In response to a lawsuit filed yesterday, J.Tune swiftly issued its own
In response to a lawsuit filed yesterday, J.Tune swiftly issued its own statement Monday saying the latest charges were false and that Kim has a personal vendetta against Rain.
“We are discussing how we can counter sue Kim and get the truth out to the public,” a J.Tune spokesperson told The Korea Herald.
For now, it seems a rocky path awaits Rain, whose latest return to television with the KBS series “Plan B” has been getting soundly beaten by its rival, the SBS drama “Daemul,” in its Wednesday-Thursday timeslot.
Stacked on top of his financial woes, Rain is also suspected of trying to dodge mandatory Korean military service, with Kim saying Rain asked to be introduced to a specialist who could help him obtain U.S. permanent residency.
If the current allegations are proven to be true, Rain’s public reputation is likely to be irrevocably damaged as he has packaged his public persona as that of a hardworking entertainer who has overcome personal hardships to become one of Korea’s top stars. – The Korea Herald/ANN
