Yoo Junwon's debut with FantasyBoys has been halted, and his parents are criticizing the agency for its unreasonable contract demands and media play.

On the 24th, Yoo Junwon's parents told this newspaper, "Yoo Junwon has just become an adult and is an individual trainee. Considering the situation, parents have to step forward regarding the contract since he doesn't have an agency to represent him." They clarified, "We never agreed to the contract, so nothing has been finalized. The term 'unauthorized departure' is not appropriate."

They continued, "Even though there was no agreement on the contract, Yoo Junwon faithfully attended company schedules, including performances in Japan. Therefore, saying he made an unauthorized departure while in the midst of contract discussions is not accurate."

In addition, Yoo Junwon's parents refuted the statement from PocketDoll Studio. They emphasized, "PocketDoll Studio announced that we requested a 6:4 profit distribution ratio, but their latest statement shows a 5:5 ratio. This contradicts their own claims."

They further clarified, "We've clearly stated that we had no objections to the 5:5 profit distribution ratio. We urge them to stop distorting the truth."

Moreover, Yoo Junwon's parents criticized the contract clause from PocketDoll Studio that requires artists to bear the burden of personnel expenses. They questioned, "How much are the monthly personnel expenses they're talking about? Whether the executive's words are true or false, we've reached a point where we can't trust them."

They added, "Which parent would easily agree to a contract after hearing this? Nevertheless, we tried to calm ourselves and requested a fair settlement via email that night. However, the next day's conversation brought even more disappointment. After notifying them that we couldn't reach an agreement, we returned home with Junwon. We've never agreed to the contract, so nothing is finalized, and the term 'unauthorized departure' is not accurate. We didn't make an issue out of the settlement."

They expressed their anger, "We're furious at the company's media play, trying to link this issue with the recent FIFTY FIFTY controversy. They need to stop now. In the entertainment industry, where image is everything, if they intended to tarnish his image to the point where he can't be active, they've done enough. For the sake of the kids who are about to debut, they need to stop. All matters should be settled in court, not in the media."

Lastly, they expressed, "Thank you for reading this long statement, and we're truly sorry to Junwon and the kids who are about to debut."
