Singer Kang Seong-hoon won the trial related to the contract with the company that held the Taiwan fan meeting and finished the legal battle.
According to the law firm Jeong Sol, who is the legal representative of Kang Sung-hoon on the 2nd, the 12th Division of Civil Affairs of the Seoul Northern District Court ruled in favor of Kang Sung-hoon on the 28th at Woori Entertainment’s lawsuit for damages claim against Kang Sung-hoon.
On this day, the court sentenced, “Written by Woori Entertainment, pay 80 million won and delay damages to Kang Sung-hoon.”
The judge said, “It is reasonable to assume that the cause of the cancellation of the performance in this case is due to reasons attributable to the plaintiff on the Taiwan side.” The document required to be supplemented by the Ministry of Labor in Taiwan is a document that confirms the intention to participate in the performance of Kang Sung-hoon, written with Woori Entertainment, an employer company, and Sung-hoon Kang, or Forever2228, an agency related to the performance in this case. It means that it is difficult to say that YG’s exclusive contract and personal activity agreement, which had nothing to do with spring as appropriate, correspond to the document requested by the Ministry of Labor to be supplemented.”
In addition, he added, “It was difficult to admit that the reason attributable to the cancellation of the performance in this case was on the part of Kang Sung-hoon,” he added, “I only requested the wrong documents from Kang Sung-hoon, and I could not take appropriate measures.”
Lee Soo-jin of the law firm Jeong Sol, the legal representative of Kang Seong-hoon’s side, said, “The Taiwanese fan meeting organizer did not properly process the visa application process, 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 obvious that this could not be done, and only because I was convinced that the other party was wrong with the cancellation, I was able to win.”
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.
Meanwhile, Kang Sung-hoon is continuing his activities through social media and YouTube live.
