Peter, settlement completed just one day after the one-year overdue appearance fees were made public

"Solved in a single day after posting" Peter reveals his one-year wait

Actor Peter, who appeared in the musical 'Dream High 2', has finally received his appearance fees that had been delayed for over a year. On the 7th, Peter shared his actual deposit details on his social media with the message, "Settlement complete. It's finally over." He received the money from the production company just one day after he publicly brought up the fact that he had not been paid.

Peter added, "The settlement that took over a year seems to be resolved in just one day after I posted about it," and "I sincerely hope that others will also be able to receive their settlements."

During this process, the content of the message from an official at the production company, Art One Company, which Peter disclosed, was shocking. The official proposed the deletion of the post as a condition for settlement, saying to Peter, "If you take down the post, we will deposit the money that very day." Furthermore, they appealed, saying, "Please do not go that far for the sake of receiving payment, especially toward the company that worked together with you to create the stage." The official continued via message, "Since Season 2 ended with difficulties, the overall unpaid amounts will be paid out this month, but it is not easy for us either to overcome this difficult process. It was not intentional, but we apologize for hurting your feelings due to the unavoidable delay."

Peter deleted the post as requested and verified the settled amount. Concluding his post, he emphasized, "I hope they keep their promises to the end, not just to me, but to all the actors, dancers, and staff who worked together." He then mentioned the next season, leaving a message that "I hope the same thing does not happen to us in 'Dream High 3'."

Following GOT7 Youngjae's legal action, a petition for unpaid wages of all employees is filed

Youngjae of GOT7, who was a lead in 'Dream High 2', has also publicly raised the issue of unpaid settlements and has taken legal action. Through his personal account, Youngjae expressed his frustration, saying, "Please do not say that the settlement is in progress when you are only paying small portions of the original amount that should be paid." He continued to criticize the production company's attitude, asking, "Is all the time and effort I put into practicing nothing?"

Problems have also erupted from within the production company. Former employees of Art One Company filed a petition with the Ministry of Employment and Labor, claiming they had not received their wages and severance pay. It is reported that the petition includes allegations of verbal abuse by CEO Kim Eun-ha along with the unpaid wage issues.

Amid the suspicions of using appearance fees to cover other debts and the widespread unpaid settlement crisis, Art One Company announced news of the production of 'Dream High 3', which will feature Seven, Sunye, and others.

“It's finally over” The message left by Peter

Sharing the news of the completed settlement, Peter stated, "Settlement complete. It's finally over." He added, "The settlement that took over a year seems to be resolved in just one day after I posted about it," and "I sincerely hope that others will also be able to receive their settlements."

After deleting the post, Peter emphasized, "I hope they keep their promises to the end, not just to me, but to all the actors, dancers, and staff who worked together." He then left a message saying, "I hope the same thing never happens to us in 'Dream High 3'."
