JYJ Member Junsu To Countersue Contractors For Defamation & Fraud

JYJ member Junsu recently sued a Jejudo construction company for fraud and libel, upgrading the case to the police.

Kim Junsu's attorney revealed on the 13th that Junsu had reported a defamation and fraud litigation case to the Gangnam police department on the 12th.

The case involves a previous accusation from the construction companies working under the Tuscana Hotel, which Junsu holds assets under. The construction companies claimed that Junsu had not given them proper reimbursement for the project and sued for liability reasons.

Claiming that the payment plan changed on the appeal of the situation, the defenders of the legal case believe that there is no valid point to refute on part of the original suing party.

The counter case revealed that the construction companies took advantage of Junsu's Hallyu fame and used it to slander his name in the pursuit of unwarranted funds. Junsu's lawyer stated that the star never met or agreed upon an IOU that determined a specific amount to be repaid during the construction process. The IOU was simply issued on the behalf of the contractor's request, and no amount was borrowed to be reimbursed in the first place.

The Tuscana Hotel's management team found out that the two construction companies that were involved in the case were actually from one address. Also, despite the contract amount being discussed with the contractors prior, the two companies continued to harass the hotel asking for construction fees. Therefore, it was concluded that there was an alternative motive for using the star and his monetary status.

With the whole scenario tarnishing the reputation of Junsu and his assets, the case seems to be much bigger than what it originally panned out to be. The construction companies' motives of charging the hotel through a simple court relayed procedure seems to correspond to a classic case of fraud in the pursuit of profit.   

The head lawyer of the case claimed that the claims of the contractors were built on the grounds of nonsensical behavior and the sole purpose behind the fiasco was to get media coverage for publicity, whether or not Junsu was in the right. The lawyer also stated that Junsu will be fighting back and that the fraudulent contractors will be punished for the defamation they caused to the Korean star.
