Official Statement on Press Clarification by Client Agency
Our firm was honored to support our client, NineStar Studios Co., Ltd., in relation to a public clarification addressing ongoing media attention and public concern.
On this occasion, Wanwan Siriphan Wongswansawat, Chief Executive Officer of NineStar Studios Co., Ltd., formally presented evidence to clarify the circumstances surrounding the professional separation of Yoko Apasra Lertprasert and her former partner.
The company emphasized that there was no intention to separate the artists. On the contrary, both individuals had been continuously supported with secured projects extending through mid-2025. However, due to subsequent developments, the company incurred significant compensation liabilities approaching eight figures.
With respect to contractual matters, the CEO clarified that revised agreements permitted artists to independently accept individual engagements. Although differences in expectations arose, the company respected the artist’s decision, and the contractual relationship was amicably terminated.
Regarding the “4 Elements” project, the withdrawal decision was made in good faith due to internal uncertainties at the time. No binding agreement had been concluded, and no replacement artist proposals were made.
NineStar Studios expressed sincere regret for any disappointment caused. The company has since implemented organizational reforms to strengthen governance, enhance professional standards, and improve internal processes.
The company also confirmed that it is currently reviewing and preparing to take legal action against individuals responsible for defamatory statements and harmful conduct affecting its reputation and business operations.
Finally, the agency reaffirmed its continued support for Yoko’s career development, highlighting her resilience, professionalism, and dedication. Plans are underway to expand her opportunities internationally, including upcoming original productions to be released in due course.
Our firm remains committed to supporting our clients in navigating complex legal and reputational matters with professionalism, integrity, and clarity.
