On December 21st, the Seoul Central District Court ruled in favor of the plaintiff, Super Junior's Hankyung, in the lawsuit he filed against his agency, SM Entertainment. The Department of Justice stated, "All three contracts - from the January 2003 contract, the altered contract from February 2007, and the affiliated contract from December 2007 - do not exist." Hankyung had filed a lawsuit against SM Entertainment in December of 2009 claiming, "I cannot maintain an unjust contract." Meanwhile, an SM Entertainment representative spoke with MyDaily in the aftermath of the decision and stated, "We cannot accept the result. We will file an immediate appeal to reverse the decision."
