Lai Kuan Lin’s Legal Battle With Cube Entertainment Is Closing This June
In July 2019, the former WANNA ONE member and CUBE Entertainment trainee went to the Seoul Central District Court to file a lawsuit requesting the suspension of his exclusive contract with the agency.
Lai Kuan Lin's Lawsuit
The Chinese idol accused CUBE Entertainment of selling his management rights to a third-party company without the consent of Lai Kuan Lin's parents.
Furthermore, the 19-year-old idol claimed that the agency would schedule activities that overlap with his own schedule without consulting him.
However, Lai Kuan Lin's request was dismissed by the Seoul Central District Court on November 21st, 2020. Because of the court decision, CUBE Entertainment stand firm on their ground to maintain the exclusive contractual relationship with the Chinese idol.
Days after the court released their decision, Lai Kuan Lin was embroiled in smoking controversy and dating rumors. Aside from this, the idol was accused by former staff of lying about his relationship as well as fabricating his claims in the lawsuit against CUBE Entertainment.
Lai Kuan Lin has since released a handwritten apology to fans for the controversies that concern his image.
As of this writing, both Lai Kuan Lin and CUBE have failed to come to an agreement.
