A few days ago, South Korean media reported an explosive news, the news content pointed out that the girl's generation idol Jessica (Jessica) was sued by a Chinese brokerage company and claimed 2 billion won (equivalent to about 12 million yuan). After seeing this news, netizens all showed shocked faces. They were active in the entertainment circle. Why did Jessica Cheng be sued by the Chinese company?
According to relevant sources, Zheng Xiuyan signed a contract with Chinese economic companies (China Guizhou Xinpai Company and Haining Xinpai Company) in 2016, and the exclusive agency obtained Zheng Xiuyan's exclusive agency rights in China. In other words, after signing the contract, Jessica will be responsible for all activities in the Mainland by the Chinese brokerage company.
In 2016, Zheng Soo-yeon's activities in China were very smooth. Although she left the girl’s generation, she was still very popular in China, including many days of happy variety shows. The response is very good. In addition, Zheng Xiuyan also starred in the Chinese movie "That Crazy Little Thing Is Love" with William Chan, Wu Xin and others. Everything went well and the agency also cooperated with the agency according to the contract.
However, because of international relations, the "Korean Restriction Order" was introduced. The development of Korean artists in China is gradually hindered. Korean stars can no longer participate in events or appear in shows, movies, TV series and Chinese in China. One reason for the brokerage company's interruption of cooperation.
However, everyone may not know that Jung Soo-yeon is a Korean American, so her activities in China can continue in principle, but from the current point of view Jung Soo-yeon has almost no activities in China since the promulgation of the Korean order. Samuel, another Korean American artist, is in normal activities. Meetups and other commercial performances are normally approved.
Therefore, the Chinese brokerage company filed an arbitration application to the court on the grounds of Jessica's failure to perform the contract, requesting Jessica to refund the authorization fee, consulting fee and payment of liquidated damages and undistributed income. In fact, this lawsuit started at the end of 2017, but the Korean media did not expose it. At present, Jung Soo-yeon has filed the final appeal to the South Korean Supreme Court, but the possibility of winning the case is not very high. It is very likely that the Chinese company will need to compensate 2 billion won.
Since her resignation in 2015, Jung Soo-yeon has been turbulent, because the disputes over her withdrawal have been squeezed out by many girls’ generation fans, and she has been accused of leaving the team privately regardless of the development of the group. After that, personal development began to go smoothly and started personal activities. Now he is caught in a lawsuit. It can be said that the way forward is still unknown. However, with the accumulation of Jessica's activities for so many years, 12 million should not be considered a large number, but the reputation will still be affected more or less. After all, the spirit of contract is still very important to the star.
