On the 17th, the Seoul Central District Court will hold a trial to confirm the existence of a debt filed by Hook against Lee Seung-ki.
In November 2022, Lee Seung-gi sent a certificate of content from Hook, saying he had not received a single penny of music settlement in 18 years since his debut, and sued Hook officials, including CEO Kwon Jin-young, on charges of violating the law on aggravated punishment of specific economic crimes (business embezzlement) and violating the law on aggravated punishment of specific economic crimes (fraud).
Then, Hook filed a lawsuit to confirm the existence of a debt after paying Lee Seung-ki a total of 5.4 billion won, including 2.9 billion won in unpaid settlement and 1.2 billion won in interest. Lee protested against the company's notice that it would unilaterally give the company the amount it decided and end the case, and said he would donate all the settlement money except for the settlement money that came in now and the legal fees to be received in the future. In fact, Lee Seung-gi has been steadily donating to Seoul National University Children's Hospital.
However, Hook claimed that the amount of music settled to Lee Seung-ki so far was around 50 billion won, and the omission occurred only in the music revenue. In addition, the purpose of the claim was changed, saying that the commission worth 900 million won should be returned because the settlement of advertising activities was paid more than it actually was.
On the other hand, Lee Seung-gi countered that Hook should receive 3 billion won in settlement, including advertising agency fees and music and record revenues, as he has continued to pay 10% of advertising revenue while hiding the fact that the advertising agency fee rate has been lowered from 10% to 7%.

Then "Hook claims that they have money to settle, but they cannot give it to them after the expiration date of three years." 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"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."
