Kim Jun-soo's agency, a singer and musical actor, announced that it has no connection to the criminal allegations against an outsourced producer.

On the 26th, a representative of the agency, Palm Tree Island, told StarNews, "The criminal case in question is a personal matter completely unrelated to our business operations, and neither our company nor our artist Kim Jun-soo has any connection to the incident."

The representative continued, "We first became aware of the relevant matter in May through a formal notice. During our subsequent investigation into the facts, we confirmed that the individual in question was an outsourced producer who participated in album production but was not an employee of our company. We immediately terminated all collaborations, and the individual is currently not involved in our business operations in any way."

The agency further stated, "During the production of some tracks on Kim Jun-soo's fifth full-length album last year, we reviewed the work submitted through a publishing company in accordance with standard album production procedures. Although we initially prepared for recording based on the submitted lyric draft, we ultimately did not use that draft and proceeded with recording using new lyrics." The agency added, "From the time of that work last year until we received the formal notice in May, we received no explanations or complaints regarding this matter."

The agency explained, "During our fact-checking process, we confirmed that the representative of the lyric publishing company at the time had instructed Mr. A not to use the lyric work in question. We also had no knowledge at that time that the work was related to the Song Camp mentioned in the reports."

Consequently, the agency stated, "The lyric drafts and related materials created at the Song Camp mentioned in the reports were not reflected in Kim Jun-soo's fifth full-length album in any way. All results of the currently released fifth full-length album are unrelated to this incident."

Earlier that day, Cookie News reported that K-pop lyricist Hwang Yu-bin, CEO of XYNC, claimed that Mr. A, the producer for Kim Jun-soo's fifth full-length album, had his virtual assets worth tens of millions of won stolen after his work was stolen at a Song Camp he hosted. The report stated that Mr. A has been referred to the Prosecution Service on charges of fraud and theft. Hwang (CEO) stated that since Mr. A's name appears in the credits for all tracks on Kim Jun-soo's fifth full-length album, "Gravity," Palm Tree Island's stance of having no connection to Mr. A is difficult to understand, and they demanded at least a statement of regret and an explanation of the facts.

In response, Palm Tree Island refuted that the incident is a personal matter unrelated to the company or Kim Jun-soo. The agency also explained that Mr. A is an outsourced producer, not an employee, had no involvement with the Song Camp, and the lyric drafts created at the camp were not reflected in the fifth full-length album.

Hello.

This is Palm Tree Island.

Some reports have mentioned matters related to our company and our artist, so we wish to clarify the facts.

The criminal case mentioned in the reports is a personal matter completely unrelated to our business operations, and neither our company nor our artist Kim Jun-soo has any connection to the incident.

We first became aware of the relevant matter in May through a formal notice. During our subsequent investigation into the facts, we confirmed that the individual in question was an outsourced producer who participated in album production but was not an employee of our company. We immediately terminated all collaborations, and the individual is currently not involved in our business operations in any way.

Furthermore, we have no involvement in the lyric Song Camp mentioned in the reports, including in any process such as planning, operation, recruitment, or execution.

During the production of some tracks on Kim Jun-soo's fifth full-length album last year, we reviewed the work submitted through a publishing company in accordance with standard album production procedures. Although we initially prepared for recording based on the submitted lyric draft, we ultimately did not use that draft and proceeded with recording using new lyrics.

From the time of that work last year until we received the formal notice in May, we received no explanations or complaints regarding this matter.

During our fact-checking process, we confirmed that the representative of the lyric publishing company at the time had instructed Mr. A not to use the lyric work in question. We also had no knowledge at that time that the work was related to the Song Camp mentioned in the reports.

As a result, the lyric drafts and related materials created at the Song Camp mentioned in the reports were not reflected in Kim Jun-soo's fifth full-length album in any way. All results of the currently released fifth full-length album are unrelated to this incident.

Nevertheless, some reports have linked a criminal case involving an individual unrelated to our company to our company and our artist, causing misunderstanding, for which we deeply regret. We clearly state that if Mr. A's criminal acts are confirmed, we will not tolerate them under any circumstances.

We hope that our company's and our artist's reputation will not be damaged by unverified claims or content that differs from the facts. In the future, if content that differs from the facts continues to be disseminated, we plan to consider necessary measures, including legal action, to protect the rights and interests of our company and our artist.

Thank you.
