As a quick recap, Crying Nutfiled a lawsuitagainst CNBLUE because the idol band previously performed Crying Nut's "Offside" on 'M!Countdown' back in 2010 and the recorded performance was later included in their DVD released in Japan without permission. FNC claimed that the responsibility was not theirs asMnetandCJ E&Mwere in charge of the 'M! Countdown' performance as well as the DVD production. However, Crying Nut remained firm on their stance.
CNBLUE and FNC Entertainment then filed a petitionasking the court to issue an injunction that would prevent Crying Nut from allegedly spreading false information. According to FNC, Crying Nut had been using their homepage as well as various interviews to talk openly to defend their own side, which they felt caused harm to CNBLUE's image. However, that petition has now been rejected by the court.
