Block B addresses rumors about a lawsuit with a Japanese agency

Just yesterday, Block B had to respond to the media about adult actress Lee Yoo Rin's desire to have a one-night stand with member Jaehyo. Today, they had to respond to a media outlet coverage stating that the boys and their agency Seven Seasons were being sued by Japanese entertainment agency Be Japan for defaulting on an obligation.

The media outlet also claimed that Be Japan had raised a lawsuit against Block B's previous agency, which they said was allegedly named Very Good Entertainment.

Supposedly, earlier this year, Be Japan was introduced to a representative of Very Good Entertainment and they made a contract for a performance in Japan. Be Japan then passed over 215 million won (~ $200,000 USD). However, Very Good did not provide the performance schedule and became liable for the money.

Block B's current agency Seven Seasons addressed this issue on the 22nd:

"Hello. This is Seven Seasons.

Seven Seasons is delivering their official stance in relation to the news release distributed on the 22nd about Be Japan. Firstly, Block B has no relations with a company called Be Japan or Very Good Entertainment. Secondly, we have not received lawsuit claims from Be Japan or any of that sort at the present time.

In addition, as everyone very well knows, Block B's previous agency was not Very Good Entertainment but Stardom Entertainment . . . Block B never had a lawsuit problem in relation to performing in Japan. As everything, including authority, was legitimately transferred to Seven Seasons from the previous agency Stardom, Very Good Entertainment or any other agency is not relevant at all.

Again, Seven Seasons and Block B has nothing to do with this affair. If at a later time, Seven Seasons and Block B keep getting referred to in relation to a problem with Be Japan and Very Good Entertainment, we plan to firmly undergo a legal procedure in case of damage to the artists' image and honor."
