[스포츠서울 조현정기자] Producer and singer Gil (real name Seong-jun Gil) from Leessang sued the songwriter, Tank (real name Jin-woong Ahn), who is a music producer.
On the 24th of last month, the law firm Oracle, who served as the legal representative of Gil, sued the tank for defamation and insults, and a complaint was filed with the Suseo Police Station.
Tank said on the YouTube channel on February 17th, “I made it to accuse a man (street) who was ugly haired by the public after living as the best hip-hop producer and the largest entertainer in Korea, and after committing drunk driving 3 times.” Posted.
Although he did not mention his real name, he made it clear by listing personal information such as the performers of MBC’Infinite Challenge’ and Mnet’Show Me the Money 5′.
Tank said, “(Gilui) is being escorted in a luxury villa close to 100 pyeong in Seorae Village with copyright fees and performance rights enough to play and eat, and money coming from the celebrity association.” (Gil) He revealed the reason for the disclosure, “Because he is living a completely different life from the reflection he emphasizes.”
He argued that “he (Gill) has been doing misogyny, assaulting his manager, and having been making four girlfriends at the same time, but also intimidating him to enjoy one-night in a club, a slave contract, unpaid wages, and even a lawsuit.” .
In addition, Tank, who revealed that he was the composer of’The Swallowtail Butterfly’ of’Show Me the Money 5′, claimed that the song was threatened with the manager of the road as the song was in danger of being sued for plagiarism.
In this regard, Gil side emphasized that it is “no work”. Oracle Law Firm said in an official statement, “The tank’s claim is a clear false fact. Therefore, it is a crime to spread it and reproduce it as a matter of fact,” and said, “Tank formed a group of roads and composers to work on music for about a year. A group of composers is not an employment relationship, but a kind of partnership, and is allocated a share of the profits generated from the resulting music, in which the composers have to share the cost, but the tank does not bear any cost, If the claim of the tank that the road unilaterally ordered the work and did not pay the corresponding price is true, why the copyright share of the’Swallowtail Butterfly’ that we worked with was three times higher than that of Gil? In addition, it was questionable how and when we were able to confine a person in the’Infinite Challenge’ practice room jointly used by the members,” he refuted the tank’s claim.
It is also unfounded that Oracle tried to inflict mistakes on the tank in relation to the copyright issue of “The Swallowtail Butterfly”. After the’Swallowtail Butterfly’ was released in’Show Me the Money 5′, the’Swallowtail Butterfly’ sang by Mr. Kim Heung-guk is unfounded. Lee Hye-min, who wrote and composed the lyrics, discussed the copyright issue, and in the process of transferring and transferring a certain share of the copyright fee, he naturally contacted, and there was no threat or coercion in the process. He said he was receiving treatment, and he constantly harassed the road before uploading the video that triggered this incident on YouTube, such as sending a video or a message that slandered the road or slandering the road from time to time. .
In addition, “It is understood that he has been making unreasonable requests to work together or buy alcohol by sending videos or messages that regularly complain of mental distress to other artists as well. Despite all these situations, Gil is a senior in life and a team member at the same time. However, the brutality of the tank continued, leading to mention of the deceased only for the purpose of cutting down the road, and there was a situation where even innocent entertainers were mentioned, which led to the conclusion that Gil could no longer tolerate. Gil will actively take civil and criminal legal actions, including criminal charges and claims for damages, regarding the spread of unfounded false information through this law firm, and will respond strictly without any agreement or preemptive action in this process.” Told.
The tank was sued after Gil announced a legal action. He recently unveiled the girl group Dissong, which shoots the girl group Oh My Girl Seung-hee, and it became controversial. Oh My Girl Seunghee’s management company, WM Entertainment, also announced that it would take legal action against the tank.
