  • Lee Mujin Suddenly Skips His Own Show Recording for 'Lee Mujin Service' – Tensions Between KBS and Xiumin's Agency Get Even Worse

    Singer Lee Mujin did not attend the recording of LeeMujin Service, the talk show named after him, as tensions between his agency, One Hundred, and KBS continue to rise.

    According to reports on March 6, Lee Mujin was missing from the scheduled recording of KBS’s YouTube show LeeMujin Service on March 5. Lee Mujin is signed under Big Planet Made Entertainment, which operates under One Hundred.

    An industry insider revealed, "Last week, One Hundred reportedly told KBS that their artists would boycott KBS appearances."

    This growing dispute is believed to have started with the controversy surrounding singer Xiumin’s appearance on Music Bank, which has now escalated into a much bigger standoff between KBS and One Hundred.

    One Hundred claims that KBS’s entertainment division is responsible for the situation, explaining, "For the past two weeks, we have been unable to reach the head of KBS’s entertainment center, who has the final say on our artists’ appearances. Despite repeatedly informing field producers, we have received no response and have not even been able to meet them."

    The agency added, "Since the head of the entertainment center refuses to communicate, we had no choice but to reject all KBS appearances for our artists, which led to this situation."

    They further explained, "If our artists continue to appear under these unfair circumstances, it will set a bad precedent. We decided to take a stand to prevent this from becoming a long-term issue."

    This isn’t the first time KBS and One Hundred have clashed. On March 5, One Hundred accused KBS of blocking Xiumin from appearing on Music Bank, stating, "KBS unofficially told us that Xiumin couldn’t appear on Music Bank or any program featuring SM Entertainment artists at the same time."

    They added, "We continuously reached out to KBS, urging them to prioritize the artist and fans, but they ignored our requests."

    However, KBS denied these claims, saying, "The assertion that KBS prevented Xiumin from appearing on Music Bank is not true."

    With neither side backing down, fans are left wondering—what will happen next?
