The South Korean singer, actor, host and entertainer Lee Seung Gi has demanded his company Hook Entertainment to provide him with transparent records of his payment.
The actor has worked in various dramas such as Brilliant Legacy (2009), My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho (2010), Gu Family Book (2013), You’re All Surrounded (2014), The King 2 Hearts (2012), A Korean Odyssey (2017–2018), Vagabond (2019), and Mouse (2021).
On November 18, the company confirmed that the singer Lee Seung Gi has asked for a clear record of his earnings and payment.
All of it probably appears to be a result of the police’ recent raid on the entertainment agency, which involved search and seizure operations.
