Case Lee Seung-Gi who doesn’t get paid a dime as a singer on rotation. Now Dispatch has released a recording when the CEO of Hook Entertainment threatened to kill Lee Seung Gi for demanding pay transparency on Thursday (17/11/2022).
Earlier, Dispatch surprised audiences after revealing that Lee Seung Gi hadn’t been paid as a singer for 18 years, since his debut in 2004.
Lee Seung Gi is believed to have sufficient income from Korean dramas, variety shows and commercials as a popular South Korean artist.
Korean drama star Mouse is also pleased with her income so far. She did not ask for more information about her compensation as a singer. In addition, Hook Entertainment officials called Lee Seung Gi a “minus” singer who brought no profit to the agency.

“The CEO is always brainwashing Lee Seung-Gi saying ‘You’re a ‘minus’ singer. Your fans don’t spend money, but they have a lot of requests. Earnings with other things. Think of singing as fan service.’ From Lee Seung Gi’s point of view, he would rather not be criticized than paid,” said Lee Seung Gi’s manager quoted by Dispatch.
Lee’s manager Seung Gi also recorded the conversation during the salary transparency discussion meeting. In the recording, CEO Kwon Jin Young slams the table and throws a tantrum at Executive Director Hook.
“I swear on my behalf that I will kill him. I will spend the rest of my life trying to kill Lee Seung Gi. That bastard. I swear it,” said the CEO of Hook Entertainment.
Kwon Jin Young also blamed the Hook Entertainment staff. Because according to him Lee Seung Gi wasn’t getting paid to sing because the staff was lazy to do the math.
“Hey (Lee Seung Gi’s manager), listen to me. Park XX (accounting staff)! Hey! We told Park XX to do this (calculation), but he didn’t. He didn’t because that crazy bastard didn’t want to work,” continued the CEO of Hook Entertainment.
In the voice recording released by Dispatch, manager Lee Seung Gi cries as he talks to executive director Hook. Kwon Ji Young told him to work for a young artist Hook Entertainment and told him about a career Lee Seung-Gi it’s over.
