Display MoreActual earnings were lower because there were little activity and the owner actually put himself into an onus by accidentally saying that it was his decision to not promote without Aran. I wonder who is coaching him , since it does not seem to be done by professionals
In Korea, 'future earnings' compensation is actually quite low, usually around minimum wage. Many families were ruined when their breadwinners were killed and the culprit simply refused to pay or at most put maybe $40,000 to $80,000 in escrow, which the court usually grants.
When the rocker Shin Haechul died because of a medical malpractice, the doctor, who has a long history of malpractice but still practicing, was ordered to cough up $1 million for the future earnings of Shin who died at the age of 46. He was a well known leftist talking head who was in a program just filmed before his death, but that was what Korean courts awarded.
Since the members did not really earn much, except maybe the income from the digitals which will go to The Givers which is now a 'third party', the owner can't really collect too much from their future earnings.
A lot of Koreans who don't know how the law works are telling many stories, but the cold reality is that the owner lacks enough evidence to win in the court, and although the members will probably 'lose' in there, they will be able to terminate the contract by paying a token amount, far short of the owner's bloated expectation of $6 million, and move on to some foreign companies who are 'mysteriously' related to some other members of the Givers organization, and never look at Korea ever again.
huh really? I didn't know that about future earnings...
thanks for enlightening me my friend
is it possible to override that - as in if the contract specifies a specific sum?
