Actor Kim Bum has been sued 500 million won, equivalent to nearly 430,000 dollars, by his former agency on charges of violating his working contract.
I Entertainment submitted a written complaint to court on Monday, claiming that Kim cut off all communication before his contract ended with them and started working with another manager.
I Entertainment also demanded compensation worth 160 million won and 36 million won from actress Lee Chung-ah and actor Yoo Yeon-seok, respectively, accusing them of the same charges.
