[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Actor Shin Hyun-joon’s side stated that they "plan to file a complaint soon" amid being sued for defamation by Shin Hyun-joon’s former manager, Mr. Kim.

On the 27th, Lee Young-man, a lawyer from the law firm Pyeongan representing Shin Hyun-joon, said, "We have not yet received any information regarding the lawsuit from the former manager," adding, "We confirmed this after seeing the article. Shin Hyun-joon has also stated that the allegations of power abuse are groundless, so we are preparing to file a complaint."

He added, "Since the incident happened 10 years ago, we expect it will take some time to prepare."

Previously, Mr. Kim, Shin Hyun-joon’s former manager, revealed that he was subjected to power abuse while working as Shin Hyun-joon’s manager, sparking controversy.

Manager Mr. Kim claimed that Shin Hyun-joon ordered him to do unreasonable tasks such as verbal abuse, irrational settlements, and personal errands.

In response, Shin Hyun-joon’s side said, "The attempts to tarnish his reputation have gone too far. We have collected rebuttal evidence and will prove that falsehood cannot overcome the truth," adding, "We will hold legally accountable not only Mr. Kim, who is full of lies, but also those who spread the false information he provides."
