Lee Seung Gi revealed to have demanded a transparent record of his earnings and payments from his agency Hook Entertainment

According to media outlet reports on November 18, singer/actor Lee Seung Gi has requested that his agency, Hook Entertainment, provide him with a transparent record of his earnings and payments.

Insiders commented, "Lee Seung Gi's side has determined that there may have been issues regarding his earnings and payments from his entertainment promotions. The request, filed through a legal representative, is demanding that a clear record of administrative fees, expenses, and balances be disclosed to Lee Seung Gi."

If Hook Entertainment fails to meet Lee Seung Gi's demands, or if Lee Seung Gi encounters problems with the record provided by Hook Entertainment, the situation could develop into a legal battle over the legitimacy of Lee Seung Gi's exclusive contract. 

The news comes as a surprise to many fans and entertainment industry affiliates, due to the fact that Lee Seung Gi has been under Hook Entertainment for 18-years, from his debut until now.

Meanwhile, earlier this month on November 10, the Crime Investigation Division of the South Korean National Police conducted a search and seizure at Hook Entertainment's main office in Chungdam-dong, Seoul, on suspicions of embezzlement and fraud.
