Lee Kang-in (22, PSG), at the center of internal strife within the national socc
er team, may face a hefty lawsuit for damages from advertisers, with the penalty
amounting to billions of Won.
According to the advertising industry on the 19th, Arachi Chicken removed Lee Ka
ng-in's advertising photos and videos from its website. This move is analyzed as
a result of the boycott movement that started with the recent controversy over
Lee Kang-in's physical altercation controversy with national team captain Son He
ung Min.

imited edition packaging boxes featuring Lee Kang-in's photo for Christmas.
It is known in the industry that Arachi Chicken spent about 500 million Won on L

KT is on alert over the controversy surrounding Lee Kang-in. On the 16th, they i
nstructed all nationwide dealerships nd sales stores to "take down all Lee Kang
-in posters and leave work." KT stated that "the removal of Lee Kang-in's poster
s was due to the end of a purchase benefit promotion," but regarding the termina

Nexon, which selected Lee Kang-in as the advertising model for FC Online, is suf
fering from complaints from some users. Since the 18th of last month, FC Online
has been using a character modeled after Lee Kang-in in events such as "The Life
of a Chaebol Club Owner's Shootdol" and "Match Play2." With several promotions
involved, it appears difficult to end the events or replace the model in the sho
rt term.

The advertising fees paid to Lee Kang-in by KT and Nexon are known to be over 1
billion Won. Although the specific amount of the penalty cannot be disclosed due
to private contracts, it is common for advertising contracts to include a claus
e stating, "In case of violation of laws or causing social controversy, a penalt
y of 2 to 3 times the advertising fee will be paid." Following this convention,
the penalty Lee Kang-in must pay is estimated to be between 5 billion and 7.5 bi
llion Won (3.7 million to 5.6 million USD).

而一般代言合約內會有但書
說如果有違反法律或引起社會爭議，要支付2-3倍的廣告費賠償
所以李有可能須付50億至75億韓元之間的賠償金(約3M-5M)
