Famous fashion designer Sangbong was caught up in the suspicion that he used the work of a junior designer.

On the 21st, MBC 'News Desk' reported that Sang-bong Lee was hijacking the work of a young designer.

According to the media, a junior designer A offered his design to Sangbong Fashion Show held at Bucheon International Cartoon Festival last August with the suggestion of Sangbong.

At the time, Mr. A did not have a separate contract with Sang-bong, so Mr. A had the copyright.
But five months after the fashion show ended, Mr. A was strangely contacted by the usual factory dealers.

Lee Sang-bong's company has commissioned the production of fabrics, which means that Mr. A's designs, which were exhibited at fashion shows, are being used.

The company was in a situation where both Mr. A and Mr. Sang-bong were trading.

According to the design that Lee Sang-bong company has commissioned to the factory, the medium is very similar to A's design.

When Mr. A directly protested to Lee Sang-bong, the employee of the company was reported to have said, "He did it up."

In the end, Mr. A contacted Lee Sang-bong and Lee Sang-bong insisted, "I want to solve misunderstandings. I have a hard time."

Lee Sang-bong said in an interview with the media, "I admit that the company used A's design without consent, but it was an employee mistake." At the same time, I always met Mr. A and said he would solve the misunderstanding.

However, Mr. A claimed that he had already filed a complaint with Lee Sang-Bong for months, but now he wants to write a contract.

In relation to this case, Mr. A told the media that "the fashion climate, which is ignored as a powerless designer, is frustrating."

Lee Sang-bong has been caught up in the controversy about the so-called "enthusiasm" that exploits the workforce of the employees.

At that time, Sangbong said, "I focused on my life as a designer, so I could not be faithful to my role as a corporate executive. I will reflect on myself and reflect on my dreams. I announced apology.
