Youn Yuh Jung’s past remarks about sponsorship draws attention again after Lee Seung Gi’s music revenue controversy broke out
Amid the conflict over music revenue between Lee Seung Gi and HOOK, remarks of HOOK’s artists Youn Yuh Jung and Lee Sun Hee are being re-examined.
Appearing on “MMTG” in the past, Youn Yuh Jung said, “It’s not that I refuse sponsorship, but I don’t receive any offer. Because if old people wear clothes, people won’t buy them, saying ‘I am not that old’”, adding “So I buy all the clothes and wear them”.
On a broadcast of JTBC’s “Sing Again 2” last year, Lee Sun Hee said, “I personally like husky voice. I don’t like my voice”.
In response, netizens expressed worries, saying “There’s no way Youn Yuh Jung doesn’t get any sponsorship”, “Lee Sun Hee was also a manager, so she must have trusted the company”, “I wonder if they have also been gaslighted”, etc.
Earlier on November 21st, Dispatch reported that Lee Seung Gi did not receive any money from HOOK Entertainment for his music activities over the past 18 years since his debut in 2004. As a result, he sent HOOK a request for the disclosure of his music revenue details.
In response, the agency said, “We are currently in the process of checking the facts and there is room for legal action in the future, so we ask for your understanding once again on the part that we will be refraining from expressing positions”.
