Court Orders KBS To Retract Junhyung of BEAST's Claim XING Entertainment CEO Kim Kyeong Ok Threatened Him With A Broken Bottle

On Monday, a Seoul Southern District Court judge ordered the Korean Broadcasting System (KBS) to issue an on-air retraction of statements made last year by Jong Junhyung of the K-pop boy band BEAST, on the KBS2 TV program "Win Win," that the CEO of his previous record label broke a bottle and brandished it to intimidate the star.

The court ordered the network to issue two on-air statements refuting Junhyung's claim XING Entertainment CEO Kim Kyeong Ok took him to a bar with the purpose of threatening him so he wouldn't challenge what the BEAST rapper referred to as a 10-year "slave contract."

"KBS needs to broadcast a refuting report ahead of their programs 'Cool Kiz on the Block' and 'Entertainment Weekly' letting people know 'there is no truth to Junhyung's claim that his previous agency's president threatened him with a broken bottle,'" read the Seoul Southern District Court decision, according to the publication Chosun Ilbo.

The court decision was the result of lawsuits Kim filed against KBS and Junhyung for slander.

The 23-year-old star was signed to XING Entertainment before joining BEAST. Junhyung was in the band Xing with with U-KISS Kevin Woo, and performing under the stage name Poppin' Dragon.

Woo's contract, also a 10-year agreement, was thrown out by a Seoul Court back in 2010 for being unfair, according to the website allkpop.

Yet, when Junhyung attempted to leave XING Entertainment a couple years earlier to seek out more enriching career options elsewhere, Kim wasn't ready to let that happen.

"After mentioning that I wanted to quit, I was called to a bar where the CEO was," the BEAST band member said in the now infamous "Win Win" interview.

"He held a broken bottle and asked, 'do you want to leave or not?'"

KBS executives are fighting the court-mandated apology, according to the publication My Daily.

"KBS has appealed the court's decision," read an official network statement following Monday's decision. 

"In the first trial, it had been confirmed that Junhyung's remarks could not be seen as a false accusation. In addition, it had been judged that KBS was not the subject of the refuting report."

Raccoon Boys Kim Min Suk Signed Onto a Recording Label

Another one of the standout stars of "K-Pop Star" Season 2 recently signed onto a recording label.

NH Media, who is currently managing star actor Lim Chang Jung and superstar idol group U-KISS, has announced that they've signed rapper Kim Min Suk (aka Raccoon), who gained popularity while performing with two other vocals as the group Raccoon Boys on "K-Pop Star."

Raccoon finished his mandatory military duties while serving as an auxiliary policeman for the duration of his military term. After being honorably discharged, Raccoon was approached by NH Media and decided to sign with them.

Raccoon entered into the "K-Pop Star" competition with a fellow auxiliary policeman as the group "Leggo". He alone made it to the next round, so he teamed up with McKay Kim and Brian Shin to form the Raccoon Boys. They went all the way to the TOP 5 competition before being eliminated.

Raccoon issued a statement through NH Media, saying, "I'm no longer limited by my military term and status as an auxiliary policeman, so I want to come onto the music scene and greet the fans with my music."



Kibum, Alexander, and Dongho - What Are Former Members of U-KISS Up to These Days?

After Dongho announced his retirement from U-KISS, fans have begun to wonder about the whereabouts of Kibum and Alexander, who left U-KISS in 2011.

Dongho's retirement was officially announced by U-KISS' management company, NH Media, on the 16th of October. Dongho has been battling health issues, and finally concluded that he no longer wants to be in the entertainment industry.

U-KISS debuted in 2008 with six members, Dongho, Soohyun, Kibum, Eli, Kevin, and Alexander. They added Kiseop as a new member in 2009 and gained success as a 7-member group. In 2011, Alexander and Kibum left the group to pursue education and business interests. AJ and Hoon were brought in as their replacements.

With Dongho's leaving, the total members that have left U-KISS is changed to three. Dongho had garnered much attention because of his acting talent and MC performances on various TV shows, but as he is now no longer in the entertainment industry, one can't help but wonder what career he will pursue in the future.

Kibum and Alexander, however, are still in the entertainment industry. Many of their Korean fans do not know much about their whereabouts because Kibum and Alexander have been active internationally.

Alexander, who is a citizen of Hong Kong, has been active in other Asian markets, such as Hong Kong, China, and Japan. He signed with a different management company and released a solo album. He is also a part of entertainment shows and dramas. Most recently, he teamed up with Rainbow's Jisook to work as MCs for an international event.

Kibum has been active in Japan, taking the alias Allen Kibum. It is rumored that he's earned over $10 million in ad appearances alone. He is also preparing to release a solo album in Korea.

U-KISS will perform with six members in the meantime. They will release a new album late October and come back to the Korean entertainment scene as planned.



Twitter Reveals the Real Reason Dongho Left U-KISS

Idol group U-KISS member Dongho has revealed his desire to leave the entertainment industry for good following his retirement from U-KISS.

NH Media released a statement, saying, "Dongho has decided to permanently leave U-KISS and shut down all future activities as an entertainer immediately."

Dongho will not be with U-KISS for their new album, which is scheduled for a late October release.

Like Us on Facebook :

NH Media added that Dongho had lost the desire to pursue a career as an entertainer due to the weakening of his health. After a long and continued discussion with Dongho and his parents, they decided together that it would be best to accept Dongho's decision to quit the group and his career.

Dongho himself released this information saying, "The more I performed together with U-KISS, the more I realized that I didn't fit the mold of a star. I got tired of adjusting myself to fit a mold that wasn't me at all. I want to live as a regular person, not a star or an entertainer."

Dongho also requested that people do not take his pictures or videos from now on.

He was diagnosed with lung inflammation last year. He had surgery for the condition in November of last year and left a rather sad quote on his Twitter, which read "A person ruins his health to earn money, and he then spends that money to regain his health."

U-KISS fans have largely expressed sympathy for Dongho, saying, "I understand why he's leaving, but it's sad to see him go" and "I hope he finds happiness in his return to a normal life."
