The potential change has disheartened some fans, 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 needs to be created only fuels concerns about the scope of the rebranding.

However, it is also possible that the rediscovered account was created by a fan after news of the trademark registration spread. Without confirmation from IST Entertainment or One Hundred, fans are left in suspense, eager for official announcements that clarify.
