Kim Saeng Min won't have any contract violation fees to pay off as expected after #MeToo accusations and admittance

Kim Saeng Min won't have any contract fees to pay.

After his #MeToo incident, where he apologized for his past, media outlets had predicted that he would have to pay billions of KRW for breaking the contract on his 10 shows and 20+ endorsements.

However, it's been revealed that he actually did not have any fees. An insider explained, "There were endorsements that were already over when the controversy happened. In addition, most cancellation charges occur when the person is detained by the law. It's hard to get fees just because of social criticism. Also, the case itself was 10 years ago and unrelated to the endorsements. Endorsement contracts that are short-term do not have detailed contract clauses, so he was likely quite free from charges."
