Ilgan Sports stated that even if BTOB members were to find a new home, the members would like to continue the group. The news outlet stated that a generous signing bonus might be key to negotiations. It is reported that the members were recently offered ₩6.00 billion KRW (about $4.44 million USD) by an unnamed label.
Netizens reacted to the news, with many rooting for the group. Many fans speculated whether the group collectively will be signing to a different label.
“Will they move labels together? I think that would work for BTOB.” “I want to see BTOB sing together for a long time.” “I wonder if Cube released the info about the signing bonus…” “Cube, those jerks.” “I am not a fan, but I like their songs and want them to continue releasing music…” “Sigh, Cube b@stards usually don’t re-sign their artists, ㅠㅠ.” “Please, BTOB, leave Cube. I don’t care if you have to change your name to CTOC.” “Leave Cube.” “They are a good group, ㅜㅜ.” “Wow, will they all leave to a new label together?” “If they are leaving together, they might be waiting for the one member’s contract to end.”
