In June 2023, SM Entertainment said that an external company, reported to be BPM, had attempted to poach the Exo members Baekhyun, Chen and Xiumin. MC Mong was said to have influenced the Exo members to sign a contract with BPM, in violation of their exclusive contracts with SM. This was denied by both BPM and MC Mong. SM later withdrew the allegations and apologised. The following month, media outlet TenAsia obtained a transcript of a conversation in which MC Mong described attempting to recruit Baekhyun and his fellow Exo member Kai, appearing to contradict previous denials. In May 2024, BPM's parent company, One Hundred, incorporated Baekhyun's company, INB100, as a subsidiary. In a press release announcing the decision, One Hundred said that BPM and INB100 had "become one family". One Hundred said that BPM could provide the infrastructure INB100 needed, while BPM and One Hundred would gain a powerful IP.
