Rough Translation:
[ENews Today reporter Jung Young-mi] Six members of the group Noir won a lawsuit against their former agency to terminate the exclusive contract.
According to the legal community on the 2nd, the 14th Civil Affairs Department of the Western District Court (Chief Judges Jung Hee-rim, Yoo Eun-ji, and Lee Won-joong) ruled that the defendant will bear the costs of winning the plaintiff and litigation in a lawsuit against the former Luck Factory, which six out of nine Noir members filed against the former Luckfactory.
It also ruled against the plaintiff in a damages lawsuit filed by Luckfactory against Noir.
Noir is a nine-member boy group that debuted on April 9, 2018, and includes Kim Yeon-guk and Yoo Ho-yeon, who appeared in Produce 101 Season 2, and has been on hiatus since its fourth album released in April 2020.
According to Noir's legal representative, Sunbaek (lawyer Jeon Hyun-kyu), Noir signed an exclusive contract with Luck Factory in 2018 for 6 years and 6 months, but the agency violated various obligations, including supporting entertainment activities and providing settlement data, and filed a lawsuit with the court in July 2022 to confirm the absence of the exclusive contract.
However, Luck Factory (CEO Looning-won) refused to terminate the exclusive contract and filed a lawsuit against them for damages.
Lawyer Jeon Hyun-kyu, who represented Noir, explained the reason for the lawsuit, saying, "The agency should issue settlement statements and long-term data every quarter from the time sales occurred, but it did not provide proper support, such as not attaching evidence. Since July 2020, the plaintiffs have not been able to provide vehicle support for hair care, makeup support, and performances such as hair dyeing, and since October 1, 2021, they have violated their obligation to support entertainment activities for plaintiffs under exclusive contracts because they do not have the minimum human and material resources for entertainment planning, such as registering a shared office as a company address."
The court said in a ruling, "It is reasonable to assume that the agency violated the obligation to conduct and entrust education, the obligation to support all kinds of support, and to provide settlement and settlement data, which broke the trust relationship between the plaintiffs and the defendant."
He also added, "In April 2022, the Defendant attempted to transfer the rights and obligations under the exclusive contract, including the management authority of the Plaintiffs, to other agencies without the written consent of the Plaintiffs, in violation of the contents of the exclusive contract in this case, and under such circumstances, the Plaintiffs are likely to have strong doubts about whether the Defendant is willing or capable of faithfully implementing the Plaintiffs' support for entertainment activities as a management company."
