[KB/Kookmin Ilbo] Former 2NE1 Member Minzy Files Injunction Against Current Agency Music Works For Contract Termination

[Whisky23]

It has been belatedly revealed that former 2NE1 member Minzy has filed an injunction against her current agency, Music Works, for termination of her current contract.

According to sources from the court via Kookmin Ilbo, Minzy recently filed a lawsuit with the Seoul Central District Court against Music Works to suspend the validity of her contract with them. She is also seeking ₩50 million KRW ($42,740 USD) in damages from the company.

The court held an interrogation on October 18 and called in both Music Works and Minzy to hear their respective positions on the dispute. The results of the injunction have yet to be released.

Minzy left 2NE1 and YG Entertainment in April 2016. Just one month later, she signed with her new agency, Music Works, and has released her first solo mini album under the agency.

There has been speculation that Minzy did infact leave Music Works prior to the reveal of these news, as a fan had asked her manager why he deleted photos of Minzy, and he confirmed he was not Minzy’s manager anymore.

Sad that even Minzy failed to escape the fate of having agency troubles. Music Works is under CJ E&M, so it's not a small agency in the traditional sense - I wonder what issues she was having that caused her to seek termination? Whatever it is, hopefully it doesn't drag on for too long so that she can move on to the next phase of her career.

I hope everything works out well for her

I hope this time she will choose her new label wisely... that is, either Bom's label or Jay Park's label, that's it really. XD

Not surprised i've been worried about her for a while now because after her solo debut promotions were over music works did nothing for her and there has been no news from her im glad she trying to leave

I hope she can find a company that will let her release music in a timely manner. She's barely put out anything since her solo debut in 2017.

She released an English single in late 2018, but it must not have been promoted well since I only found out about it recently.
