“I gave it to Kim Scott and Yunho” Lee Jim claims delivery accident in response to Hong Da-bin’s lawsuit
Hong Da-bin's current agency, CTYL, said in an official statement on the 30th, "On the 29th, our artist Hong Da-bin filed a lawsuit against Dream Perfect Gym Co., Ltd., former CEO Kim Scott Yun-ho, and Lizim International Co., Ltd. through Kim & Chang Law Offices for 'unfair profit distribution', ' “We have filed a complaint for reasons such as ‘non-payment of settlement fee and settlement data’ and ‘non-payment of world tour appearance fees and settlement data,’” he said.
He added, "Our company and the artist recognize the incident as serious and are taking legal action to protect the rights of our artist."
In response, Re-Zim International Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Re-Zim) also issued a counterargument. Lizym said, "In October 2017, we signed an exclusive management contract with Dream Perfect Gym Co., Ltd., to which DPR members belong, and through a fair and transparent process until September 2022, Kim Scott Yunho, who was the CEO of Dream Perfect Gym Co., Ltd. at the time, “The process of distributing the settlement money that Kim Scott Yunho received from Lee’s Gym with other members was thoroughly based on private discussions between members, and Lee’s Gym has no knowledge of or involvement in this.” claimed.
At the same time, “In relation to the 2022 world tour, Lijim has made transparent and accurate settlements to Hong Da-bin, and has already provided all related materials several times at CTYL’s request,” adding, “Proof of this will be clearly disclosed by judicial authorities.” “It is planned,” he said.
Meanwhile, Hong Da-bin, who debuted in 2017, is well known under the name DPR LIVE. After parting ways with her former agency, Dream Perfect Gym, in October last year, she began working under her real name, Hong Da-bin. Currently, he has established a home in CTYL, a one-man agency.
Hello, this is CTYL.

A complaint was filed for reasons such as ‘non-delivery of materials’.
Our company and the artist recognize the seriousness of this incident and are taking legal action to protect the rights of our artist.

Below is the full text of RIZIM’s position:
hello.
This is Re-Zim International Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Re-Zim).
Regarding CTYL's official position today, Lijim's position is revealed as follows.
In October 2017, Lee Gym signed an exclusive management contract with Dream Perfect Gym Co., Ltd., to which DPR members belong. Until September 2022, monthly profits were distributed to Scott Yunho Kim, who was the CEO of Dream Perfect Gym Co., Ltd. at the time, through a fair and transparent process. (For reference, the company's profit sharing rate is less than half of the artist's profit sharing rate) The process of distributing the settlement money that Mr. Scott Yunho Kim received from Lizim with other members was thoroughly based on private discussions between members, and Lizim had no knowledge of this. It's not possible and it's not related.
In relation to the 2022 World Tour, Lijim has made transparent and accurate settlements to Dabin Hong, and has already provided all related materials several times at CTYL's request. Proof of this will be clearly revealed by judicial authorities.
thank you
