Their current single 'ONE' activities will continue under RBW until the 20th.
B-Wave will make extensive efforts to support ONEUS.
[TV Daily Reporter Kim Jin-seok] The group ONEUS has announced a new beginning by partnering with B-Wave Entertainment. On the 5th, B-Wave revealed that they have signed an exclusive contract with ONEUS members Seoho, Edo, Keonhee, Hwanwoong, and Shion, and called for support and interest from fans.
ONEUS will continue its single 'ONE' activities under RBW until the 20th, after which all rights will transition to B-Wave. B-Wave has acquired all intellectual property (IP) related to ONEUS from their previous agency RBW and plans to provide extensive support across music, broadcasting, and performances.
B-Wave's CEO Koo Bon-young has a background in FNC Entertainment and RBW, where he played a significant role in ONEUS's debut and growth. He stated that he will support both group activities and the individual potential of the members.
The signing of an exclusive contract between ONEUS and B-Wave represents a significant turning point that opens up new horizons beyond just a change of agency. They have already established a strong musical identity, and B-Wave promises to enhance ONEUS's uniqueness through active support in this process. This generates expectations for fans that go beyond just team activities.
The participation of notable members like H.O.T.’s Tony An and producer RT offers various advantages for ONEUS. Drawing on their experience and knowledge, ONEUS can explore more diverse content and musical experimentation. This potential aligns well with the overall evolution of K-pop, allowing them to lead new trends in the industry.
Strengthening communication with their fanbase appears to be another goal for ONEUS. Under B-Wave’s support, they will likely have greater opportunities for diverse fan meetings and events, allowing them to solidify their global fandom. Such changes are expected to positively influence not just agency advantages but also the overarching vision and musical direction of ONEUS.
