TS Entertainment lawsuit

On September 14, 2019, it was revealed that Sleepy had filed a lawsuit to terminate his contract with TS Entertainment, citing lack of trust after they refused to show him payment documents and a physical copy of his contract. [3] Sleepy also said that he did not receive any payment for his activities until 10 years after his contract was signed.[4]TS later denied these statements, saying all of Sleepy's claims were "false" and that he embezzled funds from the company, which Sleepy denied.[5] The next day, it was announced TS Entertainment was forwarded to prosecution for overdue payments of artists.[6]
