Goo Hye Sun loses Lawsuit against her former agency over Unpaid Fees

AKP STAFF

Actress Goo Hye Sun (39) lost her lawsuit against her former agency over unpaid appearance fees and more, even in the second trial.

On February 8, the Seoul High Court Civil Division 5 upheld the dismissal of Goo Hye Sun's claim for damages of over 170 million KRW (127,586 USD) against her former agency, HB Entertainment, upholding the first trial's decision.

However, the court did not provide a detailed explanation for its ruling.

In 2019, Goo Hye Sun voiced her dissatisfaction with HB Entertainment's business handling, particularly their apparent bias towards her ex-husband Ahn Jae Hyun (age 36), both before and after their divorce. This led her to terminate their exclusive contract in August of the same year.

The dispute between Goo Hye Sun and HB Entertainment was eventually settled through arbitration at the Korean Commercial Arbitration Board. As part of the resolution, instead of terminating the exclusive contract outright, Goo Hye Sun agreed to pay the agency 35 million won for expenses related to building content for her YouTube channel.

Following this payment, Goo Hye Sun initiated legal action, seeking compensation for YouTube channel appearance fees, editing expenses, music usage fees, and advertising revenue. However, the first trial did not rule in her favor on these claims.
