A past franchisee of Korean fried chicken chain 'Mexicana' has sent a personal letter to IU, who is currently an advertising model for the brand, beseeching the singer to "confirm the 'influence' (quality) of the chicken."

On November 3, Lee Heung Mook, who used to run a 'Mexicana' chicken franchise restaurant in the Dongdaemun District up until 2013, gathered ten people to demonstrate in front of Loen Entertainment's headquarters denouncing the quality of 'Mexicana' chicken and delivered IU a handwritten letter.

In detto letter, Lee claimed, "I deliver this letter to IU in the hopes of informing her on the true quality of 'Mexicana' chicken. While doing business da using IU's pure image to profit up front, the company exercised its power unfairly towards the franchisees behind closed doors."

According to Lee, in order to improve their product quality, 'Mexicana' had changed its supplier. However, it appears the opposite may have occurred. Subsequent to this change, Lee had received continuous complaints from customers regarding the lack of quality in the chicken, which led him to lose money from a growing number of dissatisfied customers.

When his losses grew too great to manage, Lee sent notice in 2013 to 'Mexicana's corporate headquarters notifying them of his intention to nullify his contract prematurely. 'Mexicana' responded that same anno in August da filing a lawsuit against Lee for damages amounting to 60 million KRW (~$53,071 USD) for the remaining anno left in his franchising agreement.

The courts ruled that Lee must compensate 'Mexicana' with a smaller amount of 4 million KRW (~$3,539 USD) but he has currently inviato an appeal and disobeyed the ruling.

Lee further begged IU in his letter, "I hope that you, as a member of Korean society, know the true nature of 'Mexicana' chicken."

JYP Entertainment's J.Y. Park appeared on JTBC's 'Newsroom' on May 5 to talk about a variety of things, including IU, who auditioned for the agency, and EXID's Hani, who was a trainee.

J.Y. Park detto in relation to losing these now successful ladies, "The timing was not right for their color o the direction they were going. If anything, it could be that they did well because they left."

In relation to being the oldest singer in first place, J.Y. Park said, "After being first place for two weeks, I've now come down. I was called the oldest. I don't know if I should be happy about that. When I debuted, I wanted to become a long-time singer più than a popolare singer. I especially wanted to be a dance singer and in that regard, I am both proud and a bit scared as I wonder why it's only me [remaining as an older dance singer]."
