한국저작권위원회분쟁조정본부

Dear administrator:
I am native Korean, living in US over 50 years and started to "Search the Root" for almost 15 years. Finally, I achieve the goal and published my finding as a book. First in English and then Korean language. I met a schemer in Korea.  
I sent an email to the WIPO Arbitration May 11th as follow:
I have been waiting for over two weeks. Since I haven't heard any reply from the publisher, 국학자료원 새미; Kookhak.kr., I declare that the original contract is moot. 
Followings are the reasons.
First:  Scheme of publisher’s fraud had been progressed from very beginning:
Since I proclaimed that I am searching for the root of Korean history, wrote lots of essay and published the books, worked as a columnist to the Korean American Professors’ News Paper, my reputation spread out to the historians in Korea. It is apparent the publisher, 국학자료원 새미; Kookhak.kr. 
October 1st, 2024.  As I looking for a publisher in Korea, Prof. XX introduced Mr. Chung senior to me.  @. My words:  I have found the beginning of Gojoseon that no one has been able to find, and I dedicate it to the descendants of Gojoseon living in Korea.
It is equivalent to the Discovery of Troy ruin or king Tut's tomb in western Culture.
I also revealed many new theories; The etymology of Ceylon, Singapore, Manila, Go game (바둑(圍碁. 行. Go) so on.
I named the Title of my New Theory: “고조선. 壇君朝鮮 始末考.모솔, 이돈성 李燉聖 편술” that is Dangun Joseon: Beginning to End.  
October 9th, 2024.
Mr. Chung senior: After seeing my manuscript, he provided estimated cost.
My answer: Ok, I will work with you
Mr. Chung senior:  I will make precious jade with all my heart.
I was delighted to hear such pleasant remark. I made up my mind by then.   
October 16th, 2024.
My answer: Please send me the contract form.
Mr. Chung senior: It will take some time. My answer: Ok. I will be waiting. 
Mr. Chung senior stepped back. His son stepped in and started to communicate with me.  Since I made a gentlemen’s agreement already with his father, I signed the contract and paid full amount; Korean Won “10,000,000 원,  that was $7,170” without service charge (I paid service charge).  I didn’t pay attention onto the word of Mr. Chung senior; “it would take some time to receive the contract”. I thought they use one set of contract form.  But received two different terms of contracts: Korean and English. 
By looking back, they made a new contract for me; Korean and English as soon as they read my mind. Since living in US for long time, I was possessed by the title also and deceived.  국학 자료원 (韓國學研究所) means the National Institute of Korean Studies- by Google translate. 
Those two forms of contract are very different. (See attached the contracts’ 9/03 & 10/03/2024. These dates are way before both parties had made any agreements)
Since Mr. Chung as CEO started to be working with me, he put Mr. Han Sang-Ji as a worker in between. He was a decoy. I had lots of problems and had to exchange many emails for two months. They counted those exchange as a round of editing service. 
Second: problem in Communication from the beginning: Name of the word processing apps. 
I wish someone familiar with this issue read my email communications with the publisher. 
In short, they published my work as sub-par.  
1. page 10-11. is same as in page 399-400. Author’s bio and same image of mine are placed in two places. One in dust jacket and another in page 399
2. page 31. 음력이란 은력의 다른 사음(殷陰)자다.
3. page 59 백익작전(伯益作井)이 라 했다->백익작정
4.page 91  진(辰)자는 동쪽 또는 아침을 뜻한다. 진(辰fá /bhiæt bhiæt. 화 빛) 훤히 밝다는 뜻이고, ‘큰 진이 해(sun)다(大辰者何), 또한 별이다. 큰진이북극성이다’라고했다.
Those are a few examples in the first 100 pages.
Mr. Chung did not recognize his wrongdoing. He refused to accept his misstates and sent me through the email. 
Third: As I asking the reason of delayed publication on April 17th, he said:
Scheduled to be published next Friday. I apologize for the delay. This year is our company's 50th anniversary, so there were a lot of publications, so it was late.
I checked the printed version today and handed it over to the bindery. 
I promised to have it done by next Friday, so please wait a little longer. 
I thought they were taking the last step as stated in the contract as follow:
Party B violated Article 6 Decisions Necessary for Publication and Editorial Rights KOOKHAK, reserves the right to decide details relating to publication, such as system, binding, the number of copies to be published, time of next impression, sales ways, etc. KOOKHAK reserves the right to revise the manuscript via design, editing and correction so that the manuscript is suitable for publication. The principle of correction shall be made by KOOKHAK. Upon receipt, Don S. Lee, MD. shall verify the revision finally.
I expected a copy of book as a sample to the author for the final approval as did Xlibris.
Instead, they printed 500 copies for me and sent 2 copies of book by airmail. It was out of my expectation. They violated the contract. I decided to raise my voice through the WIPO.
So far, I received 500 copies of Books. Mr.  Chung sent me text message on April 30. 24 copies through the ship, and 2 copies through the airmail. Those 2 and 24 copies could be out of 500 copies. As of June 1st, I have not received 24 copies yet. 
I propose a new form of contract for your consideration to mediate. 
If all possible, I would like to have your email. I will send you the contracts and more information. Mine is mosollee@gmail.com.  
Sincerely. 
Lee Mosol.  Don S. Lee.
