The move comes as the trio prepares for a fresh start following their formal departure and legal dispute with Big Planet Made (BPM) Entertainment.

VIVIZ’s Transition and New Agency Details

UNCORE is an entertainment agency established in November 2024 as an independent label operating under Studio Lululala (SLL), a subsidiary of the JTBC banner (JoongAng Group), in partnership with YG PLUS.

Current Roster

The agency currently manages music production and global IP operations for project and survival show finalists, including the boy group Close Your Eyes (formed through Project 7).

Legal Background

VIVIZ officially notified Big Planet Made of their contract termination in March 2026 over unpaid settlement distributions, canceled activities, and mismanagement.

In June 2026, the court granted an injunction suspending their exclusive BPM contracts, freeing the members to sign with a new label while main legal proceedings finalize.

Industry Reaction and Future Plans

The potential signing with UNCORE offers VIVIZ a structured platform to resume their group activities, record new music, and reconnect with fans after a prolonged period of operational uncertainty.

Industry insiders expect an official announcement regarding their exclusive contract and upcoming promotional roadmap once final contract details are settled.
