The national soccer team's midfielder Lee Kang-in Paris Saint-Germain has taken legal action against an advertising marketing agency hereinafter referred to as A agency, which claims to be his domestic agency.

Kim Ga-ram, a lawyer who has been in the law office, a legal representative for Lee Kang-in, issued a statement on the 13th and announced legal action against agency A.

Lawyer Kim said, "Lee Kang-in's agent is Javier Garrido, and there was no separate domestic agency until December 2023," adding, "A agency asked Lee Kang-in's agent to visit Lee Kang-in's agent in March 2023 and deliver advertising and sponsorship proposals from domestic companies."

"A agency has since delivered some sponsorships, but it has repeatedly forced the signing of advertising contracts against Lee Kang-in's will," he said. "It was different from the facts, such as claiming to be Lee Kang-in's domestic agency."

Lawyer Kim said, "Lee Kang-in notified agency A on July 14, 2023, that he would not accept any proposals from agency A in the future, and he would pay for the work done by agency A," adding, "The agency A has repeatedly made false claims that it is a domestic agency for Lee Kang-in, and by January 2024, he requested the payment of excessive amount of money beyond the usual level, and even notified the media that Lee Kang-in's image would be damaged if such a dispute was disclosed."

Lee Kang-in's side said, "We will pay the amount after confirming the appropriate remuneration that Lee Kang-in has to pay to the agency A, clarifying his intention not to give in to the threat of the agency A," adding, "If the agency A and others spread false facts and defame Lee Kang-in, we will take all legally available measures and respond strongly."

Meanwhile, Lee Kang-in announced that he appointed K10 Limited as a domestic agency in January 2024. K10 Limited said it will fully prepare to prevent such an unsavory incident from occurring in the future and provide maximum support to Lee Kang-in so that he can concentrate only on soccer. 토토사이트 순위
