Dispute Arises Between ‘I am SOLO’ Star and Former Business Partner
A legal battle has erupted between Jeong Il-dae, known as the ’16th generation Gwang-soo’, a popular male performer on the hit ENA/SBS Plus entertainment program ‘I am SOLO’, and a partner of his start-up company. The partner, referred to as Mr. A, has filed a lawsuit against Jeong Il-dae, alleging non-payment of the agreed-upon stock purchase price.
The lawsuit, filed by Mr. A through JY Law Firm, claims that he did not receive the promised stock purchase price from Jeong Il-dae. The two individuals established Company B, a corporation involved in the development and sale of hair dryers. While Jeong Il-dae was responsible for overall management, Mr. A handled design and internal personnel matters. The company, which employed two or three people, would occasionally hire temporary assistants when needed.
Initially, Jeong Il-dae owned 100% of the company shares, and Mr. A started as an employee. However, later on, 50% of the shares were transferred to Mr. A through stock transfer and paid-in capital increase. The agreement stipulated that Mr. A would sell back the shares to Jeong Il-dae or the company at 200 times the face value upon leaving the company after three years of service.
According to Attorney Jeong Chong-myeong, representing Mr. A, the amount due to Mr. A upon leaving the company is approximately 400 million won. However, Jeong Il-dae allegedly changed his attitude towards Mr. A when he decided to leave the company after completing the required three years of service.
Attorney Jeong further explained that Mr. A expressed his intention to resign on September 12 due to issues related to contract workers and dissatisfaction with Jeong Il-dae’s work style. Following this, on September 14, Jeong Il-dae permanently suspended Mr. A’s company access card and interfered with the recovery of his personal equipment. Mr. A was also removed from the company mailing list, assigned a separate office, and ordered to report to work. These circumstances prevented Mr. A, as a designer, from carrying out his duties efficiently due to a lack of necessary operating system access.
Responding to these conditions, Jeong Il-dae sent Mr. A a dismissal notice on September 19, threatening disciplinary dismissal. Attorney Jeong contends that this dismissal process was merely an attempt by Jeong Il-dae to avoid paying the agreed-upon stock purchase price to Mr. A.
While this legal dispute unfolds, Jeong Il-dae’s appearance on ‘I am SOLO’ continues to achieve record-breaking ratings for the 16th season, attracting significant attention.
