Trot Singer Jin Hae-sung Releases New Album 'No Wonder' Amid Legal Defeat in School Violence Case

Trot singer Jin Hae-sung is set to release his new album 'No Wonder' despite losing both civil and criminal lawsuits related to school violence allegations.

Jin Hae-sung will unveil his new album 'No Wonder' on October 25 at 6 PM via online music platforms. The album features seven tracks and marks his first release in three months since his mini-album '愛人 (One's Love)' in August. The title track, '그럼 그렇지,' expresses the desire for unwavering support amidst the passage of time.

Recently, the Seoul Central District Court's 20th Civil Division, led by Judge Lee Se-ra, ruled against Jin Hae-sung and his agency, KDH Entertainment, in a 10 million won damages lawsuit against the whistleblower, identified as A. In the criminal case, Jin Hae-sung's defamation charges against A were dismissed.

Jin Hae-sung's agency had previously denied the school violence allegations. However, the court sided with the whistleblower, stating that the claims of Jin Hae-sung's involvement in school violence were not false. The court cited detailed testimonies about the nature and circumstances of the alleged incidents.

Jin Hae-sung has not appealed the decision, making the ruling final. While he respects the court's decision, he expressed disappointment with the outcome.
