GOT7 Jay B Mauve Company Contract Ends: Anniversary Sparked by Cold Farewell
Mauve Company announced the termination of its contract with GOT7's Jay B on Jan 16, 2026, over a month after the actual end date. Fans criticize the timing and tone.
It's a bittersweet 12th anniversary for GOT7 fans. While the group and its fandom celebrated over a decade of success, Jay B's agency, Mauve Company, chose that exact day to drop a bombshell that many are calling 'unprofessional' and 'cold.'
Controversial Timing of GOT7 Jay B Mauve Company Contract News
On January 16, 2026, Mauve Company officially announced they terminated their exclusive contract with Jay B. However, the catch lies in the fine print: the actual termination took place back on December 2, 2025. The agency waited over a month to share the news, only to release a dry, one-sentence statement on the very day of the group's debut anniversary.
Fans worldwide expressed their outrage on social media, criticizing the agency for its lack of empathy. Many pointed out that after over a decade in the industry, including his time at JYP Entertainment and H1ghr Music, the artist deserved a more respectful farewell than a delayed, minimalist post.
Reaction from the Global Fandom
This is the coldest and most distant leave announcement I have seen so far. This is the tone I use when a colleague I don’t like leaves the company.
