On the 5th, Hook Entertainment announced, "The contract with Youn Yuh-jung, which began in March 2017, has ended." They added, "We hope to continue to see her in good health and in great works in the future."
On the 17th of last month, reports surfaced that Youn Yuh-jung was leaving the agency. At that time, Hook Entertainment denied the claims, saying, "This is not true," but announced the separation 19 days later.
Hook Entertainment is currently embroiled in a conflict with singer Lee Seung-gi, who has been with the agency for 18 years, over unpaid music royalties. There have been allegations that CEO Kwon Jin-young's use of the corporate card was inappropriate, and the release of recorded conversations has caused a stir. Lee Seung-gi has notified the agency of his intention to terminate his exclusive contract, stating that he has not received any payments.
