Former

In April 2015, CJ E&M was accused of mobilising young employees to fill the seats of its annual general meeting of shareholders in an attempt to silence shareholders.
In October 2015, CJ E&M and its US-based subsidiary CJ E&M America were sued by Seoul-based music agency DFSB Kollective for copyright infringement and violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act in the Central District Court of California, with the latter seeking to get $50 million. Responding to the suit, CJ E&M accused DFSB of being unhappy on the final decision on a similar lawsuit filed in Seoul in 2011. The first trial was set for 1 March 2016 after the court rejected CJ E&M's motion to dismiss the case. En 2019 estuvo involucrado en escándalo de la cadena de series de supervivencia PRODUCE 101 de Mnet, por haber manipulado los votos de la alineación final de la ultima temporada PRODUCE X 101 y supuesta mente también en la temporada anterior PRODUCE 48, se llevo a cabo una investigación policial del caso ya que los internautas aseguraban que las primeras 2 temporadas también estarían manipuladas y por haber recibido sobornos en lugares para adultos por parte de algunas agencias. Mnet y CJ E&M negaron todo en un principio, la policía confirmo que las ultimas temporadas si estaban manipuladas y que seguirían investigando sobre las primeras. Todo este escándalo llevo a los grupos salidos de esta cadena activos X1 y IZ*ONE a suspender temporalmente sus actividades. El 30 de diciembre el CEO de CJ E&M se disculpo públicamente por sus acciones prometiendo compensar a todos los que fueron afectados y que X1 y IZ*ONE volverían a sus actividades. Pero el no cumplió sus promesas ya que unos días después el 6 de enero anunciaría la disolución oficial de X1, mientras que a IZ*ONE varios programas y cadenas no querían su presencia debido al escándalo. En marzo del 2020 medios y la policía aseguraban que CJ E&M aun no les pagaba lo que les correspondía a X1 por su tiempo activo. Actualmente Mnet y CJ E&M se encuentran bajo fuego por varias cosas.
