In a surprising turn of events, ONE HUNDRED announced on May 16, KST, that they have acquired INB100, an entertainment label originally founded by EXO’s Baekhyun.

INB100, known for housing talented artists such as Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin from EXO-CBX, will now become one of the three subsidiaries under ONE HUNDRED, joining Million Market, a hip-hop label, and Big Planet Made, an entertainment label.

ONE HUNDRED was co-founded by musician/producer MC Mong and Cha Ga Won, president of the real estate conglomerate p_Arc Group.

In May of the previous year, Big Planet Made refuted allegations claiming that it had sought to recruit EXO members amid their contract renewal discussions with SM Entertainment. The label clarified that MC Mong had merely convened with “his junior artists for a personal gathering.”

The news of the acquisition has sparked a flurry of reactions from Korean netizens:

“What is this?”

“I wonder how much MC Mong said he would give them.”

“Hul…”

“They made the fans who were shielding them into clowns.”

“He made such a dumb decision.”

“I knew this would happen.”

“He was denying the allegation that he was trying to pouch the EXO members.”

“Of course.”

“This is whack.”

“Thought MC Mong’s investment wasn’t true…”

“SM… SM…”

“I guess what SM said was true, now that all the articles are being released now.”

“This is comical.”

As the news continues to unfold, fans and netizens alike are eagerly awaiting further updates on this development.

Former AOA member Kwon Min Ah—who opened up in the past about being bullied—has once again shared a deep and emotional message on social media, leaving fans feeling concerned and sending love.

On April 23, Min Ah took to her Instagram to write:
“I don’t know if I’ve become completely twisted, or if I’m just scared. Maybe I’m afraid the same thing will happen again. Everything feels scary. And I want to say something sharp to myself too—get it together.”

Along with the message, she posted a selfie where she wore a red knit top, had her hair half-up, and showed a soft pout with a calm expression. Though her outfit and style looked casual, the mood of her words felt heavy.

Fans aren’t sure if Min Ah was directing the message toward someone else or simply speaking to herself. The final line, “get it together,” sounds like a tough love reminder to herself—but also makes many wonder what she’s been going through recently.

People quickly filled the comment section with supportive messages, telling her to stay strong and reminding her she’s not alone.

Min Ah debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019. In 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been bullied during her time in the group. The confession caused a huge reaction in the K-pop world, leading to conversations about idols’ mental health and group dynamics.

Recently, she surprised fans when it was revealed she began working as a manager at a dermatology clinic, showing a new side of her life outside of the entertainment spotlight.

Fans continue to cheer her on, hoping she finds peace and happiness in whatever path she chooses next.
