FTIsland has taken legal action against a cosmetic company for infringement of portrait rights.

According to the Seoul Central District Court on 27th, FTIsland claimed that they were used in cosmetic advertisements without any authorization and requested for a claim of 200 million won from DEREON Cosmetic.

Their complaint stated that, “The model contract with DEREON in Korea had already been concluded last April. But DEREON continued to use FTIsland as models without authorization in Japan and recently, even in Malaysia and other Asia regions.”

“After the expiry of the contract, they are still using FTIsland as models in the country even in recent cases. We are requesting for a compensation of 200 million won for the infringement of portrait rights.”
