After Stardom Entertainment released their press release regarding Block B's lawsuit against them, the group has released their own statement refuting many of the company's claims.
Stardom Entertainment explained that the company company has been paying the group according to their contract and that any lack of payments was due to the group not making any money. "This is false. The actual truth will be revealed in court," Block B's statement said.
Block B also called out Stardom Entertainment for lying about Mr. Lee falsely claiming to be the company's CEO. "They are just trying to deny responsibility. Stardom has explicitly and implicitly agreed to use the title CEO for Mr. Lee from the beginning," they said.
In regards to other issues brought up by Stardom entertainment, Block B has refuted the validity of their statement, dismissing it as the company's attempt to distract people from the real issues at hand.
"We ask that Stardom stop making comments that mislead the media and the public and apologize for causing our fans to worry," Block B stated.

Block B, fighting!!!!
Love these guys so real and down to earth. I'm sure things will work out in their favor!
Disbanding though? This is totally different from DBSK because the group isn't divided. With how popular these guys are I'm sue another agency would pick them up. ^_^
Block B Fighting!!
Oh, my boys T.T Stay strong!
I hope everything works out for them :\
^this article.
I think all BBC's and, well, anybody with an ounce of common sense would have taken Stardom's statement as a joke. We're all beyond familiar with the fact that entertainment companies simply try to cover up the situation.
This is why I love Block B, they're real; the fact they refuted the validity of Stardom's statement is something I'm proud of.
And for those who think they may disband after this, think about JYJ's situation. That was pretty damn terrible, but even then they were able to sign with a new company. Don't you think that Block B, being individually talented and also talented as a group, will be unable to find a new company or label? Even if they separate I don't think it's the last we will hear from them.
BBC's got your back Block B.
Hwaiting!
last time as 'Block B', yes. They may stay together and find another label, but they will have to do it with a new name
Man!! this sucks. I really like this groups music. Well, hopefully everything will work out for everyone.
:(
I also doubt that they weren't making money. They have tons of fans (including me)! I know Block B's side is believable because they are the ones who are experiencing it. >0<
Block B fighting!
I have a hard time believing they didn't make money. A group that's won awards, is not making money? Really? These guys have fans everywhere. Come on now.
I feel so sorry for them! It must be so hard for them right now
What?! They did such a great job and their agency didn't pay them?! WTF?!
Oh come on! Why don't you just pay them?
My gosh...
Money does makes the world go round... and crazy.
Man. Who said they are disbanding? Do you people even read the news properly? xd
They sound pretty confident, hope they have some evidence to back this up in court.
I'd say its a pretty damn likely possibility. No matter who wins. If a group is suing their agency they are probably not going to be working together in the future, and since the agency owns the group they either replace all the members or disband it entirely.
wow hope they win
wait what?.......theyre gonna disband?
they'd better win the case, or things get ugly. all you people know what i mean.
D: NO! You can't disband! They are my babies!
Please don't disband, Block B!! ;A;
I believe im them... Stardom is beginning to remind me of CCM for some reason, I just hope that Block b won't disband :'( That would be sad, but I'm worried that they're serious disbanding since their twitter username...
