It's been belatedly reported B2ST's Junhyung was fined for his statements about his former agency head A on a February 2012 episode of KBS talk show 'Win Win'.
Junhyung said of A, "I was threatened by his intimidation," which A insisted was far from fact. A then filed a lawsuit for KBS to publicize a follow-up, and the B2ST member came forward as a witness at the court case. Junhyung denied the claim made by A that his statement on 'Win Win' was false, saying, "What I said on the broadcast is the truth."
However, A once again sued Junhyung in October of 2013 for presenting false evidence in court, and the rapper ended up receiving a monetary penalty a year later in October of 2014.
On September 30, A's lawsuit against KBS went forward, and the Supreme Court stated, "We do not know whether Junhyung's statements are the truth, and we cannot prove they were false. Publicize A's refutation on 'Entertainment Relay'."

This is one part of Korean law I find confusing. If A is an intimidating man, then it's reasonable for Junhyung to feel threatened, no? He didn't claim that A actually threatened him, but discussed his feelings. But I know under slander law in Korea, even if you say something true, you can still be taken to court.

People should always have some proof before syaing anything and that does for him and the CEO, as well because NON of them can prove anything, so we cant say who actually lie. Honestly? I'm sick of korean destroying people carrers with false accusations already!

Threatened my fcking arse. The former label head knows full well that should an idol even sneeze wrong that could end their career never mind intimidating and threatening someone. Think former label head is strapped for cash.
