Polaris Entertainment responded to Clara's civil suit to nullify her contract with the agency due to alleged sexual harassment by revealing that they previously pressed charges against the actress prior to her own lawsuit for breach of contract. They also mentioned that Clara had admitted to them, before she filed the lawsuit, that she had made up the claims about sexual harassment because she wanted them to cancel her contract two months into signing.

The new statement read,
"Following the signing of our contract last year, Clara repeatedly violated the contract so we sought to rectify [the situation], but she didn't respond so we sent her multiple documented notices [certification of contents]. When we didn't grant her request to cancel the contract, she threatened us with accusation of sexual harassment, and boldy filed her lawsuit. After we pressed charges first, she went and filed a civil suit against us.
Clara has already been sued and went under investigation by the authorities and her father Lee Seung Kyu is also currently under investigation as an accomplice. If Clara's [sexual harassment] claims are true, it is common sense that she files a criminal suit, not a civil suit. But because she can be charged for lying in court in a criminal suit, she opted for a civil suit against us. The claim that she felt sexual humiliation is totally not true, and it is an abusive attack against the agency chairman who places importance on honor.
The agency reps had previously requested for Clara to either fulfill her contract or pay the penalty for breaching the contract. After she received this notice from us, she said that she wanted us to terminate the contract on the term that she was sexually harassed and that if we do not comply with her demands, she will report us to the police.
We told Clara to officially apologize for threatening us with that false claim, and Clara visited the agency [office] and said that everything about the claim of sexual harassment was not true and she had made them up to cancel the contract, as she asked for forgiveness in tears.
In sincere concern for Clara's future and activities, we did not reveal any of this to the public beforehand and hoped that Clara would officially apologize and continue on with her activities as normal, but she then went and filed the lawsuit and the contents of the lawsuit became known to the public. So, because of this, we regrettably have no choice but to reveal the truth about the matter to protect the image of the agency and its other celebrities."
