[Edaily Reporter KIM HYUNSIK ] Mr. A, the CEO of Mountain Movement Story—the organizer of a year-end dinner show featuring Sechs Kies members Ko Ji-yong, Lee Jae-jin, and Jang Su-won that was subsequently canceled—has filed a defamation lawsuit against Lee Jae-jin.

In a statement released on the 11th, Mountain Movement Story announced the filing of the lawsuit, stating, “We are taking legal action regarding public posts on social media that directly mention a specific individual by name and detail how that individual received payment and the status of refunds.”
They added, “This complaint is unrelated to any Sechs Kies members or the group’s activities, nor is it directed at the company or this event. We hope this matter is not misinterpreted as a dispute among Sechs Kies members or a legal conflict related to the group’s activities.”
Mountain Movement Story explained, “The complaint has been forwarded to the relevant authorities,” adding, “The specific facts and legal determinations will be confirmed through proper investigative procedures.”
Originally, Lee Jae-jin, Ko Ji-yong, and Jang Su-won were scheduled to hold the dinner show “THE TREE: Sechs Kies’ Unfinished Story” at the Inspire Tower Ballroom in Incheon on the 15th and 16th of next month. However, the event faced complications after Lee Jae-jin announced his withdrawal in a statement posted on his social media account the previous day.
In the post, Lee Jae-jin claimed, “Through reports from fans, I learned that the organizers were contacting fans individually to accept payments into personal bank accounts, and I have confirmed on multiple occasions that fans who requested refunds have not yet received them.”
He added, “Out of concern for the fans’ losses, I demanded that the organizers promptly issue refunds for the outstanding payments and conduct transparent ticket sales through official ticketing channels; however, since these concerns were not addressed, I have decided not to appear at the event.”
Mountain Movement Story is also Go Ji-yong’s personal agency. Following Lee Jae-jin’s announcement of his withdrawal, Mountain Movement Story and Jang Su-won’s camp announced the cancellation of the dinner show.
Regarding Lee Jae-jin’s claims the previous day, Mountain Movement Story had previously stated, “We will review necessary measures based on the evidence we possess regarding any content that is inconsistent with the facts and that damages the reputation and trust of the company or other related parties, or that places unfounded responsibility on Ko Ji-yong and Jang Su-won.”
