Actor Park Seo Joon sues restaurant; claims unauthorised use of photo
Park Seo Jun sues the restaurant where a famous K-drama was shot
Seo Jun's drama 'What's Wrong With Secretary Kim' was shot at the same soy sauce marinated crab restaurant that the actor has recently sued. As per Sports Chosun, the star sued the restaurant for continuous use of his photos after being requested not to.
The legal team stated that, 'The lawsuit began by continuing malicious acts that did not respond to requests to remove the portal site search advertisements and banners afterwards. The estimated damage amount is 6 billion won, considering the advertising model fee, but the actual lawsuit amount is 60 million won, considering the defendant's business scale and various circumstances."

The Actors company also added to the statements, saying that they will also be taking strict and legal action against those who spread criticism and hate towards the '
Dream High
' star. Soon after the news of his lawsuit began spreading online, many netizens criticised the actor for targeting small businesses and suing the restaurant. They extended on the statement, saying that the lawsuit was valid as per court orders.
Park Seo Jun's side also explained that another complaint is being filed against the restaurant under malicious ridicule and slander.
Why exactly is the lawsuit happening?
Previously, the actor was shot while eating a crab from the restaurant in one of his popular K-drama episodes. Ever since then, the restaurant has been using the specific clip as well as photos of the popular actor in order to promote their food to the public without getting legal permission. Even after continuously being requested to stop the use of his face for promotional matters, the restaurant did not respond and continued on with its actions, resulting in the lawsuit.

Want to bring Disneyland to Gurgaon, says Saini, unveils plan for big tourism push
Gurgaon: The city could play host to India's Disneyland amusement park, chief minister Nayab Singh Saini has said, unveiling ambitious plans to develop areas off the Western Peripheral (KMP) Expressway as tourist destinations. Saini said govt was in talks with officials from Disney and has identified 500 acres of land near Pachgaon Chowk in Manesar for the project. A Disneyland in NCR will be "game-changing", the CM said, after meeting Union culture and tourism minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat in Delhi on Wednesday. He said the entertainment hub will bring economic, cultural and social benefits, not only to the state, but the country too. "The project will generate thousands of direct and indirect employment opportunities and bring major changes to the area. It will attract international tourists too," Saini said.

"The upcoming Global City project in Gurgaon will be another milestone for the region. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pistol de sudură laser multifuncțional siginificant Află mai multe Undo Hence, Gurgaon is the most suitable location for Disneyland. The site in Manesar is strategically located along KMP Expressway and Haryana Orbital Rail Corridor (HORC). People from across NCR can easily visit," Saini said. The Global City project is a 1,000-acre mini-city that the state govt plans to build across sectors 36, 36B, 37 and 37B. Apart from links to the Delhi-Gurgaon and Dwarka expressways, the project will be based on a walk-to-work concept, and all facilities and services will be easily available. Separately, Haryana govt is planning to expand the scale of International Gita Mahotsav, an annual event in Kurukshetra, and organise three melas, instead of one, at Surajkund every year. "Considering the popularity of the Surajkund Mela, govt is planning to organise a Diwali mela and a book fair at Surajkund as well… We have also sought support from the Union tourism ministry and the central govt to organise Gita Mahotsav on a grand scale," he said. The CM added, "Together, these projects will firmly establish Haryana as a tourism hub." Disneyland, if it goes ahead, will be the first to be built in collaboration with the animation giant in India. Earlier this Feb, the Maharashtra govt had announced plans to develop a park inspired by the Disneyland theme in Navi Mumbai. In 1989, then Haryana CM Om Prakash Chautala had proposed to set up Disneyland in Gurgaon but the project was eventually shelved amid opposition by other political parties and farmers whose land would have to be acquired. INLD national president Abhay Singh Chautala said on Thursday BJP must explain its change in stand on establishing Disneyland in the city. "BJP was supporting INLD govt in 1989 but it sided with Congress to oppose the project back then," Abhay said.

This time, he plays a seasoned ninth‑year associate at Kyungmin Law Firm who lives a peaceful life without worrying about changing paths to establish his own company.

In the K-drama, Lee Jong Suk is supported by fellow actors including Moon Ga Young, Kang You Seok, Ryu Hye Young, and Im Seong Jae. Park Seung Woo is the director behind the series, making a long-awaited reunion with Lee Jong Suk after previously getting fame with W: Two Worlds Apart. Meanwhile, Lee Seung Hyun acts as the writer for the show, set to run over 12 episodes. Law and the City was previously known as Seocho-dong, which is the Korean name of the show, displaying the location of their office where 5 skilled lawyers, termed The Associate Attorneys Avengers, walk to every day. It will air every weekend, at 9 pm KST (5:30 pm IST) on tvN domestically and will be available in selected regions globally via Disney+ (JioHotstar in India). Law and the City Plot Ahn Ju Hyeong (Lee Jong Suk) is a celebrated associate at his law firm thanks to his logical and brutally honest approach. He is in a very comfortable position with the girl he likes working at the same office, as well as a peaceful atmosphere with his colleagues while earning a record salary. However, things start to change for the worse one day, making him question his goals in life. Previously, actor Lee Jong Suk revealed that he chose this project after doing many complex roles, as he wanted to tell the story of people. He claims, unlike other legal dramas, which deal with dangerous situations, Law and the City tells the story of other people. Co-star Moon Ga Young affirmed his thoughts.
