Singer Kang Seong-hoon won a trial regarding a contract with a company that held a fan meeting in Taiwan.
According to the law firm Jeong Sol, who is the legal representative of Kang Sung-hoon, the Civil Part 12 of the Seoul Northern District Court said on the 28th of last month that Woori Entertainment filed a lawsuit for damages against Kang Sung-hoon. “Pay it” was sentenced.
The judge said, “It is reasonable to assume that the reason for the cancellation of the performance was due to reasons attributable to the plaintiff on the Taiwan side.” He said, “It is difficult to admit that the reason attributable to the cancellation of the performance in this case lies with Kang Sung-hoon.”
Lee Soo-jin of the law firm Jeong Sol, who is the legal representative of Kang Sung-hoon’s side, said, “The Taiwanese fan meeting organizer did not proceed with the visa application process properly, such as having Taiwan, the organizer of the fan meeting, act on behalf of a third-party company that could not be a visa applicant. It was clear that this could not be done, and I was able to win only because I was convinced that the other party was wrong about the cancellation.
Prior to this, Woori Entertainment did not register as a popular culture and arts planner with the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, but signed a Taiwan fan meeting performance contract with singer Kang Sung-hoon, and was punished for violation of the Pop Culture and Arts Industry Development Act. As a result, Mr. Ji, the businessman who arranged the fan meeting, received a summary order with a fine of 3 million won on charges of defamation against Kang Sung-hoon.
After winning the victory, Kang Sung-hoon wrote on his social media, “I’m sorry for making fans worry and thank you for waiting. I will try harder to show you a good image. I love you.”
