Singer�Bro (Park Young Hoon), who first came into the spotlight with his single "That Kind of Guy" last year, is caught up in a legal battle with his former label, particularly with the wife of the label president.�
The wife, identified as 'A', has allegedly spread false rumors about Bro and his supposed sexual relations with a younger woman from the same label, leading Bro to file a lawsuit against her for defamation.�
A rep of Bro told OSEN Monday, "It's true that Bro filed a complaint against 'A' last month at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office of the Republic of Korea. 'A' had spread the falsity that Bro had 'sexual relations with a younger woman from the label,' so he pressed charges against her for defamation."�
The truth behind 'A's statement has yet to be revealed through investigation by prosecution, and 'A' hasn't stepped forward with a statement of her own.�
Bro has been ensnared in a legal dispute with his former label since last year. Last August, Bro declared that he was never properly paid for his debut single "That Kind of Guy" and filed a lawsuit for unjust enrichment against his former label.�

Further, Bro claimed that the label had implemented an 'ilbe' marketing strategy that he hadn't agreed to, carrying out the strategy without any input from himself.�
Regarding this dispute, the courts ruled last year that the label return a part of profits from Bro's debut single, amounting to 25 million KRW (~$21,000), to him. Bro's side further relayed, "Although the courts ruled to return the profits to him, Bro's former label is not budging."�
