C-JeS Entertainment has responded to reports that the family of JYJ’s Kim Junsu has filed a lawsuit on allegations of fraud.

When asked about the issue on October 18, a source from the agency stated, “We do not know much about it. The entire transaction and the lawsuit in question were pursued by Kim Junsu’s father. We have no comments on this matter.”

The Seoul Jungbu Police Station stated they are currently investigating charges filed by Kim Junsu and his father against Mr. Jung, an individual working in real estate, on the basis of fraud under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Economic Crimes.

The father and son are claiming that they were defrauded by Mr. Jung in the process of selling their Toscana Hotel property on Jeju Island. After buying land on Jeju Island in 2011, they built a hotel and operated it until January 26, 2017, when they transferred ownership of the hotel to a real estate firm. In the process of transactions, Kim Junsu and his father are alleging that they were defrauded out of 30 billion won (approximately $25.4 million).

Kim Junsu’s father suspected that Mr. Jung was the actual owner of the real estate firm they conducted the transactions with, and filed the lawsuit with the Suwon district public prosecutor’s office in Seongnam. Mr. Jung denies that he was directly involved in the transactions.

The case has been transferred from the Gyeonggi Bundang Police Station to the Seoul Jungbu Police Station, and the police are said to have called in Mr. Jung and Kim Junsu’s father for questioning on October 15.
