L.Joe Files Lawsuit: T.O.P. Media In Hot Water After Actor Threatens To Terminate His Contract

L.Joe's recent announcement about a lawsuit against T.O.P. Media has become viral. This involves the termination of his contract with the South Korean agency.

A few days ago. Koreaboo reported about the bizarre Instagram activity of L.Joe and it includes deleting all of his selfies, changing his username from @teentoploveu93 to @iam93112, turning his account from public to private and unfollowing some of his TEEN POP members.
The rumors of him having difficulty with TOP Media has strengthened when L.Joe has uploaded a photo of cartoon dogs barking, together with the word "woof" on its background. For Koreans, "dog sounds" refer to language and lies. He has put nothing in his caption except an emoji of an arrow with the word "TOP" below it.

L.Joe's contract with T.O.P. Media is expected to end on January 2018 but he has already filed a lawsuit against the agency because of an alleged "obstruction in his solo activities". He claims that the agency he is with right now is abusing their power while destroying the trust that is supposed to be developed over years.

The argument between L.Joe and T.O.P. Media has started last year when they had a meeting about his renewed contract. L.Joe has been vocal about his dream to become a solo artist but it seems like the company has been postponing his supposed-to-be solo activities.

However, the agency has fired back to L.Joe, stating that he is not carrying out his responsibilities to the contract. T.O.P. Media even stated that the rapper-actor is not properly communicating with a certain drama company that tried to cast him. Despite an appropriate role and payment, the Korean male group member still refused to communicate with them.

Meanwhile, an insider claims that the casting of the drama is a clear violation of L.Joe's contract with T.O.P. Media. He alleges that the Korean agency is not fair with their duties in handling the said actor.
