He filed a lawsuit demanding his unpaid settlements.
On February 28, 2025 (KST), the court ruled in his favor, ordering SPK Entertainment to pay the owed amount with interest.
Fan Reactions & Industry Impact
Fans celebrated Sungjong’s victory, calling it a win for artist rights in K-Pop. This case highlights the ongoing struggles many idols face with unfair contracts and non-payment, and Sungjong’s success could inspire others to take legal action when mistreated.
