Japanese travel agency sues Infinite agency for 280 million won

The concert, New Wave K-pop, was supposed to be held in Whajung Indoor Arena at Korea University in December 2011. Korea��s leading idol stars, including Infinite, MBLAQ, and others, were scheduled to perform.

The travel agency claims that they made a contract with the concert organizer, invested in the event, gathered Japanese travelers to come to it, and made reservations for accommodations, but the organizing body suddenly canceled the event a day before it was to take place.

In February 2012, the organizers justified their decision to cancel on the grounds that they had no choice because a large crowd had gathered at an Infinite solo concert instead. They filed a 50-million-won lawsuit against Infinite’s agency, but lost in court.

An official of Infinite’s agency says, ��We don��t understand why they filed a suit against us. We had no direct contract with them. We will know more in detail after receiving the petition.��
