On the 19th, Yecheon Brewery said, “I filed a complaint with Yeong-tak himself, his mother Lee, and his agency to the Yeongdeungpo Police Station in Seoul.
The reason for the complaint is fraud, obstruction of business, defamation by spreading false information, and allegations of false accusation.”
Yecheon Brewery said, “Due to the excessive greed and false media play of trot singer Yeong-tak, who was an advertising model, and his mother, the company’s reputation was tarnished, sales fell sharply, and more than 100 agencies across the country went out of business. has also been patient However, on September 27, last year, Young-tak and Young-tak’s mother filed a complaint against Baek Gu-young, president of Yecheon Brewery, and Jo, the head of the Seoul branch. The charges were defamation by attempted blackmail, intimidation, and spreading false information. The case was dismissed through a police investigation,” he said.
He continued, “In order to actively deal with this matter, Yecheon Brewery has also decided to sue Young Tak, Young Tak’s mother, and the company’s CEO on charges of false accusation. In addition, we are proceeding with criminal prosecution for defamation and obstruction of business of Yecheon Brewery by Yeong-tak, which has endured in the past. , and there are no legal problems with the sale.”
The conflict between Young-tak and Yecheon Brewery began in June of last year when negotiations to renew the model for ‘Young-tak Makgeolli’ broke down.
At that time, Yecheon Brewery announced that Young-tak’s ‘Young-tak Makgeolli’ modeling activities had expired, and said, “Young-tak requested 5 billion won for one year, 15 billion won for three years, including cash and company shares, separate from the modeling fee. They refused to negotiate the amount until the deadline.” In response, Young-tak’s side refuted, “Yecheon Brewery’s claim is not true at all, and there is no fact that Yeong-tak’s side demanded 15 billion won from Yecheon Brewery.”
In September of the same year, Young Tak filed a criminal complaint with the police against Yecheon Brewery Chairman and others on charges of defamation, intimidation, and attempted blackmail under the Information and Communications Network Act, but the police decided not to send the case on the 3rd. In response, Young-tak’s representative said, “I do not understand” and will file an objection.
On the other hand, Young Tak received great love by taking the 2nd place ‘Sun’ in the TV Chosun trot audition program ‘Mr. Trot’, which ended in March 2020. However, it has since been raised due to issues such as conflicts with Yecheon Brewery and the company’s CEO admitting that he tried to hoard music.

We would like to inform you that Yecheon Brewery, a traditional liquor manufacturer, is filing a criminal complaint against singer Young-tak and his mother.
Yecheon Brewery submitted a complaint to the Yeongdeungpo Police Station in Seoul in January against Young Tak himself, his mother Lee, and his agency. The reason for the complaint is fraud, obstruction of business, defamation by spreading false information, and allegations of false accusation. Yecheon Brewing Co., Ltd. suffered great damage, such as the loss of reputation of the company, a sharp decline in sales, and the closure of 100 agencies nationwide due to the excessive greed and false media play of the trot singer Yeong-tak, who was an advertising model, and her mother. have been patient
However, Young-tak and his mother rather filed a complaint on September 27, last year, against Baek Gu-young, president of Yecheon Brewery, and Jo, the head of the Seoul branch. The charges were defamation by attempted blackmail, intimidation and spreading false information. As stated earlier, the case was dismissed through a police investigation.
Accordingly, the police also decided not to send the contract to the police for △ Young-tak re-contract amount of 15 billion won (3 years) △ Jucheon rite, pig head test △ Free agency request, and Young-tak public relations building request, etc. didn’t
Through this lawsuit, I hope that it will be revealed clearly how a company that has been walking a single path for over 30 years to develop traditional liquor has collapsed due to the abuse of Yeong-tak’s hat. The decisive reason for the breakdown of the model renewal contract between Yecheon Brewery and Yeong-tak was the unreasonable demand from Yeong-tak’s side for 15 billion won over three years and the abuse of his mother, Mrs. Lee. However, Young-tak’s side, based on its strong fandom of tens of thousands, put it under the stigma of a ‘vicious company’ and launched a collective action called a boycott, and Yecheon Brewery suffered a huge blow not only to the company’s sales but also to its image. The remaining dealerships are almost on the verge of closing.
Despite this situation, Young-tak’s fans formed a media response team in charge of media articles, a YouTuber response team in charge of YouTube articles, and a Naver article response team in charge of Naver TV through the official Young-tak fan cafe of tens of thousands to become blind singers. I am advocating for Young Tak. They intentionally form negative public opinion about Yecheon Brewery, and have been working on an image making work that makes Yeong-tak an unfair victim.
In order to actively deal with this matter, Yecheon Brewery also filed a complaint against Young Tak, Young Tak’s mother, and the representative of his agency on charges of false accusation. A criminal complaint has been initiated regarding
Weak local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are in a situation where they have no choice but to watch this secondary harm. To clarify once again, Yecheon Brewery does not have any legal problems with using and selling the trademark ‘Young-tak Makgeolli’. Even now, we have been forced to file a lawsuit at the company level for the employees of Yecheon Brewery who have unfairly left the company and the store owners who have lost their livelihoods by correcting the misinformation even now.
Once again, we earnestly hope that a victim like Yecheon Brewery will not happen again due to the power abuse of famous celebrities and their families, and we hope that the truth will come to light through this opportunity.
