Anthonny, the former TOZ member, is starting fresh — he has officially joined Filipino entertainment agency SBTOWN, and marked the moment with a heartfelt letter to fans.
The news surfaced through a discussion post on r/kpop, where the headline noted both the signing and the letter. Within the hour, fans had flooded the thread with shock and support at seeing Anthonny back in the headlines in 2026.
Commenters quickly pieced together who SBTOWN is: a Philippines-based agency described in the thread as the former management company of SB19 — widely regarded as the biggest P-Pop group today — before the group went independent. Fans also pointed to its ties to PLUUS, the home of AHOF’s JL, and its track record of running fan meetings, showcases, and P-Pop and Korean crossover projects.
The dominant mood in the comments was relief. “My heart can’t take it. Glad he’s doing okay — toz not working out really screwed things up for the members,” one fan wrote, summing up what many in the thread seemed to feel.
No further details of Anthonny’s letter itself were shared in the thread, and beyond the fans’ remarks that things had not worked out for the TOZ members, no official account of the group’s status was given.
No official statement was available at press time. For now, fans are keeping an eye on SBTOWN’s channels for word on what Anthonny does next.
