Popera tenor Lim Hyung-joo confessed his feelings directly amid a conflict over the non-payment of 800 million construction costs.

Lim Hyung-joo said on his personal SNS on the 3rd, "It's not a song that's not a spinning song, but the same contents are distributed every month and distributed again and again. Now I'm going to eat more firmly," he said.

"The same press release that is unfair to me will be continuously distributed once a month," he said. "Let's be fair and 'legal'."

Lim Hyung-joo's remarks stemmed from a conflict with a subcontractor of the Seoul Popera House construction project. On the same day, all subcontractors issued an official statement and claimed, "It is clear from the court that Amblerbird Co., Ltd., where Lim Hyung-joo is an in-house director, did not pay more than 800 million won in construction costs to the original contractor."

Lim Hyung-joo also refuted, saying, "I'm misleading the facts that it's a problem that needs to be solved by the original contractor, claiming that there's no unpaid payment from Embraid Co., Ltd., and falsely claiming that the payment has been paid in full."

On the other hand, Lim Hyung-joo's agency DIGENCOM drew a line that the incident had nothing to do with Lim Hyung-joo and said, "After a month since the official statement of the agency DIGENCOM's rebuttal was released on March 5, the position of the subcontractor's re-refutation is regrettable in that there is no other way but to interpret it as a repetition of the image scratch on Lim Hyung-joo."

"I warn all subcontractors who are still continuing to stage illegal one-man demonstrations in front of the Seoul Popera House," he said. "We will quickly launch a strong legal response to intentional defamation and slander of Lim Hyung-joo and illegal protests in front of his home."

Earlier, it was alleged that Embla Bird, where Lim Hyung-joo and his brother are in-house directors, created the Seoul Popera House and paid more than 800 million won in construction costs to subcontractors.

Seoul Popera House is a building under which Embla Bird signed a contract with the original office in 2023 and carried out construction, and brothers Lim Hyung-joo took office in 2025 as an in-house director of Embla Bird. In response, Lim Hyung-joo said, "It is a problem that A company (the original contractor), which has already been paid for the construction, has to be solved with subcontractors and has nothing to do with Lim Hyung-joo."
