When there was a misunderstanding about the contract period with actor Kim Seon-ho, the agency directly clarified it.
On the 25th, Kim Seon-ho's agency, Salt Entertainment, said, "In principle, the contents of the contract are confidential between the parties, but due to ongoing issues, we will inform you through an agreement with the parties."
The agency said, "In July 2018, actor Kim Seon-ho and Salt Entertainment had their first meeting with the introduction of a broadcasting official. We decided that it would be difficult for an actor to work with an actor for a long time in a short time, so after mutual agreement between September 2018 and 2019 After working together until September, we decided to discuss the extension contract."
He continued, "After that, we should have discussed the extension contract in June 2019, three months before the contract expired, but the actor's activity increased and the trust between the actor and the company was strong, so it was 2020 while we were working together. The contract was renewed for three years from March to March 2023, and an attached agreement was also drawn up to automatically extend the contract by one year until March 2027 if there is no mutual disagreement.”
In the end, the contract with Kim Seon-ho, announced by the agency, is until March 2023, and additional extensions are possible.
It is very unusual for the management to specifically reveal the contract period with the entertainer it belongs to. Even so, Salt Entertainment stepped forward and disclosed the contract period with Kim Seon-ho, apparently because of netizen A, who previously claimed to be an acquaintance of Kim Seon-ho.
Mr. A is revealing the relevant contents by claiming that Kim Seon-ho is an 'Kim Seon-ho acquaintance' on SNS after the controversy over his privacy with his ex-girlfriend B recently broke out.
On the 25th, Mr. A claimed the unfair contractual relationship between Kim Seon-ho and Salt Entertainment through SNS.
Person A said, "Kim Seon-ho signed an exclusive contract with Salt Entertainment for three years from September 2018 to September 2021, and signed a temporary contract from October 2021. In the temporary contract, Eul (Kim Seon-ho) pays most of the advertising penalty.”
Then, he demanded, "Salt Entertainment should not play media like 'I will go to the end' or 'It's not true' and give an accurate explanation, that is, disclose to the public the provisions of the advertisement penalty in the exclusive contract and temporary contract."
When controversy arose over Mr. A's claim, it is understood that Salt Entertainment directly came forward and revealed that the contract with Kim Seon-ho remained for a considerable period of time.
