Hankyung VS SM Entertainment Part II

Following DBSK's trio footsteps, Hankyung of Super Junior has also filed a lawsuit against SMEnt in regards to having an unfair contract.

Hankyung's court trial began on January 8th of this year.
The results are still unknown although there is a possibility of Hankyung regaining his freedom as early in March according to the law.


"According to Korean Law, when the plaintiff made a contract invalid litigation, proceedings usually need to go through a three-step trial; the first trial, second trial and third trial. The first and second trials need a period of 4-8 months each, while the third trial has no explicit period, it may even take more than 8 months. In order to prevent SM from using the delay tactics, Hankyung has applied for the 'Effective Suspension of Contract Agreement' to the Seoul Central District Court at the same time, ruling for this plead would be known as early as March or April 2010. This also means that if the appeal is successful, Hankyung would be able to regain freedom in advance by March 2010. "

Great turn of events would you say? At least there seems to be hope for those who are chained in the vicious grasps of entertainment industries. It seems like his case is processing faster than DBSK due to the fact that there is no third party involved unlike DBSK.

If the trial is said to be in favor of Hankyung, would that means he'll get out of Super Junior because his contract would then be terminated?
No one is for certain of the future although their fans are hopeful yet doubtful at the same time
since Hankyung is said to be more into acting than singing.
"13elieve" is what many ELFs would say right now.
