Korean Drama 'Ya-Wang' copyright infringement dispute


Korea drama ‘Ya-Wang’ (Queen of Ambition), which was ended April 2013, is facing a copyright dispute.

Korean TV & Radio Writers Association announced that they expelled the writer for copyright infringement and the drama production company and the writer opposed strongly.

The company argued that the story was based on original cartoon named ‘Dae-Mul’ which was published 7 years ago and it was pretty popular. It also added that this copyright dispute and expulsion was unreasonable.
The writer who was expelled is preparing for a lawsuit to stand against the Association.

Ya-Wang’s writer was changed before it was produced because of writer’s story and schedule. Company claimed that the former writer and Association took this issue for unfair reasons.
