omonatheydid“Slave Contract Nullified” Super Junior’s Hankyung Appeal Withdrawn
The lawsuit between Super Junior’s former Chinese member Hankyung and SM Entertainment over their exclusive contract has been resolved.
On the 25th, following Seoul’s High Court’s civil jury of 19 members (Presiding Judge Go Euiyoung), Hankyung’s lawyer from Horizon Line law firm* submitted a request to waive the lawsuit over his exclusive contract.
It was said that because of Hankyung’s youthfulness, “he’s had continuous concerts overseas and he hasn’t been able to rest once in the span of two years thanks to the extremely busy schedule he has,” and “it won’t do for him to have to keep paying penalty fines because of this contract and have this affect his current activities.”
From a superior position in the partnership, SM wanted to trap 21-year-old Hankyung into a contract that would keep him with their company until he was 34.
Despite the fact that the court attempted to mediate prior to the announcement, Hankyung said that “his trust relationship with SM had collapsed,” while SM claimed that Hankyung “acted independently before the decision of the exclusive contract was finalized,” which led to their legal battle.
A member of the jury said, “the exclusive contract drawn up January of 2003, the altered contract made in February of 2007, and the annexed contract of December of 2007 were all signed by both parties but there is no effect,” and so the plaintiff has won.

After everything he put up with and all he went to just to leave...no way.
Stay solo Geng bb. You look happy now. One day you'll come back...just not under SM. :D

Date: 2011-09-25 01:50 pm (UTC)Han Geng files lawsuit.
Geng wins lawsuit.
Contract is void.
Judge rules that he doesn't have to pay termination fees.
SM appeals this, because they like money.
Geng has now filed to dismiss SM's appeal.
The only thing that happens if SM wins the appeal, (unlikely), is that Han Geng will have to pay termination fees.

Date: 2011-09-25 02:17 pm (UTC)People on tumblr were making it seem like he was coming back and I was like wait, what? Delusional ELF :| I get so annoyed by the ones who want him to come back. He wasn't happy and why would you want him to come back and be unhappy, just so you can have your stupid PROM15E TO BEL13VE wank fantasy :(

Date: 2011-09-25 02:56 pm (UTC)the original seemed like a statement from SMe which would be more bias towards them. (and any Chinese source would be more bias towards Geng)
no subject
Date: 2011-09-25 03:01 pm (UTC)If by some change he was to ever stay with SMe, i don't think they would put him back in SJ, but keep him as a soloist in China.

I love SJ, but he'd be doing the most stupid thing ever. And going back under SMent, come on. I don't see happening anytime soon, lol. I don't want it to happen, either, as much as I miss and love him.
Anyway, thanks again :)

Geng has now filed for a dismissal of SM's appeal.
Even if it is not dismissed, and SM wins the appeal, the only thing that happens is that Han Geng will have to pay termination fees.
He would not, in any way, have to return/be under contract to SM.
Is this clearer? =\

Date: 2011-09-25 04:18 pm (UTC)And yes, your summary is correct. I was hoping to get this in first before someone tried to post the sujuism or allkpop translation. The notion that Han Geng would ever be under contract to SM again should not be entertained nor spread further, because he would most likely just pay out the contract termination fees and continue on with his solo career in China.
