“The CEO is always brainwashing Lee Seung Gi by saying ‘You are a ‘minus’ singer. Your fans don’t spend money, but they have many demands. You make money with other things. Think of singing as fan service’. From Lee Seung Gi’s point of view, he prefers not to be criticized rather than paid,” said Lee Seung Gi’s manager as quoted by Dispatch.
Lee Seung Gi’s manager also recorded the conversation during the meeting regarding the discussion of salary transparency. 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,” said the CEO of Hook Entertainment.
Kwon Jin Young also blamed the Hook Entertainment staff. Because according to him Lee Seung Gi did not get paid to sing because the staff were lazy to do the calculations.
“Hey (Lee Seung Gi’s manager), listen to me. Park XX (accounting staff)! Hey! We told Park XX to do it (calculation), but he didn’t do it. He didn’t do it 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 while talking to Executive Director Hook. Kwon Ji Young told him to work for a young artist Hook Entertainment and told him a career Lee Seung Gi is over.
