Singer Younha has terminated her contract with C9 Entertainment after 14 years and has filed a lawsuit for settlement payments.
On October 26, Younha's legal representative, Ilro Law Firm, stated that they demanded corrections regarding unpaid settlement issues, but no action was taken, leading to the termination notice in September.
The termination took effect on September 14, and according to Younha's team, C9 acknowledged this through official correspondence. Younha first signed with C9 in 2012 and renewed her contract last year.
Younha has filed a lawsuit to claim the unpaid settlement and plans to resolve other issues through legal procedures. According to Star News, on October 6, she filed a lawsuit seeking confirmation of the non-existence of the contract and requested a provisional injunction to suspend its effects. The amount in question is reported to be approximately 950 million won.
However, the current settlement amount is not finalized, and there are disputes regarding the calculation method. Younha's team noted that they have not received substantial documentation supporting the settlement statement provided by the agency.
C9 stated that they are verifying the disputed matters regarding the settlement lawsuit through legal procedures and will respect the court's final judgment, fulfilling their necessary obligations diligently.
The legal representative requested that speculation regarding other C9 artists and staff be avoided, emphasizing that they are unrelated to this matter, and confirmed that Younha will continue her music activities. In a statement, Younha expressed gratitude to her fans for their patience and promised to repay them with good music and performances.
