TRIVIA

2017

On February 10, 2017, Cai Xukun filed a lawsuit against his company, Pelias Entertainment, for poor treatment and the right to terminate his contract. Pelias was allegedly in arrears, and the members of SWIN were said to have to pay for all expenses of their activities, including but not limited to their albums and fanmeetings, without being reimbursed. Furthermore, Pelias demanded that each member sign a debt acknowledgment letter for 1.1 million RMB (approximately US$165,000) to share the production costs for Season 2 of Super Idol. In addition, SWIN had to sign an amendment to their original contract within an hour of notice. This new document not only severely shrank the share of the artists' pay, but also extended the term of their contracts.

2018-2019

Soon after the broadcast of Idol Producer, Pelias filed another case in March 2018, to countersue Kun for the breach of contact, asking that he pay the company 1.1 million RMB for liquidated damages and compensation for their losses.^[2] Meanwhile, Pelias demanded for Kun to continue to abide by the terms in the contract, allowing the former to be entitled to 70% of the income Kun earns from dramas, endorsements and variety shows.

The dispute ended on February 2, 2019, with Kun winning the lawsuit.
