“CEO always says, 'You're a minus singer. Your fans never spend money but ask a lot. You make money on other paths (acting, variety). So just think of your singing career like a fan service, ” said manager Lee Seung Gi imitating the CEO's words.
“ She (Kwon Jin Young) washes her brain. If Lee Seung Gi asks about fees or royalties, she will be scolded. Lee Seung Gi chose not to be scolded rather than get paid, ” he explained.
