![Chairman Cha Ga-won / [Seoul = Newsis] Reporter Kim Hye-jin](https://image.starnewskorea.com/21/2026/04/2026041016261478935_1.jpg)
In response to a series of recent controversies, the legal representative of Big Planet Made Entertainment (BPM) Cha Ga-won said, "The substance of this case is an illegal operation by Normus, Cha Joon-young, and The Fact to take over BPM hostilely."
■ Normus' failure to comply with the contract... Refusal to Return Advance Payments 'Secures Fair Security'
Regarding the dispute with Nomus, Cha Ga-won dismissed the dispute, saying, "The trust relationship was completely broken due to the apparent failure of the contract, such as the 'prom' service failure of Nomus," adding, "We are only holding the advance payment as collateral for the settlement of the damage caused by the difficulty of proceeding with the contract until a claim for damages and a dispute agreement are reached." He stressed that this is a legitimate exercise of legal rights arising from disputes between companies, and that driving it to fraud is a malicious frame that distorts the nature of the case.
■ "Cha Joon-young and Normus' hostile M&A attempts... "Shake management rights with false information"
In particular, lawyer Hyun Dong-yup stipulated that the purpose of the complaint on fraud charges worth tens of billions of won is to "take over management rights." Lawyer Hyun Dong-yeop criticized, "This complaint is a false complaint conducted by Cha Joon-young and Normus in order to systematically take away CEO Cha Cha's company and artists," adding, "They have been spreading false facts and manipulating public opinion to justify illegal hostile takeover."
In fact, the court has already cited an application for a provisional injunction against posting articles filed by CEO Cha Ga-won in response to The Fact's misinformation. In response, lawyer Hyun Dong-yup will file a 100 billion won lawsuit for damages against The Fact, which was seriously damaged by malicious reporting in collusion with Cha Joon-young.
■ Deterioration of management caused by malicious attack leads to 'artist unsettled'
Lawyer Hyun Dong-yup pointed out that such hostile attacks and false reports by outside forces are the root cause of the company's actual management crisis. Lawyer Hyun said, "The company's external credibility has fallen and the financial environment has deteriorated due to illegal work and malicious articles from the other side," and explained, "The current failure to settle the artist is also a regrettable result of distorting the company's fund flow due to such external pressure." In other words, the parties who put the company in crisis are trying to take over the company using the crisis as an excuse.
■ "Confident to prove innocence through police investigation... "There is enough evidence in the confiscated material."
Regarding the ongoing police investigation, lawyer Hyun Dong-yup was confident of his innocence. Lawyer Hyun Dong-yup said, "The documents secured through the seizure search are normal contract-related materials that the lawyer was already preparing to submit for clarification," adding, "Especially, the confiscated mobile phones are full of evidence to prove the innocence of representative Cha Ga-won and reveal the other side's collusion, so we will actively participate in the forensics process and lead to the decision to reject."
Finally, lawyer Hyun Dong-yup said, "We will not give in to the other's malicious claims and will clearly reveal the truth," adding, "We will take all civil and criminal legal measures with zero tolerance for spreading false information and defamation to normalize the company and protect artists."
