Boy band ONF has signed an exclusive contract with KI Entertainment, the company said Friday.

Member U will also begin a new chapter by changing his stage name to Yuto.


The band’s contract with its previous agency WM Entertainment ended in January.

KI Entertainment, the name of which stands for “Kulture Insight,” said it aims to develop diverse cultural intellectual property through discovering and nurturing new artists, producing albums and content as well as organizing concerts.

The agency said it would do its best to support ONF’s future music and promotional activities.

ONF will hold a livestream on YouTube on Tuesday, where the members will announce upcoming plans to fans.

ONF debuted in 2017 with the EP “On/Off”. The sextet, comprising members Hyojin, E-Tion, Seungjun, Wyatt, Minkyun and Yuto, has released songs like “Complete” (2018), “Why” (2019), “Beautiful Beautiful” (2021), “Love Effect” (2023) and “The Stranger” (2025).
