Block B To Return On October 3 With 'Very Good' Comeback Showcase

For fans of the seven-piece K-pop boy band Block B, the wait is almost over.

After months of legal battles stemming from the suicide of their record label CEO while they were on Stardom Entertainment, Block B is about to be back, for good.

On Tuesday morning, the group announced through their official Twitter account that their comeback was only weeks away.

"Block B's comeback showcase 'Very Good' on October 3," read the short message that created quite a large commotion online.

"Oh my gosh!" tweeted Jewelry singer and apparent Block B fan, Kim Yewon.

Allkpop reader Sleepychibi was equally enthused.

"I've missed them so much," she wrote on the website's message board on Tuesday. "They deserve this comeback so much more than before."

Last week, Block B made headlines when the band announced they had reached a legal agreement with Stardom Entertainment to exit the record label and sign with rival company Seven Seasons.

"We will do our best so that [the members of] Block B, who have had a difficult time for a while, will be able to step foot back into the music industry and have their talents shine," read an official announcement of the move, released by Seven Seasons executives.

"In addition, we want to thank all the fans who continued to have faith in Block B and we will make sure to pay you back for your trust."

Back in June, a Seoul Central Court judge dismissed the lawsuit Block B filed against record label Stardom Entertainment, charging that they were owed thousands of dollars in unpaid wages.

In the lawsuit, which Block B filed last year, the band members demanded to be released from their contract with the record label that created them.

"During the signing of the exclusive contract, it was promised that in addition to providing proper training opportunity and facilities, we would be paid on every 25th of the following month," the suit charged.

"However, the agency has not paid us for nearly one year."

Although the court concluded that it was possible the record label owed Block B money, it was determined there was not sufficient proof that Stardom Entertainment had shirked on their obligations to the band.

"From the evidence provided so far, it is difficult to claim that the label purposely did not pay Block B," read the official court statement.

"It is also difficult to say that the label did not provide proper facilities such as studios and dorms, and it is also difficult to say that they did not provide education and guidance. From written records, it cannot be said that Stardom Entertainment violated their management obligations."

The band claimed to have not been paid since March of 2011, a charge Stardom Entertainment executives vehemently denied.
