Hip-hop duo Lee Ssang’s Road (real name: Gil Seong-jun, 43) refuted as “obvious false facts” as producers were engulfed in controversies such as unpaid labor and verbal violence.
Producer Tank posted a video on his YouTube channel on the 17th, claiming that he and others had been “slave without a contract” for a year.
Tank said that while writing the Mnet’Show Me the Money 5’contest requested by the road, he was actually locked up in the practice room and worked without paying. “If you don’t like the song, his verbal violence and assault will not stop.”
In addition, he claimed that when he was on the verge of being sued by the original author for saying that his song’The Swallowtail’ was similar to singer Kim Heung-guk’s song of the same name, Gil’s manager threatened himself with “Let’s all you upset.”
The video was deleted the day before, but the controversy grew as some media reported it.
On the 19th, Gil said through the law firm Oracle, “The producer’s claim is clearly false,” and “We will actively take civil and criminal legal actions, including criminal charges and claims for damages.”
Oracle explained that because the composer group is a kind of partnership, it receives a share of the profits from music, and that Tank’s’Swallowtail’ copyright is three times higher than Gil.
In addition, he said, “It was only natural contact in the process of transferring and acquiring a certain share of the copyright fee of’Swallowtail Butterfly’, and there was no threat or coercion in the process.”
