An entertainment label sentenced to pay legal dues for a trainee who beat up another trainee

On the 21st, a well-known entertainment label was sentenced to pay 5,000,000 KRW (4,820 USD) for its celebrity.

Its former label trainee 'A' (17) filed a lawsuit against the label and its celebrity 'B' because B assaulted A. A signed with the label in May 2012, and was preparing to debut along with other label trainees, including B. However, B assaulted A because A started to date another trainee. The label had forbidden dating for the trainees, but the court upheld that the label represented B as his employer and has responsibility for him.

The court said, "In the contract, the label is clearly responsible for the artist's directing responsibilities. The label artists were strictly following the label's rules, such as not dating the opposite sex. Since the trainees came to practice and left according to the label's schedule, the label is responsible. Since B assaulted A, it is considered a conduct of business."

The court also dismissed the label's case against A demanding the contract money and investment money back under the reasoning that a dating ban breaks various society rules.

'B' has been reported as part of a 6-membered group who debuted last year in 2013. 'A' left the label before the group debuted.
