On July 25 KST, the 31st civil division of the Seoul Central District Court ordered the management label KeyEast to pay the drama production company Victory Contents an amount of 1,421,470,000 KRW (~ $1 million USD) in damages for the trouble caused by actor Ji Soo's school bullying controversy. 

Previously in 2021, actor Ji Soo became embroiled in school bullying accusations. At the time, he was appearing as the male lead of the KBS2 drama 'River Where the Moon Rises', produced by Victory Contents. Although the drama had already aired up to episode 6, Ji Soo apologized for his controversy and stepped down from his role as the drama's male lead. Ultimately, actor Na In Woo was cast as a replacement, and the drama's entire crew proceeded to re-film the series with a new male lead. 

Meanwhile, following his school bullying controversy, Ji Soo terminated his contract with KeyEast and enlisted for his mandatory military service. In 2023, after completing his mandatory service, the actor revealed that he had come to a settlement with his school bullying accuser.
