LEE SEUNG HWAN files lawsuit against Gumi mayor for ”forced gag pledge”

Singer LEE SEUNG HWAN has decided to file a constitutional petition following his lawsuit against Gumi Mayor Kim Jang-hok-mi for damages.
On the 29th, lawyer Lim Jae-seong of the law firm Hamar said, "The mayor of Gumi forced Lee Seung Hwan
"This is to confirm that the act of demanding the written pledge is unconstitutional," he said, adding that he plans to file a constitutional lawsuit within the next month, "so that public authorities cannot again censor and silence the thoughts of people performing on stage."
Lee Seung Hwan was scheduled to hold his 35th anniversary concert "Heaven" at the Gumi Culture and Arts Center main hall on the 25th of this month, but Gumi City announced on the 23rd, two days before, that a dispute had occurred between a conservative right-wing group and the audience.

They were required to sign a pledge stating that they would "refrain from making any statements or actions that would be misleading or misleading in any way" and to submit it by the 22nd, and they made it clear that if they failed to comply with this, "the agreement may be cancelled in accordance with the regulations."
The mayor of Gumi later canceled the petition. He continued, "This is an infringement of the freedom of conscience and general freedom of action by public power," and "I demanded that people not make statements or take actions that could cause political misunderstandings.
In essence, this violated Lee Seung Hwan's personal rights. Above all, the unilateral cancellation of a performance for which about 1,000 people had purchased tickets two days before the show's launch has undermined freedom of expression and artistic freedom."
Prior to this, Lee Seung Hwan filed a lawsuit against Mayor Kim for damages. He expressed his regret and said, "I cannot accept any legal or economic responsibility for the unilateral and unjust cancellation."
This should come from the people who participated in this decision, not through Oichi's tax money."
