[[AKP] FTC starts investigation into whether there was unfair practice by SM Entertainment based on Noh Min Woo's claims

[Moon Jellyfish]

The legal troubles for SM Entertainment continue.  Previously, actor and former TRAX member, Noh Min Woo, claimed he had once been a victim of the slave contract under SM Entertainment and subsequent blacklisting from promotions after leaving the agency.

 

Now, the Fair Trade Commission (FTC) has begun its investigation into the suspicion of unfair corporate practices submitted by Noh Min Woo against SM Entertainment.  The FTC revealed on June 29 that Noh Min Woo recently appeared at the FTC to testify against SM regarding their dispute and to lay out his opinions on the situation. Afterwards, a rep from SM gave the other side's stance.

 

Noh Min Woo's legal reps once again asserted, "Before Noh Min Woo debuted, SM formed a 17-year exclusive contract after a one-sided decision for extension. Even after leaving SM afterwards, he started independent promotions, but all broadcasting companies blocked Noh Min Woo's appearances." 

 

Stay tuned for updates.

10 years, 100 years. It doesn't make a difference, people always want to gain back from past oppression. You should know that.

[Truth_hurts]

Well it's about damn time FTC starts investigating.

 

What took them so long?

[Angel_Nessa]

FTC should investigate and take action against this block of former idols from SM.

[Thay]

Let's see.The 17 years long contract is a fact tho.

[Serechan]

i hope that kpop will become a better environment for the idols. its not fair for idol to be block like that. 

[Hahahihi]

Wow 17 year contract?! ._.

I wonder if Mr. Lee soo man has anything to do with it or maybe Mr. Kim young min ??

[camelliabloom]

Hopefully this controversy will influence SM to let Jay and Jungmo out of the dungeon and into the studio...

[Witch Nose]

God this guy wants the monies badly

[jeong jaehyuns boyfriend]

SM is so corrupt its not even funny

 

how many more artists need to file lawsuits before they actually start getting their shit together?

[Unafraid]

That contract is too fucking long.

[hipployta]

The last year of people rebelling against SM must have gave him courage...also JYJ get a lot of positive press for surviving SM so that could be a benefit

[lepidoptery]

... but he's had appearances, so this should be an easy win for SM.
