The case between Lee Joon-gi and the other side regarding 500 million won is repeating itself.

The Seoul Central District Court held the seventh pleading for claims of damages between Lee Joon-gi and one other opponent. The justice department pointed out that it was hard to see that the cosmetics business had been progressed in detail and the spending of 500 million won couldn't be sure.

The issue of this case is an investment of 500 million won. S Company claims that it invested 500 million won in Lee Joon-gi promising to run a cosmetics business together in 2009. However, it claims that Lee Joon-gi had left the company and moved agencies without a clear opinion. The legal representative for S Company emphasized, "If Lee Joon-gi hadn't agreed to it, it would have been a tough project to progress with".

S Company requested another defendant, his previous agency for evidence of the 500 million. The legal representative for the latter defendant claimed, "This happened a long time ago and the company no longer exists so everything given is all we have".

Lee Joon-gi's legal representative claims that he's never received any sort of payment and that he's never agreed to any kind of business claimed by the defendants and that there was only a 'meeting'.

Previously, last year, Lee Joon-gi attended the sixth pleading but didn't attend the seventh one. His legal representative claims, "Lee Joon-gi himself won't be present as witness from now on".

The next pleading will be held in March.
