‘River When The Moon Rises’ Sued Ji Soo & KeyEast for US$2,661,771

River when the moon rises sued jisoo

Due to Ji Soo’s bullying scandal, Victory Contents (the company that produced River Where The Moon Rises) should re-film everything. Ji Soo was supposed to star in River Where The Moon Rises as the main lead. However, he dropped out in early March, when 90% of the drama has been filmed. As a result, the company needs to re-film with Na In Woo to replace Ji Soo.

According to Victory Contents’ press release, the company has filed a compensation suit to the Seoul Central District Court against KeyEast. Victory Contents sue Ji Soo and KeyEast for KR₩ 3 billion (approximately US$2,661,771).

Victory Contents Sued Ji Soo & KeyEast

“We have filed a compensation suit against KeyEast with the Seoul Central District Court to claim our portion of damages.

As many of you are familiar with this case, this is related to the school violence controversy by KeyEast actor Ji Soo. KeyEast and Ji Soo signed an actor appearance contract with us to appear in River Where The Moon Rises, and the drama has received a lot of love from viewers since it began airing on February 15, 2021.

However, in March 2021, reports started surfacing about Ji Soo’s involvement in school violence. It wasn’t limited to just fighting between students, but also extortion, proxy testing, sexual crimes, a level of terrible things that are difficult to state. Ji Soo and KeyEast acknowledged his misdeeds and decided to drop out of River Where The Moon Rises. (This content came from MBC’s show True Story of Exploration).

River Where The Moon Rises was in the process of pre-production, and when the school violence controversy surfaced, filming for the drama was nearly complete. However, when the actor was replaced, we had to refilm all of Ji Soo’s scenes. The production cost of this drama was huge, and the amount of additional costs we had to incur was severe due to the re-filming, but we decided to re-film episodes 1-6 in order to keep our promise to the viewers that we would show them a complete, finished work. This promise is not only for domestic viewers, but also global viewers, as the Hallyu Wave boom cannot be ruined by one school violence offender.

However, we have suffered direct damage due to this, from staff costs, location and equipment fees, appearance fees, art fees, and many more. We have also suffered other serious damage that could affect the us for a long time, such as a decline in viewer ratings, complaints from overseas distributors, a decrease in sales, and damage to the company’s image.

In order to recover these damages as soon as possible and to concentrate on producing good dramas, we tried to negotiate compensation with KeyEast, but were unsuccessful due to the non-cooperation of KeyEast.

We would like to conclude this suit and receive compensation as soon as possible, and we will continue to make great efforts to ensure the broadcasting stations and viewers around the world can continue to enjoy watching healthy and wholesome programs.”
