Hook Entertainment CEO Kwon Jin-young apologized after being accused of stealing singer Lee Seung-gi's (36) digital music proceeds.
On the afternoon of the 21st, CEO Kwon Jin-young said in a statement, "Recently through the media, there are bad stories about our company and that individual, so many people have no face, regardless of whether it is true or not." I am ashamed and apologetic.”
At the same time, CEO Kwon said, "It is our duty to confirm the facts in detail about the stories that are currently being reported in the media or floating in the world, but as I said in the previous press release, we are currently in the process of sorting out the facts to confirm the facts, and we will be legally involved in the future." I refrain from expressing my position because there is room for it to be dealt with as an issue.”
"If Hook Entertainment or that person's legal responsibilities are clearly identified in the future, we will not back down or evade and take full responsibility," he said. I will do my best,” he added.
Previously, Lee Seung-gi sent a proof of contents to the agency, saying that he had not been properly settled for the music proceeds during the 18 years of signing an exclusive contract with Hook Entertainment.
Prior to this, Hook Entertainment was at the center of controversy after being seized and searched by the National Police Agency.
