[theqoo] [EXCLUSIVE] "WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE MONEY FOR THE PRODUCTION OF IDOLS COSTUMES FOR MONTHS... 2 MILLION WON IS A LOT FOR US" SMALL BUSINESS OWNER'S TEARS
A small business owner who runs a clothing sample studio has spoken out, claiming that an entertainment company has failed to pay idol costume production fees for several months.
On the 21st, the informant, identified as A, said, “My parents operate a clothing sample studio,” and explained, “On October 28 last year, we received a request from an (agency) to produce idol costumes. We completed the production and delivered the final items on December 9.”
The idol in question wore the outfits made by A’s parents while filming a music video and also received the K-pop girl group grand prize at a year-end awards ceremony.
However, the agency did not pay the costume production fees and began repeatedly delaying payment.
A said, “The staff member who commissioned the costumes told us that they do not handle payments and gave us the contact information of a company director,” adding, “The director said during a phone call that payment would be made by January 15, but we still haven’t been paid.”
Despite multiple attempts to reach them afterward, there was no response. A also sent direct messages (DMs) through the agency’s official social media accounts, but received no reply.
Eventually, on the 20th, A’s side sent a certified letter of demand to both the agency’s corporate address and the representative’s home, notifying them that further action would be taken if payment was not made within three days of receipt.
Regarding the production costs, A said, “1.4 million won was owed to my parents’ company, and 600,000 won to another company we introduced, for a total of 2 million won ($1.3K USD),” and added, “As a small business owner, this is extremely frustrating. It may be a large amount to some and a small amount to others, but how are we supposed to deal with this kind of going silent?”
In closing, A said, “We just want to receive payment for the costumes we worked on. We hope the issue can be resolved smoothly without causing harm to the young artists full of dreams who wore the outfits,” adding, “We also hope that situations like this do not continue to happen.”
