Lee Sang-min proposed a '12-year contract with no signing bonus' to the members of C.I.V.A.

In a video released on the 19rd on the YouTube channel 'Lee Sang-min's Position,' Lee Sang-min expressed his intention to launch a new project, using his reunion with the members of 'God of Music' as a springboard. In the video, he met with C.I.V.A members Kim So-hee and Yoon Chae-kyung and proposed a 12-year activity contract. He made it clear that there would be no signing bonus, emphasizing that everything begins from nothing.

However, the contract terms included a clause requiring members to pay the company 500 million won in the event of a scandal, which drew backlash from the members. Lee Sang-min lightened the situation with a joke, telling them to date or marry in secret.

Lee Sang-min showed special affection for the 'God of Music' members, calling them people to whom he owed a debt of gratitude. He said he would continue the 'God of Music' project and C.I.V.A activities according to the conditions the members want. He also used evasive rhetoric, speaking as if he were a third party, adding laughter to the scene.

When producer Park Jun-soo made a surprise appearance, Lee Sang-min briefly left the scene, but soon demonstrated his commitment to the project by directly asking whether the name 'God of Music' could be used. He then proposed a contract under the name 'Something Like God of Music' to the director, displaying witty negotiation.

Meanwhile, 'Lee Sang-min's Position,' featuring Lee Sang-min's personal views and various content, is released every Wednesday at 6 p.m. on YouTube.
