Yoo Joon-won, who is in exclusive contract conflict with MBC's "Boy Fantasy-After-school Excitement Season 2" (hereinafter referred to as "Boy Fantasy"), was found to have failed again in the agreement with Funky Studio.
As a result of the Star News confirmation, the 31st Civil Affairs Department (C) of the Seoul Central District Court held a settlement date for a lawsuit for damages related to the exclusive contract filed by Funky Studio against Yoo Joon-won on the 6th. The date was held behind closed doors, and both representatives of the lawsuit, including CEO Kim Kwang-soo and Yoo Joon-won, reportedly attended.
However, it turned out that the two sides failed to reach an agreement through mediation. As a result, the main lawsuit will continue, and the next date will be set for the 26th.
Yoo Joon-won was previously confirmed as the debut group of Fantasy Boys by ranking first in MBC's "Boy Fantasy," but he was in conflict due to demands for an increase in profit distribution rates and the team's unauthorized departure, and Yoo Joon-won filed an injunction against Funky Studio to suspend the validity of the exclusive contract, but lost.
Since then, Funky Studio has strongly criticized Yoo Jun-won, who is preparing for a fan meeting secretly in violation of the contract, saying, "We will seek out Yoo Jun-won's fan meeting production company," and added, "We will apply for proof of content and provisional disposition to the planner and production company, and this is a form of conscience to fantasy boys members."
Funky Studio then said, "We confirmed that Yoo Jun-won violated the contract and secretly prepared for a Japanese fan meeting with Japanese performance producer Huckleberry (ハックルベリー), and expressed his intention to take legal action," adding, "We recently confirmed that a domestic production company preparing for a fan meeting between Huckleberry and Yoo Jun-won is an Apple Monster." "As Yoo Joon-won lost his application for an injunction to suspend the validity of the exclusive contract, it is a clear violation of the contract to hold events such as fan meetings without our company's knowledge," he said. "We plan to submit a petition to the Korea Entertainment Management Association (Yonyeop) and the Korea Entertainment Producers Association (Yonyeop).
Nevertheless, Kim Kwang-soo, CEO of Pocketdol Studio, said, "If Yoo Joon-won returns, I will discuss it with the members and go together. There is a legal problem, but I will persuade the production company Funky Studio," he said, reaching out to Yoo Joon-won until the end, but Yoo responded without responding until the end, and Funky Studio, which judged that he had no intention of returning, filed a lawsuit for 3 billion won in damages against Yoo Joon-won.
In this regard, Yoo Jun-won said, "Pocketdol, Funky Studio and Yoo Jun-won only signed a broadcast appearance contract for 'After-school Excitement Season 2', but have never signed a formal exclusive contract since then."
"The provisional disposition case is only the name of the case, but the actual request made by Yoo Jun-won was to ask Pocketdol and Funky Studio not to interfere with their entertainment activities, but the court rejected the application because there was no exclusive contract between Pocketdol, Funky Studio and Yoo Jun-won."
Yoo Jun-won said, "If you look at the decision to suspend the validity of the contract, there is only an abstract agreement between the creditor (Yoo Jun-won) and the debtor (Pocketdol, Funky Studio) to entrust the debtor with management authority for performing entertainment activities, and there is no specific agreement on exclusive contracts, so there is no basis for the debtor to object to the creditor's entertainment activities. As long as the debtor himself admits that there is no specific agreement on the exclusive contract, it is difficult to say that there is a concern about raising objections to entertainment activities," adding, "I ignored the contents of the court's decision." He argued that claiming to take a strong legal action by maliciously distorting the name of the case and the content of dismissing the application of the provisional injunction case and calling for an exclusive contract violation that was not even signed is a violation of the court's ruling and is an illegal act that defames Yoo Joon-won by spreading false facts.
