Yoochun sued by former manager for unpaid salary and contract disputes

AKP STAFF

Yoochun is facing a lawsuit filed by his former manager for unpaid salary and contract disputes.

On March 9, the Seoul Eastern District Court held the trial following a 4-mont hiatus, and Yoochun was reportedly not present. Yoochun's ex-manager Kim is claiming the former JYJ member breached their contract, and he did not receive his agreed-upon salary of 600 million won ($455,598.16 USD) over 6 years. Kim has been Yoochun's manager since his JYJ days as well as under his one-man agency Riciel, who Yoochun accused of improperly distributing profits. 

Kim further claims he was promised a CEO spot at Riciel with a salary of 100 million won ($75,933.03 USD), but he was not paid the salary due to the allegedly unjust termination of his exclusive contract, which led to a loss of 570 million won ($432,818.25 USD).

Yoochun has not publicly responded to the accusations. His next hearing is set for March 27 KST at the Seoul Eastern District Court.

This is just a click bait article. This Kim from JYJ days was the Ceo of Riciel when Park Yuchun was just an artist And this Kim was the one that make decision for the company and sold the company to his friend to avoid legal action . How can an artist be the one distributing profit? So how can he asked to be paid by his artist? He should instead go to international arbituary law court since I believe PYC is now living in another country if he in fact has a case. This is all just noise making in South Korea by media to cover some situation now in their country.
