It is the court case that is tearing all K-pop fans up with frustration – the members of B.A.P versus their talent agency TS Entertainment, with the two parties locked in a legal dispute centering on financial issues.
Now I am no expert in Korean law, but the chances are this case may well drag on for some time, and you can be sure that until it comes to a head, the chances of a B.A.P comeback are slim to none.
