[BREAKING] Block B sues Stardom, asks for exclusive contract to be nullified

It has suddenly been reported that Block B has filed a suit against their agency to ask for their exclusive contract to be nullified.

According to the media outlets that reported this, the Block B members have filed against Stardom at the Seoul Central District Court, stating, “During the signing of the exclusive contract, it was promised that in addition to providing proper training opportunity and facilities, we would be paid on every 25th of the following month… However, the agency has not paid us for nearly one year since April of 2011.” (it’s not clear whether it is 2011 or 2012 since the quote in the article states that it is nearly a year, but April of 2011 would be well over a year).

“It started last year in March when one member’s contract was ended and his portion of the pay was calculated… Appearance fees from events as well as pay from SBS drama ‘Phantom’s OST, MBC drama ‘Golden Time’ OST, and funds collected from the inaguration of our Japanese fan site’s fan club, and more for a total of 10 things, have been omitted.”

They also added, “The CEO of the agency, Mr. Lee, has also disappeared with the 70,000,000 KRW (~66,000 USD) that he collected from the members’ parents to use for promotion and production costs… He never listened to the members opinions or thoughts on their activities and directed only in his way.”

So far, there has been no word from the agency about this matter, so stay tuned for updates.

Wow. This company has to get a grip together. This group might move to a different company or even disband.

i think its highly likely that they disband. The work ethic in kpop is no joke, it's almost slavery.

I'm kind of glad for them that they're fighting back :)

I do a Korean website and this issue is very hard for us. Handling fans in this case is hard...
