Cha Ga-won, chairman of Peak Group and CEO of One Hundred Label, has revealed the reason for filing a temporary injunction against the MBC current affairs program "PD Notebook" ahead of its broadcast.

Cha Ga-won's legal representative, lawyer Hyun Dong-yeop, stated on his YouTube channel on the 11th regarding the reason for filing a temporary injunction to ban the "PD Notebook" broadcast: "The trailer was too shocking."

On that day, lawyer Hyun explained, "The 'PD Notebook' side made many requests for interviews with Cha Ga-won. We told them, 'If you have the intention to listen to our side fully and not edit in a biased manner, we are willing to meet and talk at any time.' That is how this 'PD Notebook' came about."

He continued, "They may ask, 'You had the interview, so why file an injunction?' But we had sufficient discussion and believed our rebuttal would be properly reflected. However, the released trailer was too shocking." He asserted, "The footage shown in the trailer was secretly filmed via hidden camera without our consent." He added, "We raised an objection regarding that."

Previously, Cha Ga-won's side filed a temporary injunction application to ban the broadcast of "PD Notebook" with the court on the 1st. They also requested that a penalty of 10 million won be paid for each violation if the injunction were breached. However, the Seoul Western District Court rejected the application on the 2nd.

As a result, "PD Notebook" aired as scheduled on that day. The broadcast covered disputes over exclusive contracts and allegations of misappropriation of company funds surrounding One Hundred Label, an entertainment agency established by Cha Ga-won and producer and singer MC Mong in 2023. The agency is currently engaged in exclusive contract disputes with its artists, including Lee Mu-jin, The Boyz, Lee Seung-gi, and VIVIZ, following recent controversies over the non-payment of large settlement amounts.
