Ahn Jae-hyun's agency "Ku Hye-sun pretended to be a victim... There was no unpaid performance fee"

While actress Goo Hye-sun, who lost a lawsuit against her former agency for non-payment of appearance fees, announced that she would appeal, HB Entertainment announced that it would proceed with strong legal procedures against Goo Hye-sun's false claims.

On the 20th, HB Entertainment said in an official position, "We are seriously considering property damage and mental damage to our employees and artists due to continuous legal response due to disputes related to Goo Hye-sun's exclusive contract and lawsuits based on repeated false claims over the years. I am wearing it,” he said.

They continued, "Ku Hye-seon is distorting the court's judgment and pretending to be a victim with false facts, revealing her position that the judicial authorities' strict judgments regarding disputes started by her own will were wrong." The Korea Commercial Arbitration Board and the court judged that HB Entertainment had no unpaid amount to Goo Hye-sun.

HB Entertainment said, "Although this case has nothing to do with non-payment of appearance fees or tyranny of power, Goo Hye-sun has been damaging HB Entertainment's honor and credibility with various false facts over the years." Although we have refrained from media reports and responded only legally to Goo Hye-sun's unjust claims for years, we cannot tolerate any more distorting and denying court decisions, interfering with the company's work, and seriously damaging our reputation. We will proceed with legal procedures against the disclosure of facts and false reports.”

HB Entertainment is seriously suffering property damage and mental damage to its employees and artists due to continuous legal response due to Goo Hye-sun's exclusive contract-related disputes and lawsuits based on repeated false claims over the years.

Goo Hye-seon is distorting the court's judgment and posing as a victim with false facts, revealing her position that the judicial authorities' strict judgments regarding disputes initiated by her will were wrong. However, the judgment of the Korea Commercial Arbitration Board and the court is that there is no unpaid amount from HB Entertainment to Goo Hye-sun.

Although this case has nothing to do with non-payment of performance fees or abuse of power, Goo Hye-sun has been damaging HB Entertainment's reputation and credibility with various false facts over the years. Since Goo Hye-sun was an actress for a while, we refrained from media reports and responded only legally to Goo Hye-sun's unfair claims for several years. We can no longer ignore the matter, so we will proceed with legal proceedings against all false announcements and false reports of Goo Hye-sun.

Reporters are also asked to publish only facts that have been clearly confirmed.
