Lee Seung-hwan said on social media on the 25th that `Staff and band members are another victims of the cancellation of the performance,' and"We have decided to compensate even a part of the amount in consultation with the performance agency.'
According to him, 40% of the estimate will be paid to technical staff such as sound, lighting, and video equipment teams, and 50% of the session fee will be paid to band members, and the security team will not be compensated. Lee Seung-hwan thanked and consoled the staff, saying, `Without them, there would be no performance of mine.'
Originally, Lee Seung-hwan was scheduled to hold a 35th anniversary concert at the Gumi Culture and Arts Center on the 25th, but Gumi Mayor Kim Jang-ho notified the cancellation of the rental two days before the performance due to concerns about clashes between the audience and conservative right-wing organizations. Lee Seung-hwan claimed that Gumi City forced the signing of a pledge related to political agitation and that the performance was canceled when it refused.
In addition to compensation for the staff, Lee Seung-hwan said he will bear the full cost of a damage suit filed by 100 spectators against Gumi Mayor Kim Jang-ho. Lim Jae-sung, a lawyer at Haemaru Law Firm, a legal representative, said Lee Seung-hwan and concert bookers plan to claim damages against Mayor Kim, and the total amount of claims included 100 million won in damages and 500,000 won per audience.
