The three members signed exclusive contracts with their new agency, Uncore, on October 5. An official account opened on October 26, and the name was ' It was created under the member's real name, 'EUNHA SINB UMJI', not 'VIVIZ'.

' Why can't I use the name 'BB'?

Uncore stated that they had been in discussions with their former agency, Big Planet Made Entertainment, to retain their original team name, but the agreement fell through as they were unable to narrow the differences regarding the former agency's conditions. They say they are also considering promoting under a new team name to prevent their comeback and the resumption of activities from being postponed indefinitely.

The origin of the crisis: Big Planet's non-payment of settlement funds

Big Planet stopped settlements after November 2025 and unilaterally canceled the scheduled album release and fan meeting. As the situation escalated to the point where on-site expenses had to be covered by the manager's personal funds, the members notified the termination of their exclusive contract in March 2026.

Court grants in full application for injunction

On June 5, the court granted all of the three members' applications for an injunction to suspend the validity of their exclusive contracts. The court ruled that settlement payments of at least 100 million won per member remained unpaid and that the agency clearly violated its settlement obligations. It is reported that the claimed amount is expected to increase further in the main lawsuit.

The reason for filing a 'lawsuit to confirm status' instead of contract termination

The lawsuit filed by Kim Gun-woo on October 25 is not a 'suspension of the validity of the exclusive contract' to leave the agency, It is a 'status confirmation lawsuit' seeking legal confirmation that he is a member of Alpha Drive One. It is reported that Kim Gun-woo's side strongly desired to return to team activities after completing his period of self-reflection, but chose to file a lawsuit when his agency did not proceed with the reinstatement process.

Agency's Position and Whether to Leave

Wake One stated, "We discussed the direction of future activities, but there were significant differences in position." They announced that they will continue with their scheduled activities as a seven-member group for the time being. Although the withdrawal has not been legally confirmed, many believe it is uncertain whether a full group return to the stage will realistically be realized, given that the situation has already escalated into a legal battle and trust between both parties has been broken.

4. Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Who is Seungri's wife, and is it true that she was pregnant before marriage?

A. Seungri's legal wife is a non-celebrity woman in her 20s. While it is true that she is currently pregnant and is expected to give birth early next year, Seungri's side has directly stated that the rumors of a premarital pregnancy—suggesting that they "hurriedly got married because she was pregnant"—are not true, as the child was conceived after they had already legally registered their marriage.

Q2. Why are Eunha, Sinbi, and Umji unable to use the team name 'BBZ'?

A. This is because the trademark rights and team name "BBG" belong to the former agency. The new agency, Uncore, held discussions regarding the transfer and use of the team name but failed to reach an agreement. To prevent delays in the comeback schedule, they are currently reviewing activities under the new team name by opening an account named after the member's real name (EUNHA SINB UMJI).

Q3. Has RD1's Kim Gun-woo completely withdrawn from the team?

A. His withdrawal has not been officially confirmed. The lawsuit filed by Kim Gun-woo's side is not for contract termination, but a 'lawsuit to confirm status' filed in hopes of returning to the team. However, given that his agency, Wake One, has officially announced the maintenance of a seven-member system and the situation has escalated to a legal dispute, whether he will actually rejoin the team depends on the trial results and future coordination.
