TV ship 'Mr. Trot 's representative of Singer Young Tak' s agency was sent to the prosecution for alleged Falsifying the number of sound recordings, but Young Tak was the first to say about the issue
The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency sent Lee Jae-kyu, a member of Young Tak's agency, to the prosecution on charges of violating the Music Industry Promotion Act on January 1.
Lee is accused of commissioning a marketing company to buy music to increase the ranking of the music charts of Young Tak's 2019 release song "Why You Come Out There".
The marketing company has increased the number of streaming by using a macro program that automatically clicks the mouse.
Lee said, "I have acted in a personal greed for a while and have acted to not lose my mind." He acknowledged all the charges of this case and deeply reflected and regretted it. "
Still, Singer Young Tak insisted that it was not related to the sound recording. "Young Tak did not receive information from Gong Yoo, and I am sorry for the artist," he said.
However, on May 5, SBS reported that Young Tak knew about the "Why You Come Out There" sound recording in real time, and even agreed on such an Illegal work.
As the controversy grew, Young Tak, who was silent, opened his mouth only then. He drew a line saying "I did not know" about the issue.
"I am sorry to have bothered the fans first," he said at an official fan cafe on the morning of the 6th. "It is not true that I knew about this. I have already been present at the investigative agency and have been investigated and found not guilty of this. I can not stand being honest, so I thought I should tell the truth to the fans who believe me. "
At the time of the report, SBS also reconfigured and released the contents of The Messenger conversation, which included the monitor where the sound source is played simultaneously and the contents of the sound source streaming number Falsify. The Messenger chat room also participated in the Young Tak and showed positive reaction to the work.
However, Young Tak also denied the allegations, saying, "It is true that the manager who should play in the field is honestly pathetic about sending a monitor photo, so he sent a meaningless emoticon." "I did not think this was an Ilegal streaming work."
He added that he was not aware of the matter until the time of his participation in Mr. Trot in February 2020, and that he was angry at the work that had been done without asking himself.
But despite the Young Tak explanation, public opinion is cold. The negative issues following the controversy over the trademark rights with the maker of makgeolli and the controversy over the unreasonable contract of the mother are spreading and public opinion is also turning back. Especially, it is labeled as 'Singer No. 1 sound source hoarder'.
Of course, there are not many fans who cheer him, but it is Young Tak who has definitely suffered a great fatal blow to the image. Young Tak, who has been in the biggest crisis since his debut, is drawing attention to what he will do in the future.
Meanwhile, the police handed over the case to the prosecution by applying the charge of "interrupting the work of the computer and other obstacles" to the marketing company.
