In a turn of events that has the Korean entertainment industry buzzing, singer meenoi finds himself embroiled in a controversy with his agency, AOMG, over an alleged fake signature in advertisement contracts, with rumors now swirling about a possible contract termination. This controversy first came to light following meenoi’s unexpected absence from a scheduled advertisement shoot on January 30, with a cosmetics brand, leading to public outcry and speculation.
According to AOMG, the conflict arose due to a misunderstanding regarding the delegation of signing authority for advertising contracts, which resulted in meenoi failing to participate in the advertisement shoot. However, meenoi countered these claims on social media, stating that he was unaware of the contract’s details and had discovered a fake signature bearing his name upon reviewing the document. He expressed his concerns over differences in contract terms compared to previous agreements and stated that his requests for modifications were not met, leading to his decision not to proceed with the shoot.
Further complicating the matter, Dispatch released a conversation between meenoi and AOMG, revealing that the agency had shared details of the advertisement shoot, meetings with advertisers, and other arrangements with meenoi in December of the previous year. Despite these communications, disputes over a “fake stamp,” which meenoi claimed to be his electronic signature, and disagreements over compensation for advertisement damages have further strained their relationship.
In response to the allegations, meenoi clarified in a live broadcast that his agreement to a 200 million won advertisement contract was based on misunderstandings and trust in verbal assurances from the agency. He emphasized his integrity, stating that he has never lied about the situation.
The issue took a new turn when Xports News reported that meenoi is considering terminating his contract with AOMG, despite having time left in his agreement. AOMG, when approached for a comment, responded cautiously, stating that the situation is currently under review.
As the Korean music scene watches closely, this controversy raises questions about artist-agency relations, contract transparency, and the pressures faced by artists in the highly competitive entertainment industry. Fans and industry insiders alike await further developments, hoping for a resolution that respects both meenoi’s rights as an artist and the contractual obligations between him and AOMG.
