On the 5th, CEO Kim Kwang Soo said in an official position, “If Yu Junwon regrets his mistakes and returns before the Tokyo concert, I will discuss with the members and go with them.” “I know we have a legal problem, but I will persuade the production company Funky Studio to drop all lawsuits. I will also pay for the lawyer’s fees that they have to ask. If the litigation period is prolonged, it will have a negative impact on Yu’s future. I will contact Yu later this afternoon,” he added. So they will be having conversation on the problem together.
Informations about Lawsuit
On November 24, the 21st Civil Affairs Department of the Seoul Western District Court rejected an application for a temporary injunction to suspend the validity of the exclusive contract filed by Yu Junwon against Funky Studio. As a result, Yu Jun Won needs to pay all of the costs of the lawsuit and the other side’s lawyer’s expenses. The court concluded that most of the contracts that Funky Studio presented to Yu were in accordance with the standard exclusive contract for pop culture artists (singers) announced by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. Therefore, Funky Studio cannot be seen as unreasonable demand to Yu.
Currently, Funky Studio is preparing a lawsuit for damages of 3 billion won filed against Yu Junwon. Funky Studio has submitted a complaint, and Yu Jun Won has appointed a lawyer to submit an answer. Although the date for pleading has not yet been set, a full-fledged lawsuit is scheduled to take place between the end of this year and the beginning of next year.
So it seems Kim Kwang Soo wants to solve the problem with Yu Junwon before the lawsuit really starts. Now it adds curiousity about what kind of move Yu Junwon will take.
