Meanwhile, Lee Seung-gi and Hook Entertainment clash over the non-payment of audio source settlement controversy.

Recently, Lee Seung-gi’s side sent a content certification requesting an answer in this regard through a legal representative.
Hook Entertainment said, “When the exclusive contract with Lee Seung-gi ended in 2021 and the exclusive contract was signed again, both parties confirmed the details of the settlement and settled the financial-debt relationship, and wrote an agreement confirming facts of’ such.” According to Mr. Lee, we are once again carefully examining the settlement of the substantial amount of revenue that Hook Entertainment has paid to Mr. Lee with experts.”
He continued, “The statement that Mr. Lee has never paid for the audio source is different from the truth. If there is any wrong work, we will correct it and take responsibility.”
