Kim Bum, from the hit drama "Boys over Flowers, is involved in a legal dispute between his previous and current agencies according to KBS Entertainment News.
Kim’s previous agency E Entertainment has filed a damage suit against Kim and his current agency K Entertainment for an alleged breach of contract.
E Entertainment said they paid 150 million won to Kim's agency K Entertainment to take over the rights to the exclusive contract with Kim.
E Entertainment also said they hired Entertainment representative Lee as their exclusive manager.
However, they said that Lee and actor Kim Bum cancelled the contract in February, 2009, when Kim shot to stardom through the KBS drama Boys over Flowers.
On December 8, 2009, E Entertainment accused Lee of doing financial damage to the agency due to a breach of contract. In addition, E Entertainment filed the suit with the Seoul district court, claiming 500 million won from Kim and 440 million won from K Entertainment.
K Entertainment denied the claims stating, “The contract was not an exclusive contract, but for M & A [Mergers and Acquisitions]. I will demand compensation for the loss.”
Actor Kim Bum first gained popularity through the MBC sitcom “High Kick” and the MBC drama “East of Eden” in 2008, and became a heartthrob in Korea with the drama Boys over Flowers in early 2009.
