Jung Suk Won Claims Unilateral Termination Of His Contract

Actor Jung Suk Won claimed unilateral termination of his contract.

Korean Entertainment Management Committee and the Ethics Committee on November 8, 2013, posted "restraint principles of entertainment activities" to 100 member entertainment agencies.

This is a non-legally binding conclusion. However, this decision is a recommendation among the member agencies, which could make it difficult for Jung Suk Won to continue acting. 

Previously on October 25, 2013, Jung Suk Won stated reasons for early termination of the contract as agency's management negligence, including its effort to prevent invasion of privacy.

Forstar Entertainment cited preservation of secret, private relationship with Baek Ji Young until marriage and minimum calculation of costs for entertainment activities for its assertion.

Jung Suk Won, originally a stuntman, contracted with Forestar Entertainment on June of 2010 and has grown as a popular actor. He filmed KBS "Iris 2" in 2011 and is currently finishing up filming "Clash: NLN" as a main character.
