Singer Hwang Young-woong, who left the broadcasting industry due to school violence controversy, has become embroiled in a performance rights dispute.
Hwang Young-woong's legal representative, the Law Office of Do-yak, stated on the official fan cafe on the 24th, "Reports that Hwang Young-woong is involved in a performance rights dispute are completely false."
They continued, "We plan to respond through official procedures," and added, "The scheduled showcase is expected to proceed."
On the 24th, a media outlet reported that A Planning Company, which holds the performance rights for Hwang Young-woong, filed a request for a preliminary injunction to prohibit his performance. According to the report, A Planning Company expressed disbelief, stating, "Hwang Young-woong's side said they would proceed with a third planning company, excluding A Planning Company. Hwang Young-woong's side emphasizes that it is a showcase, not a concert. Who would call a performance held for two days at a gymnastics stadium a showcase instead of a concert?"
Hwang Young-woong will hold a new album release showcase at the Olympic Park Gymnastics Arena in Songpa-gu, Seoul, on February 8-9.
Hwang Young-woong is a contestant from the MBN competition program 'Burning Trotman' and left the show amid allegations of school violence.
