Singer Lee Mujin filed for a provisional injunction to suspend the effect of his exclusive contract with his agency and left a suggestive remark.
On the 27th, the Civil Division 50 of the Seoul Central District Court held a hearing on Lee Mujin's petition for a provisional injunction to suspend the effect of the exclusive contract, claiming he had not received settlement money of 2.1 billion won from his agency Big Planet Made.
On that day, Lee Mujin's side said the amount not received from the agency amounted to 2.1 billion won and "we notified the termination of the exclusive contract due to the debtor's (Big Planet Made Entertainment) breach of settlement obligations, but Lee Mujin still appears on portal sites as an artist belonging to the debtor. For Lee Mujin to carry out entertainment activities more safely, a judicial decision on this matter is necessary," they said.
In response, Big Planet Made said, "We do not believe the circumstances of the settlement money not being paid are entirely the debtor's fault," and "If Lee Mujin wants the effect of the exclusive contract suspended, we will accept that. But having spent time together, the debtor feels a sense of self-reproach that the artist would leave like this because the company became difficult," they said.
The court said it would give the parties three weeks to try to reach an agreement on terminating the exclusive contract and continue the lawsuit if they fail, and Lee Mujin posted on social media that day, "May is already ending. Time speed is insane," along with photos showing his recent condition.
Fans left supportive comments on Lee Mujin's update such as "a truly strong person who looks like nothing is wrong," "I hope everything you want comes true and you become even happier," and "we are always supporting you."
Meanwhile, Lee Mujin will appear on MBC every1's The Great Guide, which is scheduled to premiere on June 9.
