JYP responds to ``TWICE'' NAYEON's mother's debt default lawsuit, ``Unrelated to activities...Legal response for defamation''

Amidst the fact that South Korean girl group TWICE's NAYEON won a default lawsuit filed by their mother, JYP announced their official stance that they would take legal action against defamation.
Announced. On the 19th, JYP Entertainment told Herald POP, ``This matter has already been concluded and the verdict has been finalized, and it has nothing to do with the artist's entertainment activities, so I have no particular words to say.
``However, in the future, we will take firm legal action against any incidents that defame or insult artists with speculative statements.''
Prior to this, Mr. A, NAYEON's mother's former lover, returned the amount of 600 million won (approximately 60 million yen) that NAYEON had borrowed.
He filed a lawsuit to get the case resolved, but lost the case. Although the court acknowledged the fact that Mr. A sent more than 600 million won to NAYEON over 12 years, it said there was no evidence to recognize this as a loan.
saw. The court stated, ``Mr. A is claiming that he ``expected'' NAYEON to return the money once he debuts as a singer, and it is difficult to view the entire amount paid as a loan.''
However, it was determined that the promise of repayment was not sufficient to be considered true. On the other hand, the group ``TWICE'' to which NAYEON belongs is currently holding a large-scale 5th world tour with 44 dates in 25 cities around the world.
