150127 Clara revealed to have paid off cancellation fee to her former agency, Galaxia Communications

It was recently reported that actress Clara had paid off the cancellation fee in full to her former agency, Galaxia Communications.

In previous reports, the text messages between Clara and the Chairman of Polaris Entertainment suggested she was in a difficult position, claiming that her contract with Galaxia hadn't ended yet and she had yet to finish paying for the contract cancellation fees.

The starting point of the issue was when Clara signed with Martin Kyle despite the fact that she still was legally signed under Galaxia Communications. In June of 2013, Martin Kyle had a contract in place with Galaxia Communications, promising that they will pay 10,000,000 KRW ( ~$9,300 USD) for 40 months (~$372,000 in total) for Clara's contract cancellation fee. However, Clara cancelled her contract with Martin Kyle just after eight months and was left with 325,000,000 KRW (~ $301,000 USD) in remaining cancellation fees.

With the pressures of having to pay back the cancellation fee and the lack of gigs being booked, Clara decided to sign under Polaris Entertainment in hopes of receiving help in paying back the fees. In the Kakaotalk messages that were previously released by Dispatch, Clara expressed her distress about receiving a certification from Galaxia Communications, stating that she had breached the terms of the contract. Now, it appears she doesn't have to worry about paying the fees any longer.

On January 27, a rep from Clara's former agency told Sports Today, "Clara paid off the cancellation fee in relation to the contract issues that she had with our company last December. The fact that our company keeps being mentioned even though this situation doesn't have anything to do with us puts us in a difficult spot."

Meanwhile, reps of Clara also revealed that she had paid off the cancellation fees to Galaxia Communications and did not receive any help from Polaris Entertainment. Polaris Entertainment stated, "We cannot confirm that Clara paid back the fees in full, but we [can confirm that] we did not pay on her behalf."
