New J.Tune lawsuit.
All right. It has been roughly thirty-six hours since news concerning this disturbing subject matter started to break… and believe it or not, we are STILL waiting on all of the major news sources—Asian and English—to give everyone a CORRECT, unified story. What is the problem here?
One version is that Rain and eight investors of J.Tune Creative are being sued for embezzlement of funds (2.5 billion KRW, $2.25 million US) by another investor named “Mr. Lee”. Version #2: Rain and eight investors are bringing the lawsuit themselves—suing J.Tune Creative for misuse of funds (2 billion KRW, $1.8 million US). Version #3. Rain and seven (not eight?) J.Tune Entertainment (Not Creative?) staff are being sued by a fabric company because said fabric company lost its investment in SixToFive. Version #4: A lawsuit for $180,000 US has been brought against J.Tune Creative by a fabric company owner named “Mr. A” who says he didn’t get the proper return on his investment. (Isn’t that the chance you take when you invest in something? Just asking.) Version #5 should be hitting the Internet at any moment now.
Blogs and fan sites must pretty much report what they are given by the big news organizations… but there is no excuse for major source journalists to mess around like this, particularly when someone’s very reputation is at stake. How irresponsible. So until everyone gets their act together, or J.Tune and Rain have a press conference and speak with their own mouths or post an official statement on an official medium, we are not putting any of that stuff here.
We can’t make any pre-judgements about J.Tune Creative—with its chain of command and infrastructure separate from Rain, who knows what was going on there?—but we can about him. As if Ji-Hoon would embezzle anything and dishonor his deceased mother after living ten years with that burden and basing every step he took on that… seriously? The word on the street (if it is indeed true) that Rain intends to sue for libel and the slander to his name once the charges are answered is uplifting. By heaven, he should.

I’m not sure what the person suing is trying to pull. Rain has no position in actual J.Tune Creative corporate heirarchy, to my knowledge. He is a model for the company and a shareholder… and if what I’ve read is true, his modeling fee went straight into the company stock, so doesn’t that mean he profited or didn’t profit from that money the same as everyone else?
Whatever. I’m sure that having Rain’s name as defendant on your court papers is really attractive to some people. Sort of ups the ante (or, as some folks have found out the hard way in the past, it doesn’t.)

I agree with you Stephe and I also do think that Rain should sue for slander to his name. His name is being dragged thru the mud like you said he has no reason to embezzle from anyone.

Thank you for clarifying the conflicting stories and emphasizing what we all know to be true – that Rain is an honorable person. I can’t believe the particularly bad timing, with the Back to Basic comeback, end of Legend of Rainism and Time 100 all happening right now. This should be a time for Rain to feel really happy and proud, but now he has to deal with this – frustrating!
