[ASKKPOP] Clara's side speaks up in more detail about the sexual harassment case against Polaris Entertainment

Eyebrows are being raised at the vast differences in statements between actressClaraandPolaris Entertainment.  Previously, it was reported that Polaris Entertainment wassuing Clarafor unknown reasons and more recently, it was revealed that she hadfiled a civil suitagainst them to nullify her contract while claiming she had felt sexually harassed. In retaliation, Polaris Entertainment claimed on January 15 that she had threatened them to void her contract or she would say she had been sexually harassed.




On the same day Polaris Entertainmentreleased the long statementabout Clara's threat, her law firm,SW Law, released its own official statement:


"Clara's exclusive company isKoreanaClara, which Clara's parents have established, and the opposite party,IlkwangPolaris, is an agency company that was delegated a portion of authority from KoreanaClara to enter into casting negotiations for Clara's CF and movie appearances.


On that note, Ilkwang Polaris is not Clara's agency.  Furthermore, KoreanaClara was first established after which KoreanaClara and Ilkwang Polaris signed an agency contract; the rumor going around that Clara signed an exclusive contract with Ilkwang Polaris and then after she started doing well wanted independence from the company is not true.


This case could have been handled civilly as a usual breach of contract and cancellation problem; hence, suing her on the basis of threat was not proper, and it can be conjectured that Ilkwang Polaris sued Clara for [allegedly] threatening them because Clara is a celebrity and they considered that, in the case of disputes with celebrities, a criminal case more than a civil case would be a bigger blow to an opposing party that is a celebrity.  


Clara has actually already underwent a police investigation in two parts that went over 12 hours, resulting in a huge mental and physical trauma, not to mention Clara's mother even received hospital treatment due to trauma.  Despite that, Clara is faithfully fulfilling her schedule for celebrity promotions as planned in order to avoid disappointing the people around her."


Addressing Polaris's claim that Clara went to them in tears to apologize, the law firm stated, "Polaris's lawyer said, 'If you go to the president and apologize, we will cancel your contract,' so believing that, she went to him and apologized; that is all."
