Actress and model Clara has released audio files of conversations between her and Polaris Entertainment‘s CEO as their dispute over her contract continues.
On March 17th, news media Channel A reported on Clara’s audio recordings, which revealed CEO Lee Kyu Tae threatening the actress. The transcript read:
Lee Kyu Tae: I am a person that learned the techniques, and was in the Central Intelligence Agency (KCIA). If I get mad then, what could you possibly get from it? I will spend money to ruin you, do you know my power?
Lee Kyu Tae: If anyone tries to fight me do you think I would lose? What do you have to gain by angering me?
Lee Kyu Tae: Why are you being so stupid?
Clara: I know
Lee Kyu Tae: No, you don’t know. Do you know what I am capable of?
Lee Kyu Tae: I blocked XX and XX broadcast you know right? After that, they lost everything. I’m talking about that. You have no idea what I can do if I put my mind to it.
Lee Kyu Tae: You really don’t know who I am. If you do anything or do anything via SNS even if it’s through your other phones I can find out.
The police have acknowledged the recordings and Lee Kyu Tae’s alleged threats towards her on March 16th. Currently Lee Kyu Tae is being detained after being arrested on suspicions of corruption by the prosecution.
Clara has filed a lawsuit to cancel her exclusive contract with Polaris, claiming she was sexually harassed by the CEO. Soon after, Polaris then filed their own counter lawsuit against Clara and her father. This resulted in a series of messages exchanged between the two parties to be released publicly as onlookers tries to determine who is in the right and wrong.

1. [+5,238, -107] Both seem out of their minds... I thought the CEO was a gentleman from reading his Kakao Talk messages with her but he's got so many secrets of his own... he's cancerous. And Clara, well she just ruined herself with her own lies.
2. [+2,893, -66] I really don't want to see either of them on the news anymore
3. [+1,722, -71] Let's not give them attention
4. [+584, -7] This is basically a battle between poop and diarrhea
5. [+553, -16] That CEO is full of his own bad secrets, you can tell just by the amount of jobs he landed for her when she's not talented in anything to begin with. Lee Joon's probably right in that the entertainment industry is a dirty, dirty place.
6. [+373, -17] She could've just pushed her lawsuit by focusing on his threats but she had to bring in sexual harassment... sigh;;;

1. [+114, -7] This is why they say the industry is so dirty. I think they're both one and the same, Clara for sending that grandpa pictures of her in bathing suits and that grandpa for trying so hard to exile her from the industry. I wonder how often things like this happen where a sponsor will exile a celebrity just because they don't like them anymore.
2. [+121, -12] They're one and the same. I don't wish to see either of them anymore.
3. [+84, -16] Clara, stop and just go back to your country. That grandpa looks like he's going to go to jail anyway so I don't want to see either of you in the news anymore.

Date: 2015-03-18 01:52 pm (UTC)So this convo happend after she reported him with the false thing?
I'm starting to think she wanted to get out of the company (like look, at the end of the day this guy clearly is shady) but did not have patience or any actual, hard reason for court to terminate thing, so she went the "easy route" - came up with all this mess to get it faster. Like girl, it's not high school, you can't create false drama and get away with it.
I'm more interested in who are those two XXs that he made to dissappear from broadcast, they certinaly would have a lot to tell...

Date: 2015-03-18 02:22 pm (UTC)This does not exonerate her of anything
Not to mention her team claimed they did not release this
Both side are still as messy as they were a few weeks ago
