Singer Eun Ga-eun has won a lawsuit to suspend the validity of her exclusive contract with her former agency, TSM Entertainment.

The 21st Civil Agreement Division of the Seoul Western District Court explained on the 19th in the injunction lawsuit to suspend the validity of Eun Ga-eun‘s exclusive contract filed by her former agency and TSM Entertainment, “It is difficult to believe that TSM Entertainment violated the settlement obligations stipulated in the exclusive contract for this case and excessively settled expenses, or faithfully performed its settlement obligations, so there is considerable room to see that the relationship of trust between TSM Entertainment and Eun Ga-eun has been broken.”

The court then ruled, “The exclusive contract and subsidiary agreement signed between the plaintiff and the defendant in May 2020 are suspended,” and “The defendant shall also bear all litigation costs.”

Last December, Eun Ga Eun filed an injunction to suspend her exclusive contract with TSM Entertainment due to non-payment of settlement money, breach of trust, and dereliction of duty.

In response to Eun Ga Eun’s claims, TSM Entertainment stated, “Regarding the agency‘s claims of non-payment of settlement money, we have never paid even a single penny less in settlement money,” and “As a result of the recent settlement check, we have confirmed that the agency overpaid some parts, and we have faithfully supported Eun Ga Eun when she requested loans and other fees in addition to the settlement money.”

Eun Ga Eun is currently working independently and will be getting married to singer Park Hyun Ho in April.
