Cosmetics brand 'Enprani' has announced that they will be canceling their contract with singer Son Dambi in addition to suing her for $1 million USD due to a breach of contract. On August 24th, the Seoul Central District Court revealed that 'Enprani' had filed a lawsuit demanding $1 million USD for compensation in damages, as Son Dambi and Pledis Entertainment had breached their contract by endorsing 'ELCA' and 'MAC'. The head manager of 'Enprani' stated, "On October 14th, Son Dambi signed an exclusive contract with our company with a clause that prohibited her from working with other competing companies and/or other cosmetics advertisements and events. However, she breached the contract by modeling for 'MAC' cosmetics beginning May 24th." They continued, "'MAC' and 'ELCA' have been using Son Dambi as if she was their own model by including her in magazines, internet advertisements, and all other press releases with regards to their products." 'Enprani' added, "Her agency made an excuse stating that 'ELCA' had used her portrait rights without permission for their advertisement and press releases. However, the fact that she promoted and advertised their products while still under contract with us can only be regarded as a breach of contract." 'Enprani' is demanding $840,000 USD (double the amount of $420,000 they paid to Son Dambi and Pledis) on top of an additional $169,400 USD for production expenses used on her advertisements. The company filed an additional claim against 'ELCA' that's estimated to be $300,000 USD. Source + Photos: Money Today via Naver
