8 Photos of Park Seo Joon Suing Ganjang Gejang Restaurant from the Drama 'WHAT'S WRONG WITH SECRETARY KIM?', Demanding Billions of Won

Park Seo Joon is reported to have filed a lawsuit against the owner of the restaurant that was once a filming location for his drama, 'WHAT'S WRONG WITH SECRETARY KIM?'. The lawsuit was filed because the restaurant owner used clips from the drama for promotion without permission.

This case has shocked the public due to the fantastic claimed amount, reaching 6 billion Won or around 71.4 billion IDR. Let's check it out in full! If not now, when?

Park Seo Joon feels his right of publicity has been violated after discovering that the restaurant displayed a banner reading "The restaurant where Park Seo Joon eats crab" and advertised on Naver for six years.

The banner has been up since August 2019 until September 2024, using scenes from a drama that aired in July 2018.

Initially, the restaurant owner argued that the promotion was reasonable because they were a sponsor of the drama.

However, the court ruled that the actions still violated Park Seo Joon's right of publicity.

Although the initial value of his claim reached 6 billion Won, his official lawsuit amount is only 60 million Won or about Rp 714.4 million.

Park Seo Joon's agency explained that they have repeatedly requested the banner to be taken down since 2019, but it has gone unheeded.

The court's ruling awarded compensation of only 5 million Won or about Rp 59.5 million, and both parties bear their own legal costs.

Nevertheless, netizens remain divided into two camps. On one side, some say Park Seo Joon's lawsuit is excessive. On the other hand, there are also many who support the actor's firm stance.
