Yoochun Was Fined 500 Million KRW (~$385,000 USD) For Using A Friend’s Firm To Initiate Activities.

The court ordered Park Yoochun to pay his agency for independent entertainment.

Yonhap News reported on December 24 KST that the Seoul Central District Court’s Civil Conciliation Division 45 sided with Have Fun Together (previously YesPera) in a case against Park Yoochun and C-JeS Entertainment. It said, “The defendants are jointly responsible for paying the plaintiff 500 million KRW (~$385,000 USD) and interest.”

Have Fun Together inked a 2024 exclusive management contract with Park Yoochun through C-JeS Entertainment in January 2020. Park Yoochun sought to end the exclusive deal with Have Fun Together in May 2021. He and C-JeS delivered a notification that they could terminate the exclusive deal if the settlement fee was not paid after negotiations failed.

After Have Fun Together’s non-compliance, Park Yoochun terminated his contract and launched his entertainment career with business ‘A,’ operated by an acquaintance.


In August 2021, Have Fun Together sought an injunction against Park Yoochun banning broadcasts and entertainment, which the court upheld. Park Yoochun and ‘A.’ maintained international performances and endorsements notwithstanding the court’s ruling. Have Fun Together sued Park Yoochun, C-JeS, and ‘A’ for management rights infringement, seeking 500 million KRW.


Park Yoochun breached the order by engaging in entertainment activities through Company A without Have Fun Together’s authorization, and C-JeS actively participated.

Park Yoochun and others claimed that Have Fun Together’s refusal to pay the settlement amount dissolved the exclusive contract, but the court found that the settlement was paid on time after scrutinizing financial transaction records.


The court rejected Have Fun Together’s demand to ban entertainment activities since the damages sought were based on Park Yoochun’s activities through another management business.
