Hope for Comprehensive Revelation
In a statement, Spire Entertainment expressed anticipation that the report to the Fair Trade Commission would lead to a comprehensive revelation of the facts.
They voiced their hope that the truth would emerge through the impartial judgment of the Fair Trade Commission, emphasizing the importance of avoiding mutual accusations and unfounded speculations.
Pursuit of Legal Measures
Furthermore, Spire Entertainment affirmed its intention to pursue legal actions, including both civil and criminal measures for damages.
The agency aims to rectify any inaccuracies in previous media reports by filing a complaint with the Press Arbitration Commission.
Once the Fair Trade Commission reaches a decision, Spire Entertainment plans to seek compensation for damages. The agency sees this as an opportunity not only to address the specific case but also to strengthen the K-Pop market and eradicate any tampering practices.
Background of Legal Disputes
In November 2022, OMEGA X initiated legal proceedings against Spire Entertainment to regain the intellectual property rights (IP) transferred to IPQ.
Responding to this, Spire Entertainment took legal action against lawyers A and B, who were present at the OMEGA X press conference.
In contrast, IPQ denied any illegal activities or tampering attempts during the termination of OMEGA X's exclusive contract with Spire Entertainment and their subsequent recruitment to IPQ. The ongoing legal battles underscore the complexities within the K-Pop industry and the efforts to maintain integrity and fairness.
