After the agency decided to terminate the contract and file a compensation claim, Ju Haknyeon refused to sign the agreement. "I said I will not sign it, I cannot agree to this amount. Realistically, if I pay this, it will be the end of my life. I will go bankrupt," he stated.

6. Criticism of the Company

Ju Haknyeon views ONE HUNDRED as a company that does not protect its artists. "I want people to know that the company does not protect their artists and does not act like a proper company. If I lose this case over something I did not do, the company will likely abuse situations like this again," he said.

7. Cooperation with the Media

He also feels that the Korean media highlighting his case is cooperating with ONE HUNDRED. This strengthens his view on the weak protection of artists and information manipulation.
