Her statement was released after Hook Entertainment dismissed the reports about the unpaid music earnings. It reportedly started the process of organizing the record but still insisted that the actor/singer's profits and earnings were given to him already.

The company mentioned that both parties signed a mutual agreement last year.

Lee Seung Gi released 27 albums and 137 songs throughout his career as a singer.

Hook Entertainment's CEO Used Company's Card on Lavish Spendings

Dispatch dropped the bomb on November 30, releasing reports that show Kwon Jin Young's reckless use of the company card.

From January 2016 to July 2017, the CEO spent over $2 million on personal travels, purchases of branded goods, games, dining in high-class restaurants, and more. She reportedly registered her younger sibling as a fake employee in order to receive $300,000 aside from her yearly salary of nearly $2 million.

It turned out that her mother also used the card and spent the company's funds.

Fans were left infuriated upon knowing the setup as they also found out that Kwon Jin Young forced Lee Seung Gi to use his own card to buy himself food.
