Controversies

2019: Contract ruled invalid for Lai Kuan-lin

On June 17, 2021, the Seoul Central District Court ruled in Lai Kaun-lin's favour and ended his contract with Cube Entertainment. This brought to a close a 2 year dispute that started in July 2019 when Lai requested to terminate his contract. One of the claims Lai made was that Cube Entertainment had sold his artist management rights in China to a third party without notifying him. The judge agreed with Lai and deemed the contract invalid. Lai also claimed Cube scheduled conflicting events that he could not attend and impersonated the signature of Lai Kuan-lin's father.[167][168][169]
