Oh My Girl's signature album, which was awarded to Lovelyz, was marketed online on Monday (5/25). For this incident, Woollim Entertainment As Lovelyz Agency Directly Takes Legal Path.
Lovelyz is facing a new polemic. Because on Monday (5/25), the album "Closer" owned by Oh My Girl which was awarded to Lovelyz was sold online. The album was submitted for sale on an online sales site with the title "Selling the signed 'Closer' album. 'Closer' by Oh My Girl".
"It also has JinE's signature. The message was written in Jiho's handwriting, so it's valuable. The photo card is Binnie. Quote your prices. Because the 'Closer' is not printed anymore, the applicable price is 70,000 Won (around Rp. 852 thousand) "for an open album and 130,000 Won (around Rp. 1.5 million) for a sealed album. So consider that when making an offer," the post owner wrote.
The post also included an album image. The message on the album says, "For Lovelyz. Hello! This is Oh My Girl. 'Ah-Choo' is very fresh and cheerful! We hope you will show lots of support for our new song 'Closer' too! We will be a group that always works hard . "
In connection with this case, Woollim Entertainment as the Lovelyz agency responded very firmly. Woollim even asked for a police investigation to process the case. Check out the full agency statement below.
"Hello, this is Woollim Entertainment. We are writing to inform everyone about the illegal sale of our artist's private property.
Recently, we realized that the CDs that Lovelyz received as a gift in the past were sold on the mobile application and we have checked with staff and subcontractors to confirm how the item could leak. We are currently careful to store all items, including the CDs given to our artists. And we want to let you know that we never give any item to anyone else.
The item in question has been determined as a theft case. We have requested a police investigation and will do our best to confirm the exact details of the leak and retrieve the item.
We extend our sincere apologies to those affected by this unexpected situation. We promise to take extra precautions to ensure events like this never happen again. Thank you."
