The Boyz member Kevin recently posted an Instagram story featuring Dobby from ' Harry Potter ' with the caption, " I waited 7 years to post this ." The post symbolizes his release from a seven-year contract with IST Entertainment . The post sparked a debate among fans regarding the group's disputes with their former agency.

The 11 members of The Boyz have chosen not to renew their contracts with IST Entertainment after they expired this year. They have all signed with One Hundred Entertainment to continue their activities together. However, they have encountered an obstacle regarding the right to use the name 'The Boyz'.

Label One Hundred stated that negotiations with IST Entertainment regarding the trademark rights failed due to IST's "unreasonable" terms. However, IST Entertainment refuted the claims, saying that they had granted the members the right to use the name 'The Boyz'. The agency expressed regret over the spread of false information.

With the ongoing feud between the two labels, some fans of The Boyz appear to be supporting IST Entertainment following the recent developments, arguing that it was "entirely reasonable" for IST to demand payment for the funds and resources the company had invested in The Boyz throughout their career.

Kevin's social media post sparked discussions in online communities. While many fans are happy to see the members expressing their joy over leaving IST Entertainment, others criticized them, calling them ungrateful.

"As long as they are happy."

"That's ingratitude."

"The old company was running at a loss, so no matter how hard they worked, it was like pouring water into a bottomless pit. For THE BOYZ, it's better to stick together and move forward. As long as they're happy, that's all that matters."

"I guess he really hated his old agency."

"He waited seven years to post this... Maybe I'm seeing things in a bigger picture, but if I were a fan, I'd be a little discouraged. Of course, the members probably know the full story."

"Well, the agency said they would give them the rights to the name... It would be best to settle things amicably."

"I think he just wanted to use that Dobby meme..."

"Oh my god... If they wanted to get the trademark rights for free, they should have settled things amicably. Everything is already chaotic, so why post about Dobby? If the current agency puts out an aggressive statement, and the old agency responds by officially refusing to give up the trademark rights, what are they going to do after stirring the pot like that?"

"Why is he so childish?"

"I agree that he is childish...."

"He should think carefully whether he wants the right to use the band's name..."

"There were a lot of members thanking IST and saying they still loved IST..."
