GOT7 member Youngjae stated that there was no agreement to settle the unpaid appearance fees for 'Dream High Season 2' by the end of June.

Youngjae's agency, Andbutter Company, said on the 10th, "We are stating our position regarding the unpaid appearance fees for the musical 'Dream High Season 2.' Recently, the other party announced that 'an amicable agreement was reached with GOT7 Youngjae's side to definitely complete the settlement process for the remaining unpaid fees by the end of this June.' However, we have no record of agreeing or confirming to settle the unpaid appearance fees by the end of June," it was reported.

It further stated, "The other party verbally mentioned that they would prepare and submit a payment plan, but since they already submitted a payment plan at the end of last year and the schedule proposed at that time was not actually followed, we believe that simply submitting an additional payment plan is not sufficient to confirm their genuine intention or feasibility of actual payment."

It also said, "Our agency prioritizes the protection of our artist's rights and interests and is closely reviewing the progress so far and the actual implementation status. We are continuing with the necessary legal procedures regarding this matter."

A representative of Artwon Company, the producer of 'Dream High Season 2', said on this day, "We sincerely apologize for causing concern to many people due to the recent issue of unpaid appearance fees for the musical 'Dream High Season 2.' We deeply regret that we have caused great disappointment to the actors and staff who trusted us and created the stage together, as well as to the many fans who have supported us."

It continued, "During the production of 'Dream High Season 2', we experienced the unfortunate situation of delayed appearance fee payments due to unexpected financial management difficulties. Nevertheless, as a responsible production company, we have made efforts from various angles to resolve the unpaid appearance fees."

He stated, "We have reached an amicable agreement with GOT7 Youngjae's side to definitely complete the settlement process for the remaining unpaid fees by the end of this June. Prioritizing our promise to the actor, we promise to finalize the settlement process within the agreed deadline."

On the 9th, Youngjae posted on his SNS, "It seems you said you would settle it by June 9, but it still hasn't been settled by today," informing the public about the unpaid appearance fee situation.

Youngjae said, "By August, it will have been almost a year since it wasn't settled. How do you think people feel when they see this post when they haven't even received the appearance fees they should have received? Also, please don't say that payments are being made in small amounts from the original amount that should be paid."

Youngjae had already sued the 'Dream High Season 2' production company last January. He appeared on the 'Dream High Season 2' stage from April to July last year but did not receive appearance fees even after the performances ended. Furthermore, news emerged that 'Dream High Season 3' was being produced even before the unpaid appearance fee issue was resolved, raising suspicions that the actors' appearance fees were being used to cover other costs.

Youngjae entered the military in November last year and is currently serving as a social service agent.

However, we have no record of agreeing or confirming to settle the unpaid appearance fees by the end of June.

The other party verbally mentioned that they would prepare and submit a payment plan, but since they already submitted a payment plan at the end of last year and the schedule proposed at that time was not actually followed, we believe that simply submitting an additional payment plan is not sufficient to confirm their genuine intention or feasibility of actual payment.
