Rain and JYP are blameless for the cancellation of Rain's World Tour concert in USA

The Seoul District Court in Korea has ruled that production agency 'Well Made Star M' has lost a case against Rain and JYP demanding around a four million dollar compensation for damage from them due to Rain's canceled World Tour concert in USA.

On the 28th, the court ruled against the plaintiff 'Well Made Star M', the organizer of World Tour, which had demanded around a four million dollar compensation for damage from Rain and JYP.

The judge expressed, "Rain's World Tour concert was canceled in North America, not due to the trademark friction to the name of Rain, but due to the inadequate preparation of production agency 'Micro' which was in charge of its promotion in Hawaii including the contract issues related to 'Revolution' company which was the local partner."

Continuing, "As there was a get-out clause in the contract that is Rain and JYP should not take the responsibility for the issues with third parties, 'Well Made Star M' can not hold them to the cancellation."

And, "Since the cancellation of the concert in China was due to the dogmatic sales of the concert right by the 'DR Music' company side, 'Well Made Star M' can not hold Rain and JYP to the cancellation either."

Before that, 'Well Made Star M' filed around a four million dollar compensation suit against Rain and JYP by claiming, "We paid around 8.7 million dollars to Rain and JYP for appearing in World Tour concert and for delegating the responsibility for the authority of the concert right to us in 2006, but 16 of 35 concerts were canceled because the JYP side did not divulge beforehand that there was a problem in the trademark right to the name of Rain in USA."
