First, ex-member of The EastLight Sagang, who backed the agency in the press conference a few days ago (Omona post) and refuted claims of the brothers Lee Seok Cheol and Lee Seung Hyun, made an instagram post:

( Instagram post + a recap of what happened in the press conference )

Lee Seok Cheol's side meanwhile responds to further claims made by Media Line Ent. (they released another statement to the press, post-press conference), including the suggestion of abuse by their father. Their lawyer basically states that the agency should stop with the media play and submit their evidence to the police if they have sth to say.

( Full statement )

Now, former Media Line Ent. / The EastLight's marketing team employees updated the bio for The EastLight's IG saying that they don't care about the company disagreeing with members who have ended their contracts and will share all 120 pieces of evidence to show the truth to the public. They shared an audio clip of Lee Seok Cheol's father and Moon Young Il PD to show that the assault happened without the CEO's knowledge.

In an interview with a media outlet last week, the legal representative of the claimant (herein referred to as Mr. Kim) Jang Ji-won explained the reason for the lawsuit. According to Jang, Mr. Kim hold the rights to H.O.T.’s brand and logo. As such, it is within his rights to file a claim against the group should they use them without his consent.

Reportedly, Mr. Kim was part of the H.O.T. management when it was under SM Entertainment. He is also the current trademark holder of H.O.T. Notably, Mr. Kim hinted at filing a lawsuit against the group prior to their reunion concert earlier this year.
