A verdict is being delivered in the temporary injunction lawsuit filed by singer Lee Moo-jin against his former agency, Big Planet Made Entertainment (hereinafter "Big Planet").

The Seoul Central District Court's Civil Division 28 will deliver the judgment on the 27th afternoon regarding the lawsuit filed by Lee Moo-jin seeking confirmation of the non-existence of the validity of an exclusive contract worth approximately 2.1 billion won against Big Planet.

Previously, Lee Moo-jin obtained a ruling granting the temporary injunction and requested that the court deliver a verdict in the main trial without debate based on this ruling. The court accepted this request, finalizing the verdict date.

Lee Moo-jin notified Big Planet of contract termination last March. He then filed a lawsuit for a temporary injunction to suspend the validity of the exclusive contract, claiming that "he did not receive settlement payments for a certain period." Lee Moo-jin signed an exclusive contract with Big Planet in February 2022.

Lee Moo-jin's side stated, "We have not received settlement payments corresponding to the second and third quarters of last year and the first quarter of this year," adding, "Although we notified termination of the contract and the matter is effectively concluded, we filed the lawsuit to obtain an official judgment from the court." In response, Big Planet's side said, "We have no objection to the claim regarding suspension of contract validity" and added, "We intend to accept Lee Moo-jin's request."

The judge granted Lee Moo-jin's application for a temporary injunction to suspend the exclusive contract, stating, "Until the verdict in the main trial is delivered, the validity of the exclusive contract signed between Lee Moo-jin and Big Planet shall be suspended." The judge further emphasized, "Big Planet must not negotiate or sign contracts with third parties, demand entertainment activities against Lee Moo-jin's will, or request third parties to prohibit his activities."

Lee Moo-jin signed an exclusive contract with a new label under Mound Media last July and announced his fresh start.
