On July 10th, the family of the deceased motorcyclist involved in Daesung’s car accident was contacted for an interview with Dispatch News, and it’s been revealed that both the family and YG Entertainment are finding it difficult to reach a compromise.
Family member ‘A’ said, “It’s as if our child is being killed twice. I can only cry.”
Thus far, YG Entertainment contacted the family only twice. The first time was when YG Entertainment delivered their side of the story. It wasn’t until the second time that both parties were able to share their respective sides. Because of the clash of opinions that resulted during the second meeting, the two parties are currently not keeping in contact with each other.
‘A’ continued, “At first, they said that they would do everything they could. They asked us to trust them, as they would cover for all the funeral costs and hand us funds for compensation. Because they had the name of ‘YG Entertainment’, we believed them. Now that we are actually taking the formal steps to be recompensed, everything has changed. I feel as if we are being ignored.”
The two parties are currently clashing on three points, the biggest being how much the total for the settlement money should be. The family suggested an amount that’s standard for deaths related to car accidents, while YG Entertainment prepared an amount “enough for consolation”. Unfortunately, the difference is inevitably vast.
‘A’ said, “What is a settlement money? It’s money that’s being traded for our child’s death. What could we possibly ask for with that money? The amount that YG is offering to us, we can’t just accept it indifferently. They offered an amount that makes our child’s death so regrettable; it just isn’t enough.”
The second issue lies in YG’s changed attitude. With tears, the family members expressed, “Money is not important. If our child comes back alive, then none of that matters. What we want is an honest heart. All YG Entertainment did was contact us in a one-sided manner with how much they were willing to settle for, and that makes us feel humiliated.”

‘A’ said, “They asked us whether or not we saw SBS’s ‘We Want to Know the Truth‘. They claimed that Daesung did not hit a normal passerby, that someone was already dying. I wanted to get up from that seat and leave the scene. Yes, our child is responsible for the situation, but is that really something to say now?”
‘A’ continued, “The police have already stated that the reason for his death was because of Daesung’s accident. But YG is using what was broadcast on television to raise another point. I felt so dark after hearing that. I wondered if YG was not believing in what the police was saying.”

For now, it seems that a compromise between the two parties is out of the question. The family said that because YG is not being active in the pursuit of a compromise, it will be hard to reach one.
The family expressed, “We’re not even sure anymore whether they really want to settle the issue with us. This isn’t some kind of trade. We cannot accept how they just dropped a sum on us and told us to contact them if we agreed. We’re so confused as to what they’re actually thinking.”
The family also revealed a shocking statement made by YG Entertainment that made them question whether or not the company even cares for Daesung at all. They said, “YG told us that they had nothing to lose. Even without Daesung, Big Bang is promoting just fine, and they said that they had time because it would take a while for Daesung to return anyway. They said they weren’t in a rush. If they’re like this to Daesung, what must they feel for our child…? I could not find an ounce of respect from them.”
Dispatch contacted YG Entertainment for a statement, and representatives responded, “We are doing our best for the compromise. There aren’t any particular differences in opinions. We are mediating and balancing each other’s sides.”
