Yu Junwon’s Secret Fan Meeting in Japan Finally Canceled

Yu JunwonThe Japan fan meeting was finally canceled.

On June 7, the organizers of Yu Junwon’s fan meeting in Japan announced the cancellation via their official website. Yu Junwon was initially scheduled to hold four fan meetings, two each at KT ZEPP Yokohama and Zepp Namba on July 5 and 7, respectively.

However, controversy arose when the production company of MBC‘s’Boy Fantasy – After School Excitement Season 2‘, Phunky Studio, confirmed that Yu Junwon was secretly preparing for a fan meeting in Japan and expressed his intention to take legal action. After Yu Junwon’s request for an injunction against Phunky Studio regarding its exclusivity contract was rejected, it was argued that holding a secret event would constitute a breach of contract.

At the time, Phunky Studio described the situation as “an act without any conscience towards the members of the Fantasy Boys” and even announced its intention to file complaints with the Korean Entertainment Management Association and the Korean Entertainment Producers Association.

According to the contract obtained by Phunky Studio, Yu Junwon is affiliated with Apple Monster Entertainment. Apple Monster has produced various shows, including Mnet’s “Queen’s Puzzle,” as well as concerts and fan meetings for several artists.

Previously, Yu Junwon was planning to debut as a member of the group Fantasy Boys after winning first place on MBC’s audition program ‘Boy Fantasy – After School Excitement Season 2’. However, conflicts have arisen due to issues such as profit distribution adjustments and unauthorized team departures. Although Yu Junwon requested an injunction against Funky Studio regarding its exclusivity contract, it was unsuccessful.

Meanwhile, the first trial date for the 30 billion KRW (21.8 million USD) damages lawsuit filed by Phunky Studio against Yu Junwon is scheduled for June 27.
