Song Ji-hyo Wins Settlement Lawsuit Against Former Agency… Court Orders Payment of 984 Million KRW

Ujurox Case Closed Without Response or Argument

Actress Song Ji-hyo won the first trial in a lawsuit claiming settlement money worth 900 million won against her former agency.

The Civil Division 45 of the Seoul Central District Court (Presiding Judge Kim Kyung-soo) ruled on the 22nd in favor of Song Ji-hyo in the settlement money claim lawsuit against her former agency Woojurox, ordering "the defendant to pay the plaintiff 984 million won and delayed interest." The court also ruled that Woojurox bear the litigation costs.

Song Ji-hyo, who signed an exclusive contract with Woojurox last October and had been active under the agency, notified Woojurox of the termination of the exclusive contract last April, claiming she had not received the settlement money of 984 million won from Woojurox.

In May, she filed a lawsuit against Woojurox for the settlement money and reported former Woojurox CEO Park Joo-nam to the police on charges of embezzlement under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes.

This lawsuit was concluded without a hearing as Woojurox did not respond at all, including appointing legal representation or submitting an answer.

According to the Civil Procedure Act, if the defendant does not submit an answer within 30 days from the date of service of the complaint copy, the court may issue a default judgment.
