Lee Seung Gi began his legal battle against his former agency back in 2022. He accused Hook Entertainment of not paying him any of his rightful income for the last 18 years for all of his music-related work. The actor sent a legal notice to the company, and the unpaid amount was settled. However, the dispute went further when Hook Entertainment filed a counter-lawsuit against Lee Seung Gi.

According to Korea Daily, on April 4, the Seoul Central District Court held a hearing for the lawsuit filed by the company. The court has dismissed all of its counterclaims, ruling in favor of Lee Seung Gi. Hook Entertainment has been ordered to pay 581 million Krw to the actor, excluding delayed interest. However, the legal costs should be split between both parties, as ordered by the court.

Exclusive: When webtoon artist Joo Dong-geun published All of Us Are Dead on Korean platform Naver in 2011, he never expected that it would take 11 years for his zombie story to be turned into a series — one that also became the first Korean show to rank number one on its global top 10 list after Squid Game achieved the feat.

In those 11 years, Joo witnessed how Korean studios and companies awakened to the financial and artistic potential of Korean zombie IP after the success of Train to Busan and Kingdom, as well as the global recognition of Korean webtoons after their adaptations into some of the streamers’ most successful shows. Some of these shows include Disney+’s Moving as well as Netflix’s Sweet Home.
