 MBC, tvN, cited provisional seizure filed in 'Jungnyeoni'..'Stolen Business Performance'
'Jungnyeon' has a legal dispute ahead of its first broadcast.

An MBC official told Sports Chosun on the 12th that the company applied for provisional seizure on the property of the production company based on the 「"Claim for damages due to the violation of the Unfair Competition Prevention Act and unfair destruction of contract negotiations due to the theft of business results" and the court cited all of the applications for provisional seizure on September 10, 2024, judging that all of the company's claims were for reasons"

According to the legal community, the Seoul District Court on the 10th cited MBC's application for seizure against Studio N, Management mmm, and NPO Entertainment, which are the producers of tvN's drama 'Jeongnyeon'. While the court raised its hand to MBC, tvN said "Confirming".

The promotion of "Jeongnyeon" began ahead of the first broadcast on October 13. There is no problem with broadcasting because the broadcasting ban was not disposed of, but concerns about normal broadcasting continued as the dispute was engulfed just before the broadcast.

Previously, 'Jungnyeoni' was known to be broadcast on MBC, but earlier this year, tvN's programming was confirmed. Producer Jeong Ji-in, who was a member of MBC, was planning and developing 'Jungnyeon' with MBC, and there were constant rumors that MBC would continue the lawsuit. A month before the broadcast, the conflict has once again surfaced.

'Jungnyeoni' is a masterpiece with a production cost of 2 billion won per episode, and it is known that there was a disagreement with MBC. As a result, production companies joined hands with CJ ENM-affiliated Studio Dragon, and the organization was changed. It is also known that the problem arose when producer Jeong Ji-in left MBC at the same time as the organization of 'Jeongnyeon'. It is also rumored that MBC had difficulty building the lineup due to the failure to organize 'Jeongnyeon'.

On the other hand, 'Jungnyeoni' is based on the popular webtoon of the same name and tells the stories of those who challenge Gukgeuk after the Korean War in the 1950s. Kim Tae-ri, Shin Ye-eun, Ra Mi-ran, and Jung Eun-chae will appear.
