The Korea Entertainment Management Association on Wednesday called on entertainer Clara to refrain from professional activities and warned of possible penalties.

“The issue is all the more serious because it concerns a sensitive issue of feeling sexually degraded, and it is having an effect on the public,” the organization said.

Clara is currently in a legal battle with her agency. She claims that the agency’s chairman made lewd suggestions, while the company argues that she continuously violated the contract.

Saying that she is a public figure at the center of a controversial law suit, the organization said that Clara should act responsibly.

Citing the organization’s earlier ruling on two exclusive contracts that Clara signed in 2012, the organization said it was very unfortunate that she continues to work while the issue is still outstanding.

According to the Korea Entertainment Management Association, Clara signed an agreement that she may face penalties if she causes similar problems in the future and that she forfeits the right to raise objections.

Clara, however, appears unfazed by the developments.

“What could get worse in this situation? We have nothing to say at present,” an associated of Clara was quoted as saying by a local news outlet.

“If there is an official response, it will be coming from the law firm (representing Clara). For the time being, Clara will conduct overseas projects including a film in Hong Kong.”
