Se7en Fears to Stop Filming First Series Due to Lawsuits
South Korean dancer and singer Se7en became a leading actor for the first time in the series “Goong S”. Currently he is being accused by the production company of the popular series “Goong”, Eight Peaks, of plagiarism of their work. In addition, the title “Goong” is used unauthorised and lead to confusion towards the audience. They requested the court to issue a prohibition order for the filming and broadcast later on.

A board member of Eight Peaks Choi Gye Young pointed out that it was actually the company Group Eight that produces “Goong S”. It turns out that Group Eight was established in May this year by workers who were fired from Eight Peaks. Therefore they don’t have the right to produce any works related to “Goong”.

Choi Gye Young added: “Recently, Group Eight have changed the series’ title from “Goong 2” to “Goong S”. However, they still promote their series as a sequel and a special edition of “Goong”. Yet that is actually illegal and plagiarism. Without our agreement, they have used the title “Goong”. In reality, they are stealing!”

He also said angrily that Group Eight have disappointed them and more importantly, they have affected the production of “Goong 2”. He explained: “The appearance of this pirated version of “Goong 2” (he is talking about “Goong S”) also blew up the contract negotiations for the broadcast of “Goong 2” in the other Asian regions. Group Eight exploited the “Goong” trademark to obtain many benefits. In order to avoid such losses again, we already went to court and requested to stop the production of “Goong S”.”

Yoon Eun Hye and Ju Ji Hoon for the original “Goong 2”

Because of this matter, Eight Peaks revealed that they have been planning to film “Goong 2”. Many media and viewers immediately asked them whether the two leads YEH and JJH will act in it. Yesterday Choi Gye Young said: “If “Goong 2” will indeed be produced, then the former leads Yoon Eun Hye and Ju Ji Hoon should certainly continue their roles. Although we understand very well what the fans want, we first have to resolve this dispute with Group Eight properly. Only then will we carry out our plans for “Goong 2”.”

Group Eight didn’t care much about Eight Peaks’ indictment. Yesterday they continued filming scenes with Se7en. They weren’t frightened at all that the broadcast will be forbidden.

Ju Ji Hoon & Song Ji Hyo: Not Accepting Goong Season 2 Performance Proposal??
After the announcement of Eight Peaks' (production company of the popular series "Goong") plan of filiming "Goong Season 2", a lot of attention has been drawn to the question of whether the principal actor/actress of "Goong" will perfom in this 2nd season.

Jeong In Yean on behalf EightPeaks has commented that they have tentatively scheduled for the principal actors in the "Goong Season 1" to continue performing their original role in season 2 :"We have plan for all the major actors in the second season performances. Moreover, as both Yoon Eun Hye and Kim Jeong Hoon are under EightPeaks' flag, there shouldn't be a problem for them performing in Goong 2. "

In "Goong Season 1", both Yoon Eun Hye and Kim Jeong Hoon respective role as Shin Chae-gyung and Lee Yul have gained wide popularity. But that alone is not enough, many fans will still like to see Ju Ji Hoon & Song Ji Hyo performance in Goong Season 2 too.

But on the 24th Nov, Ju Ji Hoon management company has commented: "After the broadcast of Goong, we have rejected the performance in the 2nd season. And our stance still remain unchange."

Song Ji Hyo management company officials said :"We did not receive any invitation from Goong production company (EightPeaks) to perform the second season."

After the broadcast of the" Goong ", Ju Ji Hoon has gain popularity to endorse in many CF. And Song Ji Hyo has also gain a major role as Madam Yhe in MBC "The Book of Three Han".

According to the EightPeak, Goong 2 will air in late 2007 or early 2008. Thus, there are still sufficient time and opportunity for both Ju Ji Hoon and Song Ji Hyo to accept the performance proposal in season 2.

Thus, with all these, we expect great attention drawn to the court battle between "Goong" original production co (Eight Peak) & the production co of MBC "Goong S" (Group Eight).
