Lee Ha-neul, Joo Bi-train counter-sues “Fraud, embezzlement, etc.… Additional charges of insult planned” [Full text]

DJ DOC’s Lee Ha-neul has filed a countersuit against rapper Joobie Train and Mr.Lee, the CEO of his agency Basecamp Studio.

On the 20th, Funky Town, Lee Ha-neul’s agency, released an official statement, claiming, “While working at Funky Town, Juvi Train and his agency’s CEO, Ms.Lee, have continuously committed acts that disrupt the company’s business, including fraud, embezzlement, and obstruction of business.”

In so doing, “despite their actions, they took advantage of ‘artist Lee Ha-neul’s goodwill ‘in mediating with the company for an amicable resignation, and presented the company with unacceptable financial resignation conditions.The company could not accept this and immediately fired them,” the statement continued.”Lee and Juvi Train, who were resentful, filed an application for relief from unfair dismissal, citing procedural issues, and at the same time fabricated evidence by piecing together various documents to report them to the Ministry of Labor for workplace bullying,” it explained.

Lee Ha-neul’s side raised their voices, saying, “Unfortunately, during the unfair dismissal relief review, the unfairness of their actions was not judged at all in the review content, and only a procedural defect was judged, so the unfair dismissal relief application was accepted.However, fortunately, we were able to secure the original and rebuttal materials regarding the workplace bullying, so it was acknowledged that all the evidence they submitted was fabricated, and it was dismissed.Among these behaviors that do not hesitate to use the means and methods, including fabricating evidence, for their own benefit, the most unforgivable part is that they are still slandering and attacking artist Lee Ha-neul, who tried to protect them until the end, in the same way.”

They pointed out that “since immediately after I left the company, they have been continuing to mentally and socially harass artist Lee Ha-neul by filing abusive lawsuits against him, perhaps because they were afraid that their illegal activities would be discovered if the issues with the company were made public.” They continued, “As a public figure, artist Lee Ha-neul has actively explained their behavior through live broadcasts and other means, but these people, just like in the workplace bullying incident, are continuing to file lawsuits by extracting and distorting only some of his statements and saying, ‘Let’s just catch one of you.’”

In addition, they stated, “Currently, artist Lee Ha-neul has received a total of 4 lawsuits sporadically from different investigative agencies, and among them, regarding the claim that artist Lee Ha-neul defamed Juvi Train, the case was acquitted and not prosecuted, but is currently under reinvestigation due to the other party’s objection.”

Lee Ha-neul’s side stated, “Funky Town is currently suing Juvi Train and his agency’s CEO, Mr.Lee, for fraud, embezzlement, destruction of electronic records, obstruction of business, and obstruction of business by hierarchy, and we plan to additionally sue them for defamation, intimidation, and insult by spreading false information.” They continued, “Funky Town believes that this matter is not a simple conflict, but an act intended to repeatedly and repeatedly damage the artist’s reputation over the long term.Funky Town will not hesitate to take all legal action to protect the rights and interests of our artists, and we will continue to deal resolutely with groundless slander and false claims.” They concluded their letter by asking the public to “please not be misled by inflammatory claims that are unrelated to the facts.”

Meanwhile, Joobitrain and Mr.Lee sued Lee Ha-neul for defamation by spreading false information in June of last year.They claimed that Lee Ha-neul falsely framed them as habitual drug offenders and sent a certified letter threatening to sue them at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, claiming that they had “tested negative for drugs.” At the time, Lee Ha-neul’s side refuted the claims, saying, “Lee Ha-neul and Funky Town have never sent a certified letter, and regarding the allegations of marijuana smoking and sexual crimes, we simply requested the employee to confirm the facts from the company’s perspective.”

〈Lee Ha-neul’s agency Funky Town’s statement〉

Funky Town, the agency, expresses serious concerns about the ongoing defamation of artist Lee Ha-neul by some individuals and groups recently spreading false information, and would like to reveal the circumstances and our official position as follows.

While working at Funkytown, Juvitrain and his agency’s CEO, Ms.Lee, continued to commit acts that disrupted the company’s business, including illegal acts such as fraud, embezzlement, and obstruction of business.

Despite their actions, they took advantage of the ‘goodwill of artist Lee Ha-neul’ who had mediated with the company to have them resign amicably, and presented unacceptable financial terms for their resignation to the company.The company, unable to accept these terms, immediately fired them.

Lee OO and Juvitrain, who harbored resentment about this, filed an application for relief from unfair dismissal, citing procedural issues as an issue with the company, and at the same time, fabricated evidence by piecing together various documents and reported it to the Ministry of Labor for workplace bullying.

Unfortunately, during the unfair dismissal relief review, the unfairness of their actions was not judged at all in the review content, and only a procedural defect was judged, so the unfair dismissal relief application was approved.However, fortunately, regarding the workplace bullying, we were able to secure the original and rebuttal materials, so it was recognized that all the evidence they submitted was fabricated, and the application was dismissed.

Among the behaviors of these people who do not hesitate to use any means necessary, including fabricating evidence, for their own benefit, the most unforgivable part is that they are still slandering and attacking artist Lee Ha-neul, who tried to protect them until the end, in the same way.

Since immediately after leaving the company, they have continued to harass artists Lee Ha-neul mentally and socially, including by filing abusive lawsuits against him, perhaps because they were afraid that their illegal activities would be discovered if the issues with the company were made public.

Artist Lee Ha-neul has been actively clarifying their behavior through live broadcasts as a public figure, but just like in the workplace bullying incident, they are continuing to file lawsuits by extracting and distorting only some of his statements and saying, “Just catch one.”

Currently, artist Lee Ha-neul has received a total of 4 lawsuits sporadically from different investigative agencies, and among them, regarding the claim that artist Lee Ha-neul defamed Juvi Train, the case was acquitted and not prosecuted, but is currently under reinvestigation due to an objection from the other party.

Funkytown is currently suing Juvitrain and his agency’s CEO, Ms.Lee, for fraud, embezzlement, destruction of electronic records, obstruction of business, and obstruction of business by hierarchy, and plans to additionally sue them for defamation, intimidation, and insult, among other charges.

Funky Town believes that this matter is not a simple conflict, but rather an act carried out with the intent to repeatedly and habitually damage the artist’s reputation.Funky Town will not hesitate to take all legal action to protect the rights and interests of its artists, and will continue to deal resolutely with groundless slander and false claims.

I ask the public not to be misled by sensational claims that are unrelated to the facts.

thank you
