JBJ95, lawsuit against agency requesting termination of exclusive contract

 

Group JBJ95 filed a lawsuit against the agency by insisting on terminating the exclusive contract against the agency for reasons such as negligence of management, and the agency denied the related details.

According to the legal community, JBJ95 filed a lawsuit against the current agency, Star Road Entertainment, to confirm the existence of an exclusive contract in the Seoul Western District Court on the 9th.

JBJ95 is a two-member group consisting of Sang-gyun (Kim Sang-gyun) and Kenta (Kenta Takada), members from 'Produce 101', and debuted with the mini-album 'Home' in October 2018.

According to the complaints submitted to them, JBJ95 had to hire a temporary manager directly because all of its employees left the company due to unpaid wages and did not support a dedicated manager. Because of this, JBJ95 had considerable difficulty managing schedules, as well as hiring stylists, and managing hair and makeup reservations. JBJ95 members also took care of the expenses for their recruitment and transportation.

The members of JBJ95 sent proof of the contents to their agency, Star Road Entertainment, to correct the violation of the exclusive contract and plan for future activities, but rather, the agency said to compensate for damages and punishment. They claim that there is no sign of correction for JBJ95 support activities such as content production and schedule adjustments, such as wages being overdue and all employees leave the company.

An official from Star road Entertainment said, “I am truly sorry that this lawsuit was filed in a difficult situation.” “It is only that there was no manager in charge. I managed to do it.”

Regarding the claim that the agency did not manage the recruitment of stylists and reservations for hair and makeup, the film company prepared the relevant staff during the filming process by the member, but the member rejected it and asked for it. And there are related data.” In addition, he said, “The content of compensation and penalty for damages was first received from the JBJ95 member, and the contents of the law firm went to each other in the process of sending the proof of content to refute this.”

The official said, “The company held several events to overcome the difficult times, but rather the situation that the JBJ95 members are refusing to do so,” said the official. “It is improbable that the company even filed a lawsuit under the guise of being difficult.”

Regarding this case, JBJ95 said, “I am sorry that many people have been concerned about the difficult times due to Corona 19. . I hope I can greet you with a more mature look.”
