Fans of THE BOYZ may have just uncovered clues about the group’s potential new name.
Recently, the group revealed they’re going through a massive change as all 11 members have signed with a new company, One Hundred.
One Hundred — the group’s new management company run by the popular MC Mong — had applied for several trademarks as part of its preparations for THE BOYZ’s move, raising questions about whether the group would retain its original name. The trademarks included “The New Boyz” and its abbreviation, “TNBZ.”

It seems fans may have uncovered the new name after an Instagram account with the username thenewboyz.official surfaced.
The appearance of this Instagram account hints that “The New Boyz” might be the new identity the group adopts if such is the case.

The potential change has left some fans feeling disheartened, as it implies that IST Entertainment (THE BOYZ’s former agency) may not have allowed them to keep their original name or access to their existing social media accounts. The idea that a new page would need to be established only fuels concerns about the extent of the rebranding.

However, it is also possible that the newly found account was created by a fan after news of the trademark filings spread. Without confirmation from either IST Entertainment or One Hundred, fans remain in suspense, eager for official announcements to provide clarity.
