Dispatch revealed that Lee Seung Gi, who was still underage, was forced to go to karaoke in the middle of the night by CEO Hook Entertainment to entertain him and his friends.
Today, Tuesday (6/12) Dispatch again revealed about the Lee Seung Gi case with the CEO of Hook Entertainment, namely Kwon Jin Young. Lee Seung Gi was revealed to have been treated very badly since his debut in 2004. This was revealed by former manager Lee Seung Gi who worked with him in 2004.
Lee Seung Gi was revealed to like being treated arbitrarily and even being made a free singer to entertain CEO Kwon and his friends. Lee Seung Gi was asked to come to karaoke when CEO Kwon and his friends were drinking alcohol in the middle of the night in 2004.
This means that Lee Seung Gi was still underage considering he was 17 years old at international age. It is known that South Korea's legal age is 19 years according to international calculations or 20 years according to South Korea.
"Kwon Jin Young drank with his friends at night. He would call Lee Seung Gi in the middle of the night and make him go to karaoke to sing," explained former manager Lee Seung Gi.
"If you walk down one of the back streets of Cheongdam-dong, you will find a karaoke room. Kwon Jin Young goes there often. It must be with his friends or the broadcasting staff, right? At that time, Lee Seung Gi's house was in Sanggye-dong, " he continued.
Lee Seung Gi's former manager himself only found out about this even from other people. Lee Seung Gi didn't even want to reveal that he had been used by CEO Kwon to entertain his friends.
"Saggye-dong is far from Gangnam (Lee Seung Gi's house). I picked him up the next day, and he was tired, so I asked him whether he slept or not the night before. He told me that he went out for a while late last night," explained former manager of Lee Seung Gi.
"After asking where she was going, she told me that she left because the CEO called her, so I thought that was it. Later, I heard from one of our stylists that they were drinking and having fun, and they called Lee Seung Gi to sing for them," said manager Lee Seung Gi.
CEO Kwon asking Lee Seung Gi when he was 17 years old to go to karaoke filled with alcohol can certainly be said to be illegal. This is because underage people are prohibited from buying alcoholic beverages. Lee Seung Gi, who is in a karaoke room full of alcohol, can of course be judged to have violated the law even if he doesn't drink. (wk/alpha)
