What a crap. Even though there were no agreement about dates you should have been paid him ALREADY. It's over a year for God's sake. Still trying to find a loop hole. What shameless people. I hope ABC will get everything through lawsuits so you can learn a lesson
📰 #GOT7’s #Youngjae Rebuts Dream High Production Company’s Claims: “No agreement was made on when payment would be made”
Youngjae’s agency, AndBut Company, released an official statement:
Hello.
This is AndBut Company.
We would like to state our position regarding the issue of unpaid appearance fees for the musical Dream High Season 2.
Recently, the other party stated that they had “reached an amicable agreement with GOT7 Youngjae’s side to complete settlement of the remaining unpaid fees within June.”
However, we have never discussed or finalized a repayment schedule setting the payment of the outstanding appearance fees for the end of June.
While the other party verbally stated that they would prepare and submit a repayment plan, they had already provided a repayment plan at the end of last year, and the timeline outlined in that plan was not followed. As such, we do not believe that the submission of another repayment plan is enough to sufficiently demonstrate either a sincere intention to repay the debt or the ability to fulfill that obligation.
Our company places the highest priority on protecting the rights and interests of our artist, and we are carefully reviewing both the developments of this matter to date and whether the promised obligations have actually been fulfilled.
In addition, we are continuing to pursue the necessary legal procedures related to this issue.
Thank you.

[단독] 출연료는 미지급, 약속은 미루기…'드림하이' 제작사의 무책임한 민낯
#드림하이시즌2#제작사#아트원컴퍼니#김은하대표#갓세븐#영재#iMBC연예
9일 갓세븐 영재가 '드림하이 시즌2' 제작사 아트원컴퍼니의 김은하 대표를 공개 저격했다. 약속받았던 출연료를 약 1년간 받지 못했다는 것.
김 대표의 입장은 어떨까. 해당 이슈를 취재 중이던 iMBC연예는 영재의 저격 하루 전인 8일, 김 대표의 생각을 들을 수 있었다. "회의 중이다" "지금은 전화가 어렵다"라는 멘트로 입장을 차일피일 미루던 김 대표와 무려 2주 만에 성사된 전화 통화였다.
출연료 지급은 왜 밀렸냐 캐묻자 김 대표는 "본의 아니게 흥행력이 좀 미진해서, 특히나 지방 공연이 힘들게 끝나 금액을 곧장 처리하지 못했다. 그렇다고 시즌 3 투자금으로 해결할 순 없지 않냐. 문제를 해결하는 동안 지급이 잠시 밀려 오해를 샀다"라고 밝혔다. 현재는 문제가 전부 해결됐다 주장하기도 했다.
다만 영재의 공개 저격처럼 여전히 일부 배우들의 출연료 문제는 해결이 안 된 상태. iMBC연예 취재에 따르면 일부 스태프들도 여전히 자신의 노동에 대한 대가를 받지 못해 거센 불만을 토로하고 있는 중이다.
이런 문제들을 언급하자 김 대표는 "아니다. 댄서들에 대한 출연료 지급은 모두 끝났다"라고 답변하다가도, 곧 "거즘 정리가 끝났다"라며 말의 뉘앙스를 고쳤다. 이후엔 변명과 기약 없는 약속이 반복됐다. 심지어 피소 건과 관련해선 거짓말을 하기도 했다.
김 대표는 통화를 마무리하면서도 연신 '진실성'과 '진심'을 강조했다. 김 대표는 "잠깐 어려운 건 사실이지만 피해를 입은 분들께 상처를 줄 생각은 전혀 없었다. 여러 상황이 생겨 본의 아니게 지급 날짜가 밀리게 됐다. 이미 그분들에게도 양해를 구한 상태다"라고 호소하며 "지금까지 난 진실성 하나만 갖고 버텨왔고, 우리가 품은 진실성은 나뿐만 아니라 배우들도 안다. 그러니 조금만 믿고 기다려 주시길 바란다"라고 덧붙였다.

Youngjae publicly calls out 'Dream High 2' production company over unpaid fees
"It has been almost a year since this went unresolved ... Do the time I spent practicing, my effort, and that entire process mean nothing?"
Youngjae was cast in the musical 'Dream High 2' in April of last year. This January, he filed a lawsuit against the production company over unpaid appearance fees.

#YOUNGJAE from #GOT7 criticized Artone and its CEO for still not paying his Dream High 2 appearance fees, noting he filed a lawsuit in January and has only received a small fraction despite repeated promises.
Youngjae (GOT7) menjelaskan bahwa dia belum dibayar sama rumah produksi musikal Dream High 2.
Awalnya tim produksi janjiin bahwa pembayaran akan dibayar 9 Juni 2026 tapi belum juga sampai hari ini.
Youngjae menjelaskan kalau dia kan perform dari april-Juli 2025 tapi belum juga dibayar.
Youngjae udah nuntut rumah Produksi Musikal Dream High 2 pada Januari 2026.
Padahal belum bayar aktor-aktrisnya, ada kabar bahwa mereka mempersiapkan produksi musikal Dream High 3. Ada kecurigaan bahwa rumah produksi gali lubang-tutup lubang dengan menggunakan gaji para aktor untuk menutup biaya produksi season sebelumnya

Youngjae called out Artone and the company's CEO for still failing to pay his appearance fees for Dream High 2. Youngjae filed a lawsuit against them back in January.
“I believe you said this would be settled by June 9, but even today it still hasn't been resolved. From the position of someone who is supposed to receive payment, every time I reach out, I'm told, "Didn't I say when I'd pay you? Please wait a little longer." By August, it will have been almost a year since this issue remained unresolved. This situation is becoming very difficult to deal with. I still haven't received the full appearance fee that I'm owed, so how do you think it feels for me to see posts like this? And please don't say that payments are currently being made just because you've sent a small portion of the amount that was originally supposed to be paid. Yes, you did send some money. But in my view, it's hard to call that a proper settlement when it's only a small fraction of what is owed. Have I ever asked for money unfairly? Do the hours I spent practicing, my effort, and everything I put into the process mean nothing? I wanted to resolve this amicably. But I don't believe we are the ones who made this situation uncomfortable. Oh, you'll settle everything within this month? Haha. Honestly, I've lost count of how many times I've heard that already.”
