Lee Seung-hwan is continuing to file a constitutional petition with the Gumi market for unfair cancellation of the concert



Singer Lee Seung-hwan has warned of legal action with a strong attitude toward claiming damages against the Gumi market.

On the 6th, Lee Seung-hwan intends to seek the judgment of the Constitutional Court on the freedom of conscience, freedom of art, and freedom of expression violated by the mayor of Gumi on December 20, 2024. The Dream Factory will go all the way to the end," he said, posting data on his request for a constitutional appeal trial.

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."
