It has been revealed that singer Lee So-ra has initiated a seizure procedure against her former agency head regarding the rights related to 45 tracks, including her representative song "The Wind Blows."
According to Sports Kyunghyang on the 10th, Lee filed an application for a seizure order at the Incheon District Court in February last month, targeting the neighboring copyright of 45 tracks, including "The Wind Blows," held by Kim, the former agency head. The court granted the application on the 13th of the same month.
Neighboring copyright is a right recognized for a singer's performance or album production, separate from the copyright regarding the lyrics and composition of a song. Due to this seizure order, Kim can no longer dispose of the rights related to the said albums at will.
The targets of the seizure are known to include the rights related to her sixth studio album "Eyebrow Moon," which features "The Wind Blows," as well as her seventh and eighth studio albums and a remake album.
Kim is a figure who previously led Lee's agency. The two have maintained a long-standing relationship, with Kim also listed in the production credits for Lee's fifth studio album "Sora's Diary," released in 2002.
Meanwhile, Lee debuted in 1993 as a member of the group Stranger and transitioned to a solo career in 1995. She has since been loved for hit songs such as "I Am Happy," "Proposal," "Please," and "The Wind Blows." She is currently active under Marehim Entertainment.
