Yeong-tak’s Yecheon Brewery, threatens to bury him in a series of truth workshops

“The threat of ‘my son’s life could be ruined’

While the manufacturer ‘Yecheon Brewery’ and the trot singer ‘Young-tak’ are fighting over the trademark right of ‘Young-tak Makgeolli’, a fierce battle is going on between the two sides. Today (21st), Young-tak’s side revealed that “If you do not negotiate the trademark right, you will be blackmailed and threatened that Young-tak will be buried in society.”

It was Yecheon Brewery who grabbed the microphone first. Yecheon Brewery’s side claimed that Young-tak demanded an unreasonable amount of 15 billion won over three years, 5 billion won a year, including brand-related cash and company shares, apart from the model fee.

He also emphasized that the reason for the failure to renew the contract was because of the unreasonable financial demands of Young Tak, and that the ‘Young Tak Makgeolli’ brand can be used even after the contract for the advertising model expires.

Then, Young Tak strongly denied the amount of ’15 billion won’ and explained, “There was no contact for a while after the period that Yecheon Brewery said that it would sign the contract, so it was recognized that the negotiation was over.” Regarding the use of the ‘Young Tak Makgeolli’ trademark, he also said, “It is not desirable to act as if you have suffered damage just because the negotiations are not reached.”

The Yecheon Brewery side responded in a head-to-head response. He claimed that “the mother of a shaman, Young-tak, ordered to bury the pig’s head at the site of the extension of the factory,” and revealed that there was a ‘gap-jil’ problem at the heart of the conflict between the two sides.

In response, Young Tak’s official statement said, “The degree of false slander and spreading of false information about Young Tak, who did not participate in the trademark negotiations, is very serious, and the insults and defamation of Young Tak’s family have not stopped.” Through Sejong Law Firm, we are pursuing a lawsuit against Yecheon Brewery Co., Ltd. seeking a ban on unfair use of the trademark.”

In particular, New Era Project, which is in charge of Young Tak’s management, also announced that “we will disclose every detail of the illegal trademark extortion scheme.”

On the 19th, Yecheon Brewery, who took the microphone again, said, “We have evidence of demanding 15 billion won. “Please watch until the end to see who is really lying,” he added.

In less than two days in this situation, the controversy continued again. The New Era side issued an official statement on the 21st, specifying the specific timing of the complaint, saying, “We are preparing a legal response against Yecheon Brewery’s blackmail threats, and we plan to file a complaint next week.”

New Era said, “The Yecheon Brewery side threatened to threaten the singer Young-tak’s image if he did not negotiate trademark rights according to their request, and through this, Young-tak would be buried in society.” Yecheon Brewing Company directly called Yeong-tak’s mother in the second half and told him to negotiate the trademark right according to the conditions insisted by Yecheon Brewing, because his son’s life could be ruined.”

He also said, “If the management company does not negotiate the trademark rights with the contents requested by Yecheon Brewery on several occasions, it will damage the image of Young Tak. He threatened to do it.”

“We have objective data such as recordings and text messages about Yecheon Brewery’s blackmail threats, and these illegal acts of Yecheon Brewery will be judged by the law,” he said. said.

New Era said, “Yecheon Brewery is taking advantage of the pain and image damage of Young Tak and his family to extort the ‘Young Tak’ trademark. Please,” he said.
