Kwak Dong Yeon, known as the 'Queen of Tears' for his emotional performances, is set to hold a fan meeting in Japan after six years.

Scheduled for June 28th at 5 PM, the 2024 Kwak Dong Yeon Japan Fan Meeting 'HEARTS' will take place at the Mozart Hall in Tokyo's Katsushika Symphony Hills.

The drama achieved a peak viewership of 24.8%, contributing to his global popularity.

Expressing gratitude towards his Japanese fans who have consistently supported him through dramas like 'Vincenzo,' 'Gaus Electronics,' 'Big Mouth,' 'Our Beloved Summer,' and Love in the Moonlight,' Kwak Dong Yeon's agency stated, "Special performances are being prepared for the fans," heightening excitement for the upcoming event.

The legal battle between former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin and a former ADOR employee, known as "A", is still far from over.

On May 26, the Seoul Western District Court’s 21st Civil Division will hold the second hearing in a damages lawsuit filed by A. The lawsuit demands about 100 million KRW (approximately $73,000 USD) from Min Hee Jin.

This all began in August of last year when A accused Min Hee Jin of defamation and violating personal information laws, and filed both criminal and civil complaints.

A claims they experienced workplace bullying and sexual harassment by ADOR’s former deputy CEO, "B", and said that Min Hee Jin, who was the CEO at the time, tried to cover it up instead of taking action.

Min Hee Jin strongly denied the claims. She responded by releasing private chat logs between her and A, along with an 18-page written statement defending her position.

Back in January, both sides joined a court-led mediation session in an attempt to settle the civil case. A’s side said they would consider settling if Min Hee Jin apologized.

However, Min Hee Jin's side declined, firmly stating, “We cannot admit to any of the claims,” and the talks broke down.

During the first hearing in March, the court told both parties to organize their arguments and submit their opinions on the evidence, which the court will now review in the upcoming second hearing.

The case has drawn attention as it involves serious accusations and one of the most high-profile figures in the K-pop industry.
