Singer Lee Mu-jin (25) has won a lawsuit seeking to suspend the validity of his exclusive contract with his agency, Big Planet Made Entertainment.

According to NEWS1 on the 24th, the Seoul Central District Court's Civil Collegiate Panel No. 50 (Presiding Judge Lee Sang-hoon) recently granted Lee Mu-jin's application to suspend the validity of his exclusive contract with Big Planet Made Entertainment (hereinafter "Big Planet").

The court ruled that the validity of the exclusive contract Lee Mu-jin signed with Big Planet should be suspended until the final judgment in the main lawsuit is delivered.

Additionally, the court ordered that Big Planet must not negotiate or sign contracts with third parties, demand entertainment activities against Lee Mu-jin's will, or request third parties to prohibit his activities.

Previously, Lee Mu-jin's side notified Big Planet of contract termination due to non-payment of settlement funds for the second to fourth quarters of last year and the first quarter of this year. It is understood that the unpaid settlement funds amount to 2.1 billion won as of last year.

Big Planet is a label under One Hundred Label, an entertainment agency operated by Cha Ga-won, the chairman of the PIA Group, who is facing fraud charges in the 30 billion won range. In addition to Lee Mu-jin, settlement payment issues have recently emerged for other artists under the agency. Singer and actor Lee Seung-gi, the group VIVIZ, and nine members of the group The Boyz have all notified their agencies of contract termination or filed lawsuits.
