While singer Young Tak (real name Park 40) is resuming broadcasting activities through fixed appearances of entertainment, there is controversy as news of a criminal complaint from Yecheon brewing company, which is in a makgeolli dispute on the first broadcast day, is reported.
Young Tak will appear on the Channel A entertainment program Men's Life - groom's class these days (hereinafter referred to as groom's class) which will be broadcast for the first time on the night of the 19th, along with singer Lee Seung-chul, actor Kim Chan-woo and singer Junsu.
It is an observational entertainment that receives the 'Grand Class' needed in the times these days, and it attracted the attention of viewers because Young Tak appeared in entertainment that reveals daily life for the first time since his debut.
In addition, attention was paid to the fact that it resumed broadcasting activities that had been suspended since the controversy over the sound source hoarding. Young Tak has been hiding from an entertainment program that was appearing since it was revealed that the agency representative had asked for a music hoarding at the time of his representative song Why You Come Out There.
However, it is not possible to be happy because of another rumor. The controversy came back to the surface when Yecheon brewing company, which is in controversy over makgeolli on its first broadcast day, said it had filed a criminal complaint against Young Tak, his mother, and the representative of his agency on charges of defamation, obstruction of business, and innocence.
The controversy, which began in May last year, has not been knotted even after the year has passed. After the breakdown of the model contract renewal negotiations, Yecheon brewing appealed for 'crack damage' such as Young Tak's mother's demand for 15 billion won for three years and pig head test.
Young Tak said Yecheon Brewing is maliciously issuing What It Always Is for the purpose of 'unjust use of trademark rights' and proceeded with legal action on charges of intimidation and dissemination of false facts.
Yecheon brewery said on the 10th that the case was concluded as a 'bulsongchi', and it seemed that the victory was leaning toward Yecheon brewery, but Young Tak returned to its origin after saying that it received a call from the prosecution on the 11th, a day later.
Anyway, Young Tak is still in controversy: both sides are sharply at odds without bending their arguments, so the controversy is likely to continue for some time.
Since the news of Young Tak's appearance in the entertainment show has been reported, those who have responded that it is not too early, are concerned about the resumption of his broadcasting activities, although the charges have not been proven, but they have not been fully removed. The filming has already been carried out, the publicity has been completed, and it is not a few hours before the first broadcast, but the reactions that it is inconvenient to see him on the air are noticeable.
Of course, it is not without those who support Young Tak's activities. There are also positions that support his broadcast appearances, along with the claim that the way to overcome Yecheon brewing's 'What It Always Is' is to be more active. Nevertheless, the view that it is necessary to be cautious yet seems to prevail.
In this situation, it is noteworthy whether Young Tak's return to broadcasting will be as smooth as the broadcaster and his heart.
