Victory Contents and Keyeast, on the other hand, claimed KRW 3 billion (about NT$75 million) and the lawsuit was still ongoing, as Keyeast claimed that "Ji Soo withdrew from the drama because it was unilaterally notified by the producer and KBS and did not carefully confirm the facts, so it did not need to bear any liability for breach of contract." We believe that using Ji-so's controversy as an excuse is actually more profitable than the money actually lost." Do not want to be responsible for liquidated damages.
