Lee Seung Gi Signs New Agency after Hook Entertainment’s Conflict.

The conflict between Lee Seung Gi and Hook Entertainment started when the actor asked for a transparent record of his earnings. He accused the company that the actor has not received a penny for his music.

But the allegations by the actor were denied by Hook Entertainment and they insisted that they have paid the actor everything he owed. Later on, the legal representative came forward and gave a statement that said that the actor has received nothing for his music from the agency.

After the statement was out, the CEO of Hook Entertainment apologized and stated that she will “take full responsibility for the dispute with Seung Gi.”

After the long ongoing argument, the actor was paid all the unpaid amounts which summed up to 5.4 billion KRW (~ $4.1 million USD). The actor later on personally came forward and gave a statement saying he will donate all the amount received from Hook Entertainment except the legal expenses.

The actor, later on, sued Hook Entertainment’s CEO Kwon Jin Young, and the former and present directors for not making the actor aware of his music profits and also deceiving him of his modeling profits.
