Jang Dong-min and his wife, YouTube’s producers, have a profit dispute… Notice of court battle [소셜iN]

The conflict between comedian Dong-min Jang’s father, Gwang-soon Jang, and the production team who ran his YouTube channel came to the fore.

On the 9th, Jang Gwang-soon’s YouTube channel ‘That’s It’ was posted on ‘Hello. This is PD Kim. A video titled ‘I’ll tell you the facts about it’ was posted.

In the video, Kim, the producer of ‘That’s Close’, said, “I suffered a lot of damage from the one-sided broadcast of Jang Jang.

Earlier, on the 6th, Jang Gwang-soon said on the ‘Changjang’s Fishing Village’s Diary’ channel, “I came here without knowing how much profit the YouTube company gives,” and Kim unilaterally operated the YouTube channel. Afterwards, he said that Mr. Kim didn’t want to (run YouTube) and asked for how much to take the video.”

In response to this claim, Mr. Kim said, “I got a phone call from the chief Jang in around February 2019. At that time, he was in a difficult situation with life after bankruptcy. Jang wanted to appear on TV, but it was impossible, so he suggested that we try YouTube. The profit distribution is 5 to 5. In the beginning, there was no profit for the first 10 months, and the cost of production was paid by me and others who appeared at the time.

Kim explained, “After that, I paid the money to the general manager after accurately setting the money for the 26 months that the profits were generated.

Kim said that he rewritten the profit sharing contract because of Jang Gwang-sun’s change of heart. “Suddenly, around November of last year, Jang-jang ignored the existing contract and unilaterally demanded 70% for himself and 30% for me.” He said, “I wrote the contract in Eul’s position. All taxes are included,” he said.

The reason for closing the channel was also explained. Kim said, “Jang unilaterally informed that Jang had produced a fishing village diary without saying a word. We found out that Jang and his trust had all been broken and that he was torn apart.”

Afterwards, Mr. Kim said, “I talked enough about the fishing village diary with the chief Jang, and we agreed not to keep the fishing village diary, and we decided to cover the fishing village diary twice a month on the channel. Afterwards, Jang told his acquaintances that he should not work with PD Kim without any basis.”

Finally, Mr. Kim suggested a tough response, saying, “I am very painful because of comments that misunderstand me. I will take legal action against comments that spread false facts about me and defame me.”

In this regard, Jang Gwang-soon said, “We have appointed a lawyer and are proceeding with the legal process for everything that is going on with Kim. When the final legal judgment is decided, we will notify the subscribers of the results.”

On the other hand, Jang Dong-min’s father, Jang Gwang-sun, gained popularity with the buzzword ‘About that time’. He has been communicating with fans through the channel ‘That’s It’, which has about 230,000 subscribers.
