XXIV_VII Posted July 5, 2012 Report Posted July 5, 2012 Original news: http://news.nate.com/view/20120705n34335 Kara won the lawsuit against an ad comapny. Eastern Seoul 11th civil case division went through a lawsuit when a clothing company sued Kara's entertainment company DSP media for the damage made due to Kara's separation issues on July 5th. The court favored with Kara's side saying that "Because celebrities had conflicts with their compapny and contracts, it doesn't confirm that it affected the celebrity's image" and "It is hard to judge that the clothing company and its reputation was harmed because of Kara" Before, clothing company brand ASK had a modeling contract with Kara last year from Feburary to July, which was worth 200,000 dollars. But after a while, member Han Seungyeon as well as 4 others claimed they wanted issues with their entertainment company resolved and told the clothing company they wanted to end the contract. With that news, the clothing company sued DSP media, saying that they lost about 400,000 dollars that included filming fees. translated by me
modueca Posted July 5, 2012 Report Posted July 5, 2012 Thanks for translating. I'm glad to know that this matter is finally closed. Our girls have already suffered too much. Losing this lawsuit would have made things even worst.
mae Posted July 5, 2012 Report Posted July 5, 2012 Thanks for the translations. It was crazy for everyone involved during that time. Glad it's solved.
Frience Posted July 6, 2012 Report Posted July 6, 2012 Thank you translation! Last year, after so many troubles, ASK came with another issue with this lawsuit. I'm glad it was finally solved.
gyuriFTW Posted July 6, 2012 Report Posted July 6, 2012 Ah yeah I remember reading something about this lawsuit a while back. With all the trouble that was happening at the time this seemed like a minor issue but I'm glad it worked out in KARA/DSP's favor. Hopefully this puts the last of the contract dispute era issues fully in the past for good.
kimngocnguyen06 Posted July 6, 2012 Report Posted July 6, 2012 I glad that the court decide on KARA side. I do agree with the statement just because the conflicts with contrast doesn't mean that it would affects the person itself. I glad that the court so it that way. I didn't even know that there was a lawsuit file.

With that news, the clothing company sued DSP media, saying that they lost about 4 million dollars that included filming fees. translated by me Wow, that 's a huge modeling contract I kind of understand ASK 's thought, Korean in general hold a negative view about anyone didn't obey the original contract (look at JYJ). But really glad that the court is on DSP 's side this time. About the last part, ASK said they lost 4 million dollars? But the last article I read state that they only seek for 400,000 dollars in damage though. So which one is correct? Clothing company Edited July 6, 2012 by fantomas
red4summer Posted July 6, 2012 Report Posted July 6, 2012 from a neutral stand point, ASK has a valid shout. i don't wish to go further but imo ASK was unfortunate and unlucky to lose the case. @fantomas thanks for the clarification.
XXIV_VII Posted July 6, 2012 Author Report Posted July 6, 2012 @fantomas haha yeah thanks for pointing that out, I made the corrections Lol, sorry guys $200,000 and $400,000 sounds right. I'm bad at converting korean wons to dollars ;_;
Solin Posted July 7, 2012 Report Posted July 7, 2012 Good they won the lawsuit. And I somehow can understand ASK. But I think everybody has suffered from the issue so it is better to end everything.
kara1fan Posted July 8, 2012 Report Posted July 8, 2012 Thanks for the translation. I'm happy that KARA won the lawsuit. Like may others had said, they've gone through a difficult process last year. Now everything is solved~
eriye9 Posted July 9, 2012 Report Posted July 9, 2012 I hope this puts and end to all this lawsuit business for Kara for a while. It must be so straining to go through all this stuff.
Karakoh Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 Time to bring a closure and allow them to concentrate on their careers and bring more wonderful music to us.
unknowngirl Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 thank you for translating the news. i never heard this case before but i'm glad that they won this lawsuit. i hope they won't get such a trouble again in the future =)
Hiroyuki Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 Thanks for the translations. Glad they got the issue out of the way so that they can focus on more pressing things like their performance and getting ready for their comeback.
MIKee Posted July 27, 2012 Report Posted July 27, 2012 Good thing everything's alright!~~~ Kara had a lot of burden now...it's good thing those burdens toned down a bit...
KARA★FIED Posted July 28, 2012 Report Posted July 28, 2012 ASK was so... stupid on this. reputation was harmed because of KARA? now they got the answer from court. lol
KangJY Posted August 3, 2012 Report Posted August 3, 2012 oh I think I stumble upon a website of this clothing companies before but I don't think all 5 appears on them it was nice actually. why didn't they rejoin this after the issue has been resolved
red4summer Posted August 3, 2012 Report Posted August 3, 2012 ^ sometimes when a working relationship is torn, it's beyond the reach as the trust is gone. it's a pity the partnership between kara and ASK didn't work out eventually. anyway in life, everyone needs to move on. btw they had endorsed as 5 with ASK before.
승연양 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Posted August 16, 2012 thank you for your translation, it's good to know that hope there would be nothing like this anymore in the future
onestopjazzy Posted August 22, 2012 Report Posted August 22, 2012 wow, i never thought that issue is so complicated just because member separation and clothing contract i glad its all finished
승연양 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Posted August 24, 2012 thank you for translating it such a good news to hear that it's solved
sarah k Posted October 7, 2012 Report Posted October 7, 2012 That's pretty crazy. There are so many factors that were not properly counted for in the suing case. Thank goodness the judges saw that.
vanlinh90 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 Well DSP does owe them money for breaking the contract but I do agree with the fact that Kara's image has not changed. They are popular than ever now. It's hard for them to even schedule everyone down.
