On the 4th, Lee Seung-hwan said that he is collecting evidence related to the spread of false information.
Lim Jae-sung, a lawyer at Haemaru Law Firm, Lee Seung-hwan's legal representative, said "After the unfair cancellation of the Gumi performance, many cases have been confirmed that false information about Lee Seung-hwan was recorded on the website of a local government where Lee Seung-hwan's performance is scheduled."
The Jinju City Hall website 'Hope to the Mayor' is representative of Lee Seung-hwan, who was written on December 23, 2024, saying 'Shout for anti-U.S. and the withdrawal of U.S. troops'.
Lee Seung-hwan said, "Criticism, debate, and debate should be respected, and those who oppose the performance should be guaranteed to express their opinions of 'opposite' and 'cancel'."
He then emphasized that "However, false information should not be publicly stated and the reputation of a particular person should not be damaged.'
In the meantime, "I hope that the spread of false information will not distort the public sphere." Since there is a possibility that these problems will spread later, I would like to inform you that related data such as posts and comments are being collected as evidence as a precautionary measure."
Earlier, Lee Seung-hwan was scheduled to hold a 35th anniversary concert at the Gumi Culture and Arts Center on December 25 last year, 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.
Regarding the compensation, he also said, "(If I win, I will donate all of it to our Dreamlight Youth Orchestra in Gumi City.") and added, "(If the lawyer) receives a success fee, I will donate a large portion of it."

Hello, I'm Lee Seung-hwan's representative, lawyer Lim Jae-sung (Haemaru, law firm).
After the unfair cancellation of the Gumi performance, many cases have been confirmed that false facts about Lee Seung-hwan are written on the website of local governments where Lee Seung-hwan's performance is scheduled to be canceled. A typical example is that Lee Seung-hwan, who was written on December 23, 2024, shouts for anti-U.S. and the withdrawal of U.S. troops in the column 「"Hope to the Mayor" on the Jinju City Hall website.
Criticism, debate, and debate should be respected, and those who oppose the performance should be guaranteed to express their opinions of 'I disagree' and 'Cancel'. However, false information should not be publicly indicated and a specific person should not be defamed.
Please don't distort the public sphere by spreading false information. Since there is a possibility that these problems will spread in the future, I would like to inform you that related data such as posts and comments are collected as evidence as a precaution.
