[Edaily Reporter KIM HYUNSIK ] Singer Lee So-ra has taken legal action against the CEO of her former agency.

Lee So-ra’s agency, Marehim Entertainment, issued a statement on the 10th, stating, “Last February, we filed a motion for a seizure order against Mr. A, the head of her former agency, regarding neighboring rights for a total of 45 songs, including ‘The Wind Blows,’ and the court granted the motion.”
The agency explained, “Although it was a former agency with which we had collaborated for a long time, after reviewing various circumstances, we concluded that it would be difficult to continue the existing relationship.” It added, “We are proceeding with the necessary legal procedures to resolve the relationship with the former agency and to protect the artist’s legitimate rights and musical assets.”
The agency also urged, “As proceedings regarding this matter are currently underway, please refrain from speculation or excessive interpretation based on unverified information.” Finally, the agency stated, “We will continue to do our best to support Lee So-ra so she can continue her music career steadily and to protect her rights and interests.”
According to the music industry, the assets subject to seizure include the rights to her sixth studio album *Eyebrow Moon*—which features the track “The Wind Blows”—as well as her seventh and eighth studio albums and her remake albums. Pursuant to the court’s seizure order, Mr. A, the CEO of her former agency, is now prohibited from arbitrarily disposing of these neighboring rights. However, this decision does not definitively determine the final ownership of the neighboring rights.
Lee So-ra debuted in 1993 as a member of the group “Strangers” and, after transitioning to a solo career in 1995, gained popularity with songs such as “I’m Happy,” “Please,” and “The Wind Blows.” Last July, she released a new song titled “I’ll Forget Your Face Completely.”
