Writer Ji, who participated within the session of SBS’ Friday-Saturday drama “Payback”, began claiming the copyright of the novel “Payback”. The drama’s manufacturing firm and author Kim Won Seok mentioned that it was “false information” and heralded a powerful response.
On Jan twenty third, Ji uploaded an publicity submit associated to the session of SBS’ “Payback” (written by Kim Won Seok, directed by Lee Won Tae) via his/her SNS account, which is operated underneath the pseudonym “Lee Oh Ha”.
Ji revealed that he/she was launched to author Kim Won Seok by his/her buddy (reporter A), signed a three-month contract and was answerable for consulting for “Payback” in December 2019. Ji claimed that he/she had “the copyright of the novel and the film” throughout the contract course of at the moment, however the novel was not printed.
Ji claimed that he/she helped author Kim for months even after the set session interval and took part within the writing, resembling establishing conditions and even writing traces. Nevertheless, when the drama manufacturing didn’t happen for years, he/she tried to publish the novel “Payback” first in early 2022, however author Kim requested me to publish the novel after the drama is over.

Ji complained, “Writer Kim tried to change the concept of the drama into a ‘simple revenge play’ rather than a ‘prosecution reform’. I demanded that my consulting fee be paid and that all of my story be removed from the work, but writer Kim’s side avoided responding, and the drama was suddenly decided to air.“
Ji “shot” author Kim and A, “The composition and setting of almost all scenes in ‘Payback’ are about my life. They try to make money and become famous by copying other people’s ideas and lives.“
In response to Ji’s claim, Red Nine Pictures, the production company of “Payback”, defined, “Ji’s declare that his/her rights had been unfairly violated is just not true in any respect.“

The manufacturing firm mentioned, “The manufacturing firm and author Kim Won Seok obtained session from Ji. A session contract was signed for this and the session price was paid.“
The manufacturing firm added, “The drama ‘Payback’ is a artistic work created by the manufacturing firm and author Kim Won Seok with some huge cash and energy over time. In the long run, within the occasion of spreading false info or elevating irresponsible suspicions about ‘Payback’, we plan to reply strongly via most civil and legal measures.“
