JAKARTA - Hook Entertainment revealed that they had paid Lee Seung Gi's music royalties. This news became the latest statement after Lee Seung Gi asked for royalty transparency from his musical results for 18 years.

Initially, the agency denied reports of a number of media. They claim to have paid all royalties in 2021 when Lee Seung Gi extended his contract.

This made CEO Hook Entertainment release an apology and will be responsible with Lee Seung Gi. On the other hand, Lee Seung Gi is applying for a contract termination after one year of his exclusive contract continuing.

As is well known, Hook received a request from Lee Seung Gi for musical income during an exclusive contract. We sent relevant data to Lee Seung Gi earlier this week and tried to find an agreement, "said Hook Entertainment, launching Newsen today, Friday, December 16.

"But the amount requested by Lee Seungi Gi is different from the rights he received, so we can't find a point of agreement yet," continued the agency.

Today, we gave Lee Seung Gi his unpaid income of 5.4 billion won consisting of basic income of 1.3 billion won, distribution of 2.9 billion music and interest of 1.2 billion won in full, he said. In total, Lee Seung Gi got 5.4 billion won or equivalent to Rp64 billion.

The agency explained to end this dispute, Hook filed a debt validation lawsuit with the court.

"For whatever reason, Hook sincerely apologizes to Lee Seung Gi for the misunderstanding. We hope that in the future we can resolve it through the court so that there is no doubt," concluded Hook Entertainment.

In addition to unpaid royalties, Lee Seung Gi received gaslighting from CEOof Hook Entertainment. Dispatch reports that every time the actor of The Law Cafe asks for his royalties, he often gets rejected and even threats.
