Addressing the problem, ONE HUNDRED launched the next assertion on September 25:
Howdy.
That is ONE HUNDRED, the company of THE BOYZ.We deeply sympathize with the confusion and discomfort our followers have skilled as a result of similarities between THE BOYZ’s official gentle stick and QWER’s gentle stick design, and we sincerely remorse that this case has brought on misery.
As a result of a lightweight stick is a significant image that connects artists and their fandom, we totally perceive how upsetting this controversy should have been for The B [fandom name].
Since turning into conscious of the matter, we’ve been in discussions with QWER and requested design modifications. Nevertheless, we had been unable to achieve a closing decision.
We apologize for not addressing the problem extra promptly. Transferring ahead, we are going to take robust motion—together with all authorized measures in collaboration with related establishments—to make sure that such incidents don’t occur once more.
We will even pay nearer consideration to make sure that the particular symbolism THE BOYZ and The B have constructed collectively is rarely handled carelessly.
We are going to proceed to hearken to followers’ voices and act with higher warning and accountability.
