Exo member Xiumin is embroiled in a controversy over unpaid music video production costs.

Video production company 815 VIDEO said in its official position on the 19th, "We performed the production of one main music video and one teaser video at the request of INB100 in August 2025, and the project was completed normally according to the contract signed between the two companies," adding, "The total service fee is 82.46 million won, of which 16.5 million won has been received in advance, but the balance of 65.96 million won has not been paid until now since the completion of the project."

"We have requested balance payments several times since the payment deadline and demanded official confirmation at the company level, but we have not received a clear answer or detailed payment schedule since the resignation of the person in charge," he said. "The music video has already been released on the official channel and is being used for the artist's music activities, and we deeply regret that the fair payment has not been paid for a long time despite faithfully fulfilling all production obligations under the contract."

"We have been in talks for a sufficient period of time for a smooth settlement, and if the outstanding balance is not paid as soon as possible, we will have no choice but to review all necessary measures to protect our rights under the contract," 815 VIDEO added.

Hello, we are 815 VIDEO. We are a video production that produces music videos and advertising and promotional videos.

The company will make the following official statement regarding the music video production service for "Overdrop," a song by artist Xiumin belonging to INB100.

815 VIDEO was commissioned by INB100 in August 2025 to produce one main music video and one teaser video, and the project was completed normally under the contract signed between the two companies.

The total service price is 82.46 million won (including VAT), of which 16.5 million won in advance has been received. However, the balance of 65.96 million won (about 66 million won) has not been paid until now since the completion of the project.

The company has requested balance payments several times since the payment deadline and requested official confirmation at the company level, but since the person in charge left the company at the time, we have not received a clear answer or a detailed payment schedule.

The music video has already been released on the official channel and is being used for the artist's music activities, and we have faithfully fulfilled all our production obligations under the contract. Nevertheless, we deeply regret that the fair payment has not been paid for a long time.

We would like to inform you that 815 VIDEO has been in talks for a sufficient period of time for a smooth settlement, and that if the unpaid balance is not paid as soon as possible, we will have no choice but to review all necessary measures to protect our rights under the contract.

Thank you.
