Yay more drama, but at least it's someone else

After announcing that her agency was causing a delay in her comeback late last year, singer Ivy has filed an official lawsuit against them.

According to information revealed by the Seoul Central District Court on January 7th, Ivy filed a lawsuit against STOM E&F, and asked to terminate her contract.

Through her manager, Ivy revealed, “I signed an exclusive three-year contract with the company back in 2009, but since then, they have decided my entertainment activities without any discussions with me, and have been neglecting my career. They have yet to calculate the $20,000 USD I’ve earned in profit from my activities, and they’ve also failed to pay me the profits made from my third album, which was released October of 2009.”

She continued, “I’ve notified everyone that I terminated my account with the company as of June 21, 2010, but music industry representatives will not discuss any activities with me because my exclusive contract is still valid with STOM E&F. I have filed a lawsuit in order to prove that the contract is invalid.”

This isn’t the first time that STOM E&F celebrities have filed a lawsuit against the agency. Comedians MCs Yoo Jae Suk and Kim Yong Man, as well as singer Yoon Jong Shin have all notified the company of their contract termination due to their failure in adequately paying their stars.

AKP, Newsis

Wow, wtf?

Oh good, another lawsuit. For a second, I was worried 2011 would be better than 2010. I think we're safe now.

That said, she seems justified in her actions. Hope this doesn't turn into a storm.

do you mind me asking who that is in your icon? he looks familiar, is that yamapi? i google image searched tatoeba and got an eyeful of wrong things Q_Q.

[stinky259.livejournal.com]

Yeah (http://i.imgur.com/XjBul.jpg), that's (http://i.imgur.com/VyFyh.jpg) Yamapi (http://i.imgur.com/Mj5dK.jpg) :)

[eboreaus.livejournal.com]

omg thank you for the links, that's such an adorable photoshoot. i thought it was him but wasn't sure. last time i was in the fandom, he was still sporting the loveless hair.

[stinky259.livejournal.com]

haha that shoot is actually from way back in 06 when he was doing stuff with gYm. glad to help :)

[eboreaus.livejournal.com]

lol, i'm a terrible fangirl, cuz i was looking at that icon and going "hmm, he looks so mature and grown up now" to myself. /fail

[stinky259.livejournal.com]

ahaha if you want to see grown up Pi, you should see his latest anan shoot (http://i51.tinypic.com/2gwxdu8.jpg) ;D

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

I still didn't recovered from that photoshoot. God Bless Yamapi.

[eboreaus.livejournal.com]

asdfghjk :Q____ omg piiiii~ if they tracked my eye gaze movement they'd pretty much see me staring at one point in that picture for an absurdly long time. then i tore my eyes away and saw the owl pillow leering at yamapi's naked back and loled. i didn't know he did another anan shoot, all i remember was the epic naked one he did with that girl. thank you for sharing! made my day a happier one~

omg i love how you respond -________________-

[stinky259.livejournal.com]

:P whaaaaaaat.

[hellodee16.livejournal.com]

that pic is not flattering, esp for ivy. lol

but anyway, that sucks. what a shadyass agency. I hope she and the others(like jaesuk!) win their cases.

[jlie-ly.livejournal.com]

yeah, at least it's someone else, too much DBSK/JYJ/HM dramas for a day already.
the 1st week of 2011 is like this already, what would 2012 be?

[umbrella-smile.livejournal.com]

Not to be mean, but I didn't even know she came back in 2009...

[ethereal-limbo.livejournal.com]

her title song got banned (almost) everywhere, so her promotions got cut short, iirc.

[perfume.livejournal.com]

All I remember about her from that year is her pulling Khun up to the stage at MAMA(?) awards and molesting him.

[jonghyunf.livejournal.com]

lol this is all i remember

and she had a beautiful ballad where she cried on stage after netizens tore her apart because of the khun incident

[inuvampy.livejournal.com]

First lawsuit of 2011? *marks calendar*

[shinyflex.livejournal.com]

Great pic

[xfactorglory.livejournal.com]

LOL so true

[fuuism.livejournal.com]

Poor girl, I hope it goes smoothly. I wanted something new from her but I guess it's not happening soon.

[naliitaa3.livejournal.com]

Sorry, but I lol'd when I saw the company name.
Stom=stupid in Dutch xD

[unreal.livejournal.com]

Was me nog niet opgevallen maar dan doen ze hun naam wel eer aan.

[naliitaa3.livejournal.com]

Zeker. Shit sucks man.

[ayaisdifferent.livejournal.com]

ohh good luck Ivy ;__;

[meccamputech.livejournal.com]

she can't ever catch a break :/

[meelisch.livejournal.com]

I care, it made me a fan of hers

[love-keiko.livejournal.com]

IA, actually. and it was practically ignored, but that album was all kinds of flawless---it made me a fan

[ragedyfairy.livejournal.com]

ia. It was probably one of my most played Kpop albums that year.

[pickychu.livejournal.com]

that album was just absolute perfection.

[jonghyunf.livejournal.com]

yeah it was amazing

[mls-addxn.livejournal.com]

I'm commenting just for that rather unfortunate picture.

[ethereal-limbo.livejournal.com]

can people please stop with the "oh, i thought 2011 is going to be good". like seriously, are you 2 years old? this is life. good shit and bad shit happens all the time, and will continue to happen until the end of time.

and i have to add that i wish a successful comeback to ivy. girl deserves it. ;_;

[jonghyunf.livejournal.com]

lol that first part was exactly what i was thinking browsing omona, allkpop, soompi, etc

all the communities are pretty much the same

[kawaiiairbender.livejournal.com]

omg poor Ivy that sucks D: hope she gets her money.

[pineapple-soda.livejournal.com]

hopefully she gets what she rightfully deserves. her third album was so good!

[countrymir.livejournal.com]

is that a girl from the tribe in your icon?
o.o

[pineapple-soda.livejournal.com]

yes

[countrymir.livejournal.com]

:| if thats the case then Fei is a younger version of her ivy has been around for a while. one bad scandal and her rep went pretty much down the drain :|

[nandexdame.livejournal.com]

I hope girl made more than 20k from her activities. If not . . . damn.

[aho-monky.livejournal.com]

poor Ivy. ;w;

[pickychu.livejournal.com]

i was wondering why there was no news on a comeback last year. i hope this case is short and that she gets what she deserves.

[anaaga.livejournal.com]

not a good picture of ivy. i actually laughed because of that

[fabledlamb.livejournal.com]

Argh, that sucks so much! She's such an amazing artist but always seems to be unlucky offstage (that scandal, then her song being banned...).

I hope they'll be able to sort things out quickly for her so she can come back as soon as possible. Her last album was one of my favorite kpop releases of 2009 and her live performances are always nothing short of mind-blowing ♥
