Singer Kim Ho-jung (30), who was noted for TV Chosun'Mr. Trot', was sued by former manager A, who worked together for five years until March. In response, Kim Ho-jung countered that it was "a ridiculous lawsuit."

According to SBS funE's confirmation, Kim Ho-jung and manager A of Gaon Planning, who have been working together for about 5 years since 2016, recently appointed a lawyer to file a lawsuit against Kim Ho-jung for Jinwon District Court's Jinju Support.

In a phone call with SBS funE reporters, Mr. A said, "I have been closer than my family for 5 years, and made a dedicated fan cafe in December of last year to support'Mr. Trot'. March 15'Seoul "Come up," he said, and on March 16, 20 minutes ahead of the meeting, an article called "Think Entertainment and Exclusive Contract" broke out."

At the same time, Mr. A said, "I was able to send even if Kim Ho-jung went to a bigger and more powerful place. However, I was able to send it to you in a day without saying a word'thank you' or'I'm sorry'. He was shocked, and after that, the family suffered too much and suffered ridiculous abuses such as'stealing' and'threatening' to the fan cafe."

Regarding this, Kim Joong-jung's current agency, Think Entertainment, strongly objected, "I am making an absurd claim." Kim Ho-joong said, "The Gaon project has been suing for money for four years. It is said that Mr. Ho-jung borrowed about 4 to 5 million won when it was too economically difficult. Rather, we are in a situation where we will respond legally. We have handed over the data to the lawyer and will respond, and it is a very unfortunate situation.” In addition, he said, "There was no reason to do it."

Previously, Kim Ho-jung denied that there was "no evidence, no fact" in the previous report that there was a possibility of disputes related to the previous agencies.

However, according to SBS funE reporters, YSK Media (2011~) and Pacon Entertainment (2013~), as well as Manager A, insist that Kim Ho-jung did not complete the exclusive contract period and actually acted on his own.

In particular, YSK Media Vice President Song Mo said in a phone call with SBS funE reporters, "The claim that there is no contract is not true. We have signed five years and five more years. In February, singer Kim Ho-joong'Mister Trot' He admitted to advancing to the top 7 and meeting with New Era Entertainment (a company affiliated with'Mr. Mr. Trotter').

In this regard, Kim Joong-jung's current agency, Sasang Entertainment, said, "I signed a five-year contract with YSK Media, and it was not renewed after that. It was an automatic renewal. It wasn't a contract from the entire set. If you have a problem with a double contract, you can ask as much as possible. Even though the contract is ineffective, it continues to insist on the existence of the contract.

On the other hand, the prosecution of the false accusation against netizens who continued to post on the fan cafes, such as'Gaon planning officials sold and embezzled Kim Ho-jung's souvenirs' and'Blackmail threatened to give Kim Ho-jung a 30% profit', etc. Is going to proceed with the criminal charges. "The Gaon Planning team is making ridiculous scratches. The fans are preparing to sue for it," Kim Ho-jung said.
