According to 'Gold Mark', their endorsement contract with Ha Ji Won included the actress receiving 30% of the company's stocks while in return, she would allow her name, brand, visuals, voice, and more to be used to endorse cosmetic products from 'Gold Mark'. However, the actress not only allegedly failed to uphold her side of the endorsement deal, she also filed a lawsuit against 'Gold Mark' in July of 2016 for cancellation of the endorsement contract as well as prohibiting the company from using her brand under her personal rights.

In response to the lawsuit, Ha Ji Won's label Sun and Moon Entertainment has stated that they would be gathering information about the case before coming forward with an official statement.
