Last updated:

GOT7 member Jay B will no longer be affiliated with Mauve Company, following the termination of his contract on December 2, 2025, which was publicly announced by the agency on January 16, 2026. Mauve Company issued a brief statement confirming the end of their exclusive contract with the artist, thanking him but offering little context.

Fans reacted strongly to the announcement, criticizing both its timing and tone. Many expressed frustration that the company waited over a month to disclose the termination and chose to do so on January 16, coinciding with GOT7’s 12th debut anniversary.

Social media responses described the statement as “cold,” “weird,” and “unprofessional,” highlighting the emotional disconnect between the agency and the fanbase. At the same time, fans continued to share heartfelt messages celebrating GOT7’s milestone, underscoring their loyalty to Jay B and the group despite the agency’s announcement.

Jay B’s career has seen multiple agency changes since his debut in 2014 under JYP Entertainment. He left JYP in 2021 after his contract expired, joined H1ghr Music that same year, and departed in 2022. He then signed with CDNZA Records before leaving in 2023 to join Mauve Company.

This latest development marks another shift in his professional trajectory as he prepares for future endeavors. Fans and industry observers will be watching closely to see where Jay B continues his career and how he navigates his next steps following the unexpected and publicly scrutinized contract termination.
