Three years after their debut, the seven-member Filipino boy group HORI7ON has ended their exclusive management agreements with ABS-CBN Corporation and MLD Entertainment, with the termination taking effect on August 13, 2026.
HORI7ON made its debut in July 2023 after being formed through ABS-CBN's reality show Dream Maker, bringing together Vinci, Kim, Kyler, Reyster, Winston, Jeromy, and Marcus. The group went on to build a following both in the Philippines and South Korea as they pursued their goal of bringing Filipino talent to the global stage.
The decision to end their management agreements came after the members raised concerns about their contracts with MLD Entertainment. Through their legal representatives, the group said a formal notice was sent to the agency in July, but the concerns were not resolved within the given period.
Still, this isn't the end for HORI7ON.
The members have made it clear that they plan to continue pursuing their careers in the Philippines, giving fans something to look forward to as they figure out their next steps. They also apologized to their supporters, known as Anchors, for the circumstances surrounding the announcement and reassured them that more details about their plans will be shared in time.
Since their debut in 2023, HORI7ON has taken its music beyond the Philippines, building a name for themselves while representing Filipino talent on the global stage. Now, three years into their journey, HORI7ON is ready to take on a new chapter—and fans will surely be watching to see what comes next.
