Singer Lee Seung-hwan filed a 250 million won lawsuit against Gumi Mayor Kim Jang-ho, who canceled his concert hall rental last month.
Lim Jae-sung, Lee Seung-hwan's legal representative, said he filed a lawsuit against Mayor Kim and Gumi City at the Seoul Central District Court on the 22nd.
He explained that the lawsuit included a total of 102 people, including Lee Seung-hwan, the concert agency Dream Factory Club, and 100 audiences who booked the concert.
He also added that apart from the lawsuit, it is necessary to determine whether Mayor Kim's actions violate freedom of expression, and that he is preparing a constitutional petition.
Earlier, on the 23rd of last month, two days before Lee Seung-hwan's 35th anniversary concert "Heaven," Gumi City canceled the rental of Lee's concert hall, the Gumi Culture and Arts Center, for citizens and audience safety reasons.
Mayor Kim said he asked Lee to submit a pledge that he would not say political words and actions, but he did not respond, so he responded like this.
Lee Seung-hwan claimed that the request to submit a pledge and the unilateral cancellation of permission to use the venue were illegal activities.
