Lee Jae-jin, a former member of the group J-Talk, raised concerns regarding a year-end event involving three members of J-Talk (Ko Ji-yong, Jang Su-won, and Lee Jae-jin).

On the 10th, Lee began by stating on his personal social media account, "I am writing to clarify my decision not to participate in the recently discussed Inspire year-end event and to present the accurate facts regarding this matter."

He raised the issue, saying, "The discussions about my participation began when the organizers first proposed a planning document. However, during the negotiation process, I discovered problems related to the event's ticket reservation and payment methods."

According to Lee Jae-jin, cash payments were being made through personal bank accounts rather than official ticketing channels. He claimed that he learned from fans that Hwang Ji-sun, the CEO of Mountain Movement Story, the organizer, was individually contacting fans and receiving deposits into personal accounts. He stated that he confirmed that fans who had requested refunds have not yet received them.

He refuted the claims, stating, "The discussions regarding my participation did not lead to a final contract, and I did not sign the relevant contract document. To date, my photo and name are being used in event promotions, and it is being conveyed as if I directly planned or promoted the Inspire event. This is contrary to the facts. I have not directly planned or promoted the event."

He further expressed deep regret that "despite having communicated my intention not to participate multiple times and not signing the contract, my appearance is being advertised as confirmed, and the entity promoting the event is being reported in a manner inconsistent with the facts." He stated, "I request the organizers to immediately cease promotions using my photo and name, and to correct existing promotional materials and content that have been presented as if my participation is confirmed."

He added, "This statement is intended to prevent harm to fans and to correct confusion caused by information that does not reflect the facts. Going forward, I will prioritize the trust and safety of fans above all else."

Recently, Ko Ji-yong's agency, Mountain Movement, announced that it would hold 'THE TREE in INSPIRE - J-Talk's Untold Story' on the 15-16 with J-Talk members Ko Ji-yong, Lee Jae-jin, and Jang Su-won. However, various controversies have continued since the announcement of the event, including issues regarding Ko Ji-yong's participation and ticket prices. With Lee Jae-jin's declaration of non-participation added to this, attention is now focused on whether the event will proceed as scheduled.

Hello. This is Lee Jae-jin.

I am writing to clarify my decision not to participate in the recently discussed Inspire year-end event and to present the accurate facts regarding this matter.

The discussions about my participation began when the organizers first proposed a planning document. However, during the negotiation process, I discovered problems related to the event's ticket reservation and payment methods.

At the time of the participation negotiations, I was not informed in advance by the organizers that cash payments would be made through personal bank accounts rather than official ticketing channels. Subsequently, through reports from fans, I learned that Hwang Ji-sun, the CEO of Mountain Movement Story, the organizer, was individually contacting fans and receiving deposits into personal accounts. I also confirmed multiple times that fans who had requested refunds have not yet received them.

Concerned about harm to fans, I requested the organizers to promptly process outstanding refunds and to conduct transparent ticket sales through official channels. However, as these concerns were not resolved, I decided not to participate in the event and communicated my intention not to participate to the organizers multiple times. The organizers acknowledged receipt of my position and responded that they understood.

The discussions regarding my participation did not lead to a final contract, and I did not sign the relevant contract document.

Nevertheless, to date, my photo and name are being used in event promotions, and some media reports have conveyed it as if I directly planned or promoted the Inspire event. This is contrary to the facts. The discussions about my participation began with a planning document proposal from the organizers, and I have not directly planned or promoted the event.

I express deep regret that, despite having communicated my intention not to participate multiple times and not signing the contract, my appearance is being advertised as confirmed, and the entity promoting the event is being reported in a manner inconsistent with the facts.

Therefore, I request the organizers to immediately cease promotions using my photo and name, and to correct existing promotional materials and content that have been presented as if my participation is confirmed. I also ask media professionals to accurately verify the facts regarding the entity planning the event and the status of participation negotiations and contract execution, and to correct any inaccurate reporting.

This statement is intended to prevent harm to fans and to correct confusion caused by information that does not reflect the facts. Going forward, I will prioritize the trust and safety of fans above all else.

Thank you.

- Lee Jae-jin
