Park Yoo-chun “Please let me do domestic TV shows and entertainment activities”… The court’s dismissal

Singer-actor Park Yoo-chun applied to cancel the court’s temporary ban from domestic broadcasting and entertainment activities, but it was not accepted.

According to the legal community, the Seoul Central District Court’s Civil Agreement Department No.50 (Chief Judge Song Kyung-geun) rejected Park’s application for “cancellation of the injunction against appearing on TV shows and entertainment activities” on Sep 27th.

Yesperar, the agency that was delegated Park’s exclusive management authority, filed an injunction with the court in August last year, claiming that Park violated his exclusive contract and promoted activities with a third party.

The court accepted Yesperar’s application and ordered, “Until the final judgment of the lawsuit is made, Park Yoo-chun is not allowed to carry out entertainment activities such as producing albums and videos, filming advertisements, promotions, appearing on TV, etc.”

Afterwards, instead of filing a new lawsuit, Yesperar added a request to ban Park from appearing on TV shows and entertainment activities to the damage suit against Park that was in progress in the same court.

In response, Park’s side applied to the court to cancel the injunction decision, saying that such a method was not legal and that Yesperar did not fulfill the court’s order to file a lawsuit on the merits within the time limit.

However, the court interpreted, “The claim for damages due to Park’s violation of his exclusive contract and the request for prohibition of broadcast appearances and entertainment activities are the same basis. The change in the purpose of Yesperar’s claim can be seen as filing a lawsuit on the merits of the injunction decision.”

The court added, “There is no reason to consider that the change in the claim is inappropriate or constitutes abuse of right. It is not recognized as a reason for cancellation due to violation of the complaint order.”

Earlier in 2019, Park Yoo-chun was prosecuted for using methamphetamine with ex-girlfriend Hwang Ha-na. He was sentenced to 10 months in prison and 2 years of probation. Park Yoo-chun once announced his retirement, but then still returned to the entertainment industry.

He was scheduled to return to the screen for the first time in 5 years with the movie “On the Edge”, which will be released next month, but it seems that the court’s decision today will put the brakes on it.
