Yoo Joong-won's side claimed that the failure to sign a contract with POCKETDOL STUDIO (hereinafter referred to as POCKETDOL) was not due to the revenue sharing ratio.
On the 17th, Yoo Joon Eun's parents said about the failure to reach a contract with POCKETDOL, ``The reason the contract was not concluded was due to profit reasons.''
It's not because of the distribution rate. In the end, POCKETDOL and Yoo Jun Won agreed to a 5:5 revenue sharing ratio like other Debut Teams, but the
The relationship of trust has collapsed due to CKETDOL's lack of sincerity, explanations that are difficult to understand, and inconsistent positions." Below is the full statement of Yoo Jun Won's side.
After August 23rd, it was an unbearable time for Joong Won and everyone around him. The trial begins today (10/17) in court, but many misunderstandings and lies will be corrected.
We would like to inform you of Yoo Jun Won's position, hoping that he will be able to do so. The reason the deal wasn't signed wasn't because of the revenue share. Finally POCKETDOL and Yoo Ji
The Yoongwon side agreed to a 5:5 revenue sharing ratio like other Debut Teams, but in the process of concluding the Exclusive Contract and attached agreements, POCKETDOL's lack of sincerity and explanations that were difficult to understand.
, trust was broken due to inconsistent positions. POCKETDOL revealed that the reason why Junwon was unable to debut with Debut Team was due to unreasonable demands for revenue sharing.
I made it clear. What is impossible is that we offered FANTASYBOYS members the same revenue distribution as agency 5 and member 5, but we were the only members of the group who requested a higher share.
He announced to the media that he had left the group, and this message quickly spread through numerous media outlets and became an established fact. However, this is never the case. Initially, it was proposed to Joong Won.
The content revenue share shown was for firm 8:member2. Also, we did not propose the contract details to all members at the same time.
Joong Won was an individual trainee who participated in 'Shonen Fantasy' without a management office. When the Debut Team was decided on June 8th
The final members included not only individual trainees like Junwon, but also members who had previously signed exclusive contracts with POCKETDOL and members from other agencies.
During June, while promoting their pre-debut music program, POCKETDOL did not make any proposal regarding the specific content of the contract, so we requested a contract first. and June
It wasn't until the 30th that I received a management contract. According to this agreement, POCKETDOL will share the content revenue as Office 8: member 2.
I suggested it. Additionally, the attached agreement included a priority deduction of more than 55 million won (approximately 6 million yen) per month in personnel expenses for managers and other expenses.
The first meeting to decide on the terms of the contract finally took place on July 11th. During the interview that day, he said, ``Originally, the POCKETDOL Exclusive Contract included the manager's personnel expenses.
I heard that there is no such thing. In that case, the clause in the attached agreement that states that 55 million won per month will be deducted from labor costs applies only to us, but I feel that this is unfair.
I did. I also heard from other Debut Team trainees that the content revenue sharing ratio in the POCKETDOL Exclusive Contract was 7:3, unlike Joong Won's.
I also wondered why the contract details were different. Also, when I asked POCKETDOL if they were planning to do another audition program next year, I heard that there was a possibility, which is a cause for concern.
was. This is because I thought that there was a possibility that Joong Won and FANTASY BOYS would only receive support from the agency for one year.
I trusted the agency completely and began interviews and negotiations to conclude a contract, but this
One thing or two after another, my trust began to waver. Concerns and protests over the discriminatory contract conditions presented depending on the presence or absence of the management office.
There was a reason why I requested that the location be changed to 4. But I didn't think this would actually be accepted. In an email exchanged on July 19th, we explained that this revenue sharing ratio is our problem.
You can make it clear that this is what you requested in the next submission, and confirm that the agency is well aware of what you have requested. After that, due to the common requests of many members, the revenue sharing ratio was
On July 26th, final arrangements were made between the office and members in a 5:5 ratio, and we did not object to this. Therefore, POCKETDOL says that our unreasonable demands are the reason for the contract breakdown.
Le's claims are a clear lie. POCKETDOL forced us to pay unreasonable fixed costs, pressured us to sign the contract and demanded that we pay actual costs instead of fixed costs, and the agency demanded
I told him several times that he could leave the group if he couldn't accept my request. The second contract interview was held on July 27th. Firms are clearly burdened with fixed costs such as manager personnel costs.
It has been made clear that the appendix agreement cannot be amended. At the same time, he said that if Joong-won signs first, the other girls will also sign as well, so they set a deadline to make a decision and sign contracts quickly.
They started pressuring us to sign a contract. He appealed that he wanted to make a decision after consulting with other parents, but officials at the agency asked, ``Why do we have to do this?''
I couldn't get in. We believe that we must naturally bear the direct costs incurred by our members. However, the personnel expenses stipulated in the attached agreement are completely different in nature.
Masu. POCKETDOL explained that this is a ``cost incurred because it is an audition program.'' This is to allocate as much of the production costs as possible after spending a lot of money on program production.
said. However, it is difficult to accept based on common sense that the members selected for the Debut Team will have to bear the production costs of programs that have already been broadcast as fixed costs over the next five years.
It was. As an alternative to this, we requested that the actual labor costs used instead of fixed costs be reimbursed at actual cost.
However, instead of paying the actual expenses, POCKETDOL said, ``Expenses such as golf entertainment expenses, public relations/PR expenses, separate personnel expenses for the accounting team, and overtime allowance for staff.''
"This could cause the amount to increase even more than the fixed costs," he said. At the same time, I was not satisfied with the fixed cost settlement method and accepted POCKETDOL's proposal.
We have notified them twice that if they are unable to do so, there is no need to proceed with the contract. We were under so much pressure that our hearts were hurting and our hands were shaking.
In addition, on August 1st, Chairman Kim Kwang-soo asked only the members of the Debut Team, including Jun-won, who was practicing at his office, to pay the actual expenses.
I heard over the phone that he called them into his room and told them the same thing over and over again, and then told them to leave if they didn't agree. Joong Won is under a lot of stress due to this and has to pay for entertainment that is difficult to accept.
, I felt that it would be difficult to accept the terms of payment of actual expenses, including public relations expenses and personnel expenses. My remaining trust in the agency has been completely destroyed, and I am no longer able to proceed with the contract with confidence.
The situation has come to an end. After the notice that the contract had been terminated, there were talks to renegotiate, but the trust that had once been broken could not be restored. *I'd like to say it again -
We have never asked for more revenue citing the reason that Joong Won was chosen as number one. -
It was the agency that first told them that it was okay for them to leave the group, and both parties acknowledged the circumstances that made it difficult to move forward with the contract.
After finding out about the incident, they discussed the date and came out of the dormitory, so the claim that Joong-won left the group without permission is not true. -
Only the individual trainees received the draft contract first, and ``as determined by Joong Won, other trainees will receive the draft contract first.
I felt an enormous burden and psychological pressure from the agency's attitude of urging members to sign their seals, saying, ``Members will proceed in the same way.'' -
Therefore, we proactively present alternatives (actual cost settlement) in response to unfair contract conditions (fixed costs).
We approached the negotiations in good faith, but due to the company's attitude of offering even more unfair terms, we completely lost trust and had no choice but to abandon the contract.
I sincerely hoped and worked hard to conclude a normal contract based on the standard contract through coordination with the agency, but this result did not result.
That's a shame. I hope that we can move forward on a better path for our mutual future rather than a debilitating conflict. Finally, despite all the misunderstandings and speculations, Junwon remains unwavering.
Thank you to everyone who believes in and supports us.
