Production
editIn January 2019, YG Studioplex, the drama production affiliate of YG Plus, belatedly announced that it has terminated its co-CEO Cho Jung-ho and filed a case against him. According to the company, ex-CEO Cho made an illegal contract to sell the distribution rights of Love Alert in Japan to an unnamed Japanese distribution company through his own firm Barami Bunda Inc., which was a co-owner in YG Studioplex. Cho also stole much money from investors, one of those was the drama's co-producer The Groove Company.[12]
