Lee Mujin’s Latest Activity Following No-Show To His Own Program Sparks Speculations
Where does soloist Lee Mujin stand amid the ongoing feud between his agency, Big Planet Made (and parent company, One Hundred Label), and KBS channel—especially after the fallout caused him to miss a shoot of his own show, LeeMujin Service, starring NMIXX‘s Kyujin?

While Lee Mujin has not commented on the matter, fans believe his actions (as in his latest Instagram activities) speak for him.
After the news of his no-show broke and inevitably, the soloist bore some of the backlash, a viral theqoo post pointed out that Lee Mujin has since taken to his social media and “Liked” the recent posts shared to LeeMujin Service‘s Instagram.
The post noted, “He liked the posts from yesterday. From what I know, he hasn’t liked anything from that account since last November.”

That said, fans believe the sudden social media activity might be hinting at his stance.
One Hundred Label is ridiculous. Celebrities aren’t employees—they’re independent contractors. If the label signed a contract with an artist, it should be helping the artist and prioritizing the artist’s best interest. Why is One Hundred Label trying to resolve its feud unrelated to Lee Mujin by dragging Lee Mujin into it? Isn’t this a contractual violation? It’s not like KBS is banning Lee Mujin, so why is One Hundred Label banning him from doing his job?

Supporting the soloist amid a feud that isn’t his fault but is causing him a scandal, fans hoped that Lee Mujin could “leave BPM soon” to a better management company.
- “Why is BPM doing this to him, really.”
- “He’s sending a signal… I’m sure he’s heartbroken about what happened. Sigh.”
- “I feel so bad for Lee Mujin right now.”
- “Hope he leaves BPM…”
- “I mean, his entire show is at risk of getting slashed because of the feud… I feel like Lee Mujin is suffering all the losses here.”
- “He’s sending us signals!”
- “Seriously, though. What even is all this?”
After the “Likes” were highlighted by some Korean media, Lee Mujin has since un-liked the posts. Meanwhile, One Hundred Label has issued an official statement about what it wants from the network. Read more:
