    Dispatch's recording revealed a conversation between Hook CEO, a director, and Lee Seung Gi's manager, where the CEO can be heard saying: "He's sending demands of proof of content and all that without a care of what happens to us, but I swear on my name that I'm going to spend the rest of my life killing him."


    The director could then be heard trying to hold the CEO back, to which the CEO replies, "Shut up. Stop. Leave me alone. I'm going to spend the rest of my life killing him. You leave, too."


    The director and manager then leave the meeting room, to which the manager is heard saying, "I can't do this anymore. I'm leaving the company. I refuse to do this anymore. I worked so hard for the past nine years. I let them put me down, I let them tell everyone that Lee Seung Gi is over. You better get behind the right line. Maybe then will you be able to get any work done."


    1. [+1,028, -8] It's now time to let the law deal with this woman with an iron mace. It's best to leave thugs like this to the law of the land.


    2. [+1,001, -38] I'm not a Lee Seung Gi fan... but I know enough to think that he's a smart person. Did he really not know that he was not earning a cent of his digital music sales? How could he not know? Unless he was truly a fool... It's obvious he was aware. He was simply biding his time... He knew that these people were not the people who would stick by him for life and that he needed time to be able to escape them safely. Now's that timing... and it's perfect, actually, because look how messed up the CEO's image is to the public now. Seung Gi-ya, I support you. I hope you win this.


    3. [+530, -6] How is this CEO any different from some mafia thug? She better pay it all back and plant herself in jail.


    4. [+237, -7] Lee Seung Gi-nim, I support you. Find strength.


    5. [+164, -3] I feel so bad for him... I hope that there will be legal justice...


    6. [+119, -0] A picture of the CEO's face needs to be front and center on news like this ㅎㅎ why are we still using pictures of the victim


    7. [+96, -1] Lee Seung Gi is considered a top star in our country and is still victim to such regrettable treatment, I can't imagine how many more celebrities are being treated like this behind the scenes ㅠ


    8. [+49, -1] Lee Sun Hee-ssi was all over TV acting like she was looking out for Lee Seung Gi, what was she really doing this whole time? Just putting on an act?


    9. [+39, -0] Lee Seung Gi was basically the monkey making money for this fool. No matter how long it takes, he better fight her for every last cent of what he's owed. Never let the CEO within an inch of you. Lawyer up and get everything back.


    10. [+39, -0] It's so scary how effective gaslighting can be... I wonder if Lee Seung Gi really believed her when she told him he was a 'minus singer'.. who in the world could ever think that.. sigh ㅜ

    1. [+116] The CEO's sorry? What an absolute joke. If she was ever the type to be sorry, she never would've said those things to begin with.


    2. [+94] Not an ounce of genuine remorse in this apology 😑


    3. [+61] This CEO doesn't even deserve to be called human


    4. [+50] This is what happens when you put a thug in such a power of position... Who does she think she is to put her "name on the line to kill Lee Seung Gi"? Is she not where he is now thanks to Lee Seung Gi's hard work??


    5. [+35] Who does she think she is to be threatening to kill anyone? I hope this is an opportunity for every malicious agency to be turned upside down 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥


    6. [+24] The CEO is an ajumma?


    7. [+14] Why would we put the "truth of the matter aside" ㅋㅋ He should use the truth to sue you and earn compensation ㅋㅋㅋ


    8. [+14] Judging by how easy it is for her to threaten to kill someone like this, it's obvious how she treats those around her


    9. [+9] How did Lee Seung Gi ever stay in such a company for so long... just look at the greed written all over that woman's face...


    10. [+15] At this point, shouldn't the other celebrities in this agency be cutting toes as well? Lee Seo Jin, Lee Sun Hee, Yoon Yeo Jung... they have more than enough power to get out. All ties should be cut with an agency like this.


    11. [+13] Wow, I could never imagine Lee Seung Gi being treated like this ㅠㅠ

    I just think he trusted them. I mean I totally get where he would be coming from. It's obvious they probably told him when he was a newer singer that this is how it works and they pay for this and he pays for that and the guy probably didn't know any better and had no reason to assume they would lie to him.


    I certainly have no reason to believe the company I work for is stealing from me, but who knows it could come out tomorrow that they've been skimming money off my paycheck for years.

    He had people doing the finances for him, idk why anyone thinks it's suspicious he didn't know, he was probably earning okay money and thought his music was a flop, it's not that hard to believe. What's saddening is that he kept uploading covers of music and doing music stuff even when he thought he was a big flop. You can tell he really loves music, so the fact they had him believe for 18 years that he made nothing and his music was selling is disgusting.

    that's exactly what I think as well. He is making more then enough money from acting, commercials and sponsors so there was no need to investigate until somebody(apparently a big senior, some assume it was Psy) told him that his music must have sold quite a lot (which it did).


    That gaslighting tho, its to the level where it's scary. That woman is a psycho.

    Exactly! They seemed to pay him for his acting/variety work so it's pretty natural to assume he just thought they were being truthful about his music. I really feel bad for him because he's very well respected and to spend all that time thinking no one really liked him. :(

    This is why I laugh at all the Army claiming that BTS are entirely in control. They don’t know that, just like I don’t know if BTS is being mistreated. I just wish that Army would tolerate the thought that since this does happen in SK to big stars then there is always a possibility that BTS could be experiencing something similar and can’t speak about it. Just like this guy kept silent for almost 2 decades. All entertainers in SK have a possibility of being mistreated like this guy because of the SK societal values that encourage suffering/ tolerance instead of rebelling/ questioning the status quo. If BTS was like typical western celebrities I would doubt that they could be mistreated but they are SK celebrities. SK celebrities seem to put up with a lot according to the stories I’ve read.

    You would be surprised to know that a lot of employees go over their paychecks meticulously to make sure they are getting paid appropriately and deductions are accurate because your employer can and will cheat you. They will always claim it’s a mistake and once caught will rectify it (usually). I had a co worker that thought she had been changed from a PRN position to full time then found out her status was never changed for almost a year and they cheated her out of a lot of money and extra work that she put in as a full time employee. She left the company but that’s what happens when you trust a company too much. No one should blindly trust and should demand receipts if something doesn’t seem right.

    Dispatch also revealed Lee Seung Gi's manager's testimony along with the voice recording. The manager claimed that the reason Lee Seung Gi wasn't able to question the music revenue settlement because of gaslighting.

    Lee Seung Gi's manager told the news media outlet, "The CEO always gaslighted Lee Seung Gi by telling him 'you're a minus [profit] singer. Your fans don't spend money but they ask for a lot. You earn a lot of money through other things. Think of being a singer like a service to fans.' and ingrained (those things) in him."
