Lee Seung-gi Calls for Fair Treatment of Junior Artists in Hook Entertainment Dispute

On the morning of the 15th, a hearing in the 20th part of the civil agreement at the Seoul Central District Court held a hearing to confirm the existence of a debt filed by Hook Entertainment (hereinafter referred to as Hook) against Lee Seung-gi.
On the same day, Hook claimed that Lee Seung-ki had settled the amount of the sound source of about 50 billion won and was omitted only from the sound source revenue.
In response, Lee Seung-gi expressed his frustration while reading the letter he prepared himself.
Lee Seung-gi said, "Thank you for allowing me to check the details of music, music, music, concert, advertising revenue, etc., which have not been properly settled for more than 18 years. There was all the data that Hook said he didn't have. "I feel frustrated and sad that it is hard to express in words when I see it full of things that are not true."
The essence of starting this trial is that he did not know the existence of the music settlement fee and requested the settlement details, but he repeatedly lied. The so-called `Prevention of Lee Seung-gi' Act was passed, allowing agencies to disclose accounting books. It's late, but I'm glad this law was made"Hook claims that he has money to settle, but he cannot give it to him after the expiration of the three-year statute of limitations. If Hook is right, it means that if he deceives the artist for three years without providing accounting books and settlement details, he does not have to pay the settlement. For me, who is not familiar with the law, it is hard to understand", he pointed out.
It is said that the rights and interests of celebrities are better than in the past, but we cannot fully rely on the agency. Considering that rookies' standard contracts are seven years, it is practically impossible for artists to raise settlement issues within the extinctive prescription. Please take a look at friends who debut at a young age for their dreams like me so that they don't suffer from settlement payments repeatedly."
After the trial, he also drew attention by saying, `We have not received any contact from Hook.'

Lee Seung-gi refuted that the music revenue from October 2009 to September 2022 alone amounted to about 9.6 billion won, excluding the music revenue for five years after debuting from June 2004 to August 2009.
Lee Seung-gi appeared as a defendant on the second pleading date earlier, hoping that there would be no victims like me again. Through this incident, I hope that junior celebrities who debuted at a young age like me will no longer suffer similar disadvantages" in his voice.
In addition, a transcript of the conversation between Lee Seung-gi and director Hook A was released at the third hearing in September, and director A gaslighted that Lee Seung-gi spent a lot of sales money to promote him even though he was a minus singer.
