According to the Korean Intellectual Property Office, Exposure vitamin filed for trademark rights under the name N.R.G., New Radiancy group on May 23, 2019, but was rejected because "one person cannot apply for the name of the entertainer group." Since then, Exposure vitamin has been rejected again on February 28, 2020, when he applied for trademark rights with Chun Myung-hoon.
The Korean Intellectual Property Office is said to have said that "there is no evidence that all nrg group members have consented or consented, and that there is no evidence that nrg is a legitimate right holder."
Since then, the trademark rights of nrg have been registered in the name of Kim Tae-hyung, the nrg producer and music factory leader.
Kim Tae-hyung, in connection with the application for trademark rights of Exposure vitamins in telephone Interviews, said, "I applied for two nrg trademarks to the Korean Intellectual Property Office. I also applied during the contract period, "he said." Even Exposure vitamin informed the fans of this, but the fans said, 'Did you talk to the company? "If I apply and the patent office is not licensed, I will give it to nrg members."
Kim Tae-hyung said, "I was rejected because I reported it to the Korean Intellectual Property Office." I was also very surprised to see it, so I copied all the records from the nrg album I made so far and submitted them to the Korean Intellectual Property Office. " Kim Tae-hyung, CEO of the company, said, "nrg is a brand belonging to the music factory in some ways, and I did not know that they applied for the trademark rights, and the Korean Intellectual Property Office also wrote that the rights of the trademark rights of nrg are in the music factory."
Kim Tae-hyung said, "nrg is not active now, but if there are no members, trademark rights are meaningless. "There are various rights such as trademark rights as well as portrait rights on the contract," he said. "But they secretly applied for the nrg trademark rights while working under the name of Noon Hoon Su."
In this regard, Exposure vitamin said, "It is true that we registered the trademark with nrg," but said, "I know we are preparing to announce our position in the near future."
On the other hand, Lee Sung-jin said on July 7, "I was bullied by nrg members" through YouTube channel Adong Shindang. After that, Exposure vitamin and Chun Myung-hoon refuted that they were "unfounded" through each agency, but Lee Sung-jin said on his 9th day that "the excuse and the lie will eventually be revealed" through his instagram.
