Back at the closing of 2009, Han Geng filed a lawsuit against SM Entertainment in regards to his slave contract with the company. Because of the lawsuit, Han Geng withdrew from Super Junior and started anew, this time as a soloist in China. Last year, he won the lawsuit, which meant his contract was nullified, but SM Entertainment sought to overturn the decision by filing an appeal. However, news has broken out that Han Geng and his lawyers have filed to dismiss the appeal drawn up by SM Entertainment.
Han Geng and his lawyers had applied for an appeal dismissal of SM’s appeal. Han Geng had decided to terminate his long contract thanks to poor working conditions, few breaks, and harsh penalties. When he filed the lawsuit, he mentioned, “Due to unreasonable penalties upon breaking the rules of the contract, I was forced to maintain the schedules given to me. SM Entertainment had complete advantage over the contract which asked for 13 years of service.”
The courts have yet to approve of Han Geng’s motion to dismiss the appeal, but if he is successful, then the lawsuit can come to an end.
Looks like SM is still dragging out this lawsuit. Will it end soon?
