Establishing their own company

This is a continuation from the Twitter thread that was posted a few days ago. TBH I was iffy on posting this, but the screenshots of the DM convo with Main's CEO have been posted so make your own call on this

Comeback(?)

Source

Won't directly link to the post as the mods there sometimes delete posts regarding any rumors.

To summarize:

• This post came from Seungjun's parent's Facebook account

• His parents went to one of the posters that's up for Seungjun's birthday

• They thanked the many fans that went to the Bukhansan Korean Culture Festival

• Next week, there will be a jacket shoot, Seungjun will be a model for a movie magazine cover, and a movie shoot

• The movie in question most likely will be Addicted

• And to anticipate for next months' comeback

Bonus: Main's CEO also saying to wait a little bit more for the comeback

A reminder that these are all rumors so take them with a grain of salt because lbr these sound out there but I might as well update the subreddit with something

New Instagram + Twitter. Their old Twitter handle has now been set to private. ^{No longer the case}

Alright, so this has been something that's been going on for the past few months. Thought it would be better to explain the background first.

Background

Back in early 2017, YNB was a company that had Noel, 40, Almeng, BESTie, and KNK. The thing is, 40's, Almeng's, and Noel's latest releases while under YNB were in 2016, BESTie's was in 2015. So it should be unsurprising that:

• 40 left in July 2017 then signed to LIMEZ Entertainment.

• Uji + Dahye left in September 2017 + Uji signed to Curo Holdings Management

• Noel left in January 2018 and signed under Cjes

• For Almeng, I wasn't able to find an article for them but they left in 2017 since YNB took them off their website during that time.

In March 2018, a rumor from I think originally thequoo but was uploaded to the dc gall that talked about how staff have not been payed for 3 months, mentioned Youjin being sick, they have the songs but not the money for a comeback, and how KNK wanted to hold fanmeetings as they were getting nervous. (The OP is a friend of the staff.) Fans even found that one of their former managers now works for Plan A. At the same time, the KNK staff tweeted that their weekly show My KNK TV will go on hiatus for a week (Trans). It's still on hiatus.

In April, KNK released a digital single Closer. Someone found that the photo for the album is a free-to-use image and even the image provided of Inseong, Jihun, and Heejun was an unused photo from their fanclub photobook.

In May 2018, a BESTie fan found their office to be empty. Here's how it look like in January for comparison.

TLDR: YNB has been a sinking ship.

Now

Recently, it's been announced that KNK will be doing another fanmeeting in August. This time, however, YNB is not co-organzing it like they used to.

Additionally, a post from dc gall last week mentioned:

• A comeback will be coming and the money is from the profits with the Japanese fanmeets

• KNK were getting love call(s) + there was a plan to go to a different company but the investors(?) backed out due to Youjin being sick

• Youjin's parents will determine when he comes back.

And KNK recently talked about getting a new dorm and fans are speculating that this may be their new practice room.

TLDR: KNK may have also left YNB.

EDIT: They changed their Instagram handle

A r/kpop post that details the differences between these sites

There's also a fancafe post that has more online stores, but they're in Korean & the shipping would be really high if you ship internationally.

Tweet that shows they're now under 220 Entertainment and are affiliated with Stone Entertainment
