Block B ({{langx|ko|블락비}}) is a South Korean boy band managed by KQ Entertainment,{{cite web |last=Yoon |first=Hyo-jin |date=June 16, 2016 |script-title=ko:블락비 소속사 세븐시즌스→KQ엔터테인먼트 사명 변경 |trans-title=Block B's agency changed name from Seven Seasons to KQ Entertainment |url=https://www.etnews.com/20160616000410 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161004042949/http://www.etnews.com/20160616000410 |archive-date=October 4, 2016 |access-date=September 24, 2020 |publisher=Electronic Times |language=ko}} and consists of seven members: Taeil, B-Bomb, Jaehyo, U-Kwon, Park Kyung, Zico, and P.O. Block B has received several accolades, including nominations for seven Golden Disc Awards and eleven Seoul Music Awards.

Block B was created by musician Cho PD in 2011 on a budget of US$1.4 million. They made their live debut on KBS' Music Bank and MTV's Match Up!. In 2012, they released their debut studio album, Blockbuster, which finished in the top ten on the Billboard Korea and Gaon Album charts.

In 2013, Block B filed a lawsuit against Stardom Entertainment—their agency at the time—and took a small break from releasing music and performing live.

Block B achieved commercial success with the single albums Jackpot (2014), Very Good (2015) and H.E.R. (2015). In 2016, they released the Japanese-language studio album, My Zone, which ranked in the top ten on the Billboard Japan and Oricon charts.

On January 3, 2013, it was reported that Block B had filed a suit against their agency to ask for their exclusive contract to be canceled.{{cite web|script-title=ko:블락비 "전속계약 취소해달라" 소속사 상대 가처분 신청|publisher=Nate|url=http://news.nate.com/view/20130104n06685|language=ko|access-date=January 9, 2013|archive-date=December 12, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141212230803/http://news.nate.com/view/20130104n06685|url-status=live}} According to media reports, the Block B members filed against Stardom at the Seoul Central District Court and stated "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...

On May 20, 2013, it was reported that Lee had committed suicide.{{cite web|title=Block B Agency Stardom Entertainment's Former CEO Commits Suicide In Wake Of Lawsuit|url=http://www.kpopstarz.com/articles/28383/20130521/block-b-stardom-entertainment-former-ceo-suicide.htm|website=KpopStarz|access-date=July 25, 2014|archive-date=January 28, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150128034506/http://www.kpopstarz.com/articles/28383/20130521/block-b-stardom-entertainment-former-ceo-suicide.htm|url-status=live}}

On June 7, 2013, the court ruled in favor of the company, saying "It's difficult to see the company not being able to pay the group as intentional. From the evidence provided so far, it is difficult to claim that the label purposely did not pay Block B. 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. There is a possibility that the musical income of 430,000,000 KRW (approximately $385,000 USD) and the event income of 5,000,000 KRW (approximately $4,500 USD) was not properly taken care of. However, from just the evidence provided, it cannot be said that the label purposely kept the money from the members."{{cite web|script-title=ko:블락비, 소속사에 패소... 법원 "수입 정산 누락 고의로 보기 어려워"|publisher=Nate|url=http://news.nate.com/view/20130607n29050|language=ko|access-date=June 7, 2013|archive-date=December 13, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141213041208/http://news.nate.com/view/20130607n29050|url-status=live}}
