Popera singer Lim Hyung-joo (40) retorted to the "unpaid construction payment for the Seoul Popera House." It countered the subcontractor's rebuttal statement, saying, "It is to scratch the image."

The agency DIGENCOM said on the afternoon of the 3rd, "I would like to convey the official position of the agency on the belated rebuttal of all subcontractors that are presumed to have been distributed to media companies today (3rd)."

They pointed out, "First of all, we regret that a month after the official statement of the agency DIGENCOM's rebuttal was released on March 5 before the official announcement of the position, the position of the subcontractor's re-conflict is only a repetition of the image scratch against Lim Hyung-joo."

Subsequently, "Paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 of the subcontractor's rebuttal position have no new facts at all in the contents that have already been extensively reported to media outlets on the 5th of last month. Nevertheless, there is no way to erase the suspicion that it was recycled as a purpose and means to repeatedly scratch Lim's image in media companies," he added.

Lim Hyung-joo said, "In addition, the claim in Paragraph 4 that the 'claim to sell KRW 15.2 billion is only a time-consuming response that is significantly less realistic" and the claim in Paragraph 5 are only extremely one-sided claims by all subcontractors that cannot prove any objective legal basis at all. Lim Hyung-joo said, "I am very angry that they are selling, slander, and distorting the 'goodwill' that they are trying to repay first through the sale of the building even at the risk of 'double settlement' of the construction cost."

In addition, "Lastly, the rebuttal statement, which has no new content since a month has passed by all subcontractors, is nothing more than the distribution of repeated press releases to deliberately scratch the image of famous people through media play. In addition, I warn all subcontractors who are still continuing to stage illegal one-man demonstrations in front of the Seoul Popera House. Lim Hyung-joo said, "After today, we will not distribute any official statement regarding the case in the future regarding the distribution of repeated press releases to scratch the image of public figures due to unilateral claims by subcontractors.

Finally, Lim Hyung-joo's side hinted at a hard-line response, saying, "After this time, we will quickly launch a strong legal response to intentional defamation and slander against Lim and illegal protests in front of his home."

Earlier last month, a subcontractor of the Seoul Popera House Construction Corporation claimed that Emblabird, where Lim Hyung-joo and his brother are in-house directors, did not pay a total of 816.55 million won for the construction. In response, Lim Hyung-joo expressed unfairness, and all subcontractors refuted, saying, "It is clear from the court that Embla Bird did not pay more than 800 million won in construction costs to the original contractor."

Hello.

This is DGNCOM Co., Ltd., the agency of Popferatenor Lim Hyung-joo.

We would like to inform you of the agency's official position on the belated rebuttal statement from all subcontractors, which is believed to have been distributed to the media on April 3, 2026 (today).

First of all, a month after the official statement of the agency DGNCOM Co., Ltd. was released on March 5 before the official announcement of the position, the subcontractor's position to refute again is regrettable in that it can only be interpreted differently due to the repetition of the image scratch against Lim Hyung-joo.

Paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 of the rebuttal position of all subcontractors have no new facts at all in the news that have already been widely reported to media outlets on March 5. Nevertheless, there is no way to erase the suspicion that it was recycled as a purpose and means to repeatedly scratch Lim Hyung-joo's image in the media.

In addition, the claim in Paragraph 4 that "the claim of the sale of KRW 15.2 billion is only a 'time-consuming' response that is significantly less realistic" and the claim in Paragraph 5 are only extremely one-sided claims by all subcontractors that cannot prove any objective legal basis.

Lim Hyung-joo is very angry that he is selling, slander, and distorting the "goodwill" that he is trying to repay first through the sale of the building even at the risk of a "double settlement" of construction costs.

Finally, the rebuttal statement, which has nothing new since a month has passed by all the subcontractors, is nothing more than a repetitive distribution of press releases to deliberately scratch the image of famous people through media play.

In addition, I warn all subcontractors who are still continuing to stage illegal one-man demonstrations in front of the Seoul Popera House.

After today, Lim Hyung-joo will not distribute any official statement regarding the case in the future regarding the distribution of repeated press releases to scratch the image of the public due to unilateral claims by subcontractors.

If you have any unfairness, please legally cover up your disputes.

In addition, after this time, we will quickly launch a strong legal response to intentional defamation and slander against Lim Hyung-joo and illegal protests in front of his home.

Thank you.
