The truth workshop between Singer Kim Soo Chan and Music K Entertainment has been ignited.
Kim Soo Chan has been shocked by the Disclosure that he had only 200 million debts, rather than receiving a Settlement for three years as a Singer of Music K, and the two sides are sharply confronted and the truth workshop is accelerating. The controversy came to the surface on the 24th when Kim Soo Chan claimed to the social network service (SNS) that "what I got from my singing activities with Music K Entertainment for three years was a debt of more than 200 million won for Settlement 0 won." Kim Soo Chan said, "My choice to prevent the debt from increasing and the monthly living expenses as I work is to start my military service, which I thought would be done someday."
The public criticism of the agency has increased, and Music K has released an official position on the 25th that denies Kim Soo Chan's Disclosure. Music K refuted Kim Soo Chan's claim that it was not confirmed, saying, "We went through a Settlement process that we signed with the person every month for transparent Settlement processing." "Kim Soo Chan's military service is not a financial problem. He added that he proposed to join the company because it was reasonable to fulfill the obligations of the state sooner than to do limited activities in the aftermath of Corona 19.
When the official position of Music K was reported to the media, Kim Soo Chan wrote a refutation to his agency's position through a fan cafe on the same afternoon. Kim Soo Chan said, "I only tell you the truth." It is true that I gave a Settlement table every month. There was no amount of Settlement, but it was rather negative, and all the money received as a cause of food and shelter (money to maintain other life such as rent) was borrowed and the debt was increased. "
“The Settlement document, which was confirmed by the lawyer, also includes the money that was paid as a down payment at the time of the contract,” he said, protesting that the down payment was set as a debt. He also insisted that he had been forced to register the university earlier this year to postpone the army in his affiliated company.
Music K also adhered to the same position in Kim Soo Chan's re-enactment. Music K said on July 26, "We are trying to talk to Kim Soo Chan, but we are refusing to talk and spreading false allegations that are ridiculous." "As a company, we decided not to give any more tolerance and decided to concentrate on revealing the truth in court. If we continue to make false allegations, we will proceed with criminal charges. "
Music K, who had originally said that he would solve the misunderstanding with sufficient explanation, predicted legal response, and the conflict between Kim Soo Chan and his agency deepened. Among them, negative public opinion toward Music K is being created as it is revealed that Music K has also engaged in legal work with Singer Hong Jin-young in the past.
Hong Jin-young claimed that in 2019 Music K signed a back-to-back contract with advertisers and embezzled hundreds to tens of thousands of won in monthly fees. In addition, a large number of events and advertising revenues were missing and the contract could not be maintained. He filed a lawsuit against Music K for suspension of exclusive contract. However, at that time, the legal battle was concluded by the agreement when Hong Jin-young withdrew the lawsuit against Music K. As the Settlement problem for the Singer is again emerging, Music K is not expected to avoid public criticism.
Meanwhile, Kim Soo Chan appeared on JTBC 'Hidden Singer' Nam Jin in 2013 and acted as Little Nam Jin. He signed with Music K Entertainment in January 2019.
