Actress Song Ji-hyo won the lawsuit over unpaid settlements against her former agency 

On November 22nd, the Seoul Central District Court’s Civil Agreement Division 45 (Chief Judge Kim Kyung-soo) announced that Song Ji-hyo won against Uzurocks Entertainment.

The court ruled that Uzurocks should pay Song Ji-hyo 984 million won in unpaid settlements and delayed interests. In addition, the company must also bear the lawsuit cost.

Since the agency did not respond,  the court concluded the lawsuit without any arguments. According to the Civil Procedure Act, the judgment will be issued if responses are not submitted within 30 days.
