Singer Lim Chang-jung has been accused of not refunding the roughly 1 billion won guarantee despite the cancellation of a concert, while his side stated that the allegations are unfounded.
On the 13th, a media report indicated that Lim Chang-jung, who is set to hold a solo concert in May, is preparing for a new performance without resolving the issues from the previous national tour contract.
According to the report, Lim Chang-jung contracted with performance planning company A for a national tour concert in 2022 and was paid a guarantee amounting to over 1 billion won, but all schedules were canceled after being embroiled in allegations of stock manipulation.
In this regard, A felt sympathy for Lim Chang-jung, who was struggling financially at the time, and bore the tens of billions of won in damages caused by the concert cancellation, but after Lim was acquitted last year, he signed a new contract with another planning company, straining the relationship between the two sides.
The planning company claimed that while they paid Lim Chang-jung over 1 billion won as a guarantee, he has not repaid any of the damages to company A.
In response, Lim Chang-jung's side stated to OSEN on the 13th, "This information is unfounded," adding, "We are in the process of arranging legal matters and will convey our position."
Meanwhile, Lim Chang-jung confirmed the holding of his solo concert "The Rustic Concert" in May 2025. The concert will take place on May 3 at the Daegu EXCO Auditorium, May 24 at the Busan Dream Theatre, and May 31 at the Yonsei University Main Auditorium in Seoul.
