The former agency of Song Ji-hyo faced financial difficulties and even experienced utilities cutoffs!

吳喬巴9/19/2023 1 min read

Actress Song Ji-hyo is currently in litigation with her management agency Uzu Rocks over unpaid wages. However, recent reports suggest that not only Song Ji-hyo, but other artists are also leaving the company.

According to a Korean media report on the 19th, actor Oh Manseok, who was formerly under Uzu Rocks, Bbaek Ga of Koyote, and singer Lee Hyun Woo have all left and found new companies.

According to the contract of the Fair Trade Commission, if the agency damages the actor's image or is actually unable to operate, no matter how long is left on the contract, it will be terminated. In this Uzu Rocks incident, the problem lied with the company, so the contract was canceled, and the artist decided to leave the company.

In fact, Uzu Rocks not only owes Song Ji-hyo 900 million won in appearance fees and settlements, but it also can't even pay its employees' salaries. This has sparked enormous controversy for several months. Not long ago, it was reported that the office located in Sinsa-dong had its water and electricity cut off due to unpaid utility bills. The maintenance personnel, who were owed five months' worth of salary, parked their cars at the office entrance, blocking the employees.

However, fortunately, the cleaning company's car has been moved away. But there is still a balance of 3~4 million won in electricity charges unpaid, and although Representative A from Uzu Rocks promised to pay all unpaid amounts, he still ended up not keeping his promise.

Furthermore, on the 14th, Song Ji-hyo's legal representative addressed the Korean media, stating, "The report claiming that Song Ji-hyo received a message clearing her of suspicion from Uzu Rocks entertainment agency is false." He went on to clarify, "Song Ji-hyo has never accused the former representative of fraud."

Song Ji Hyo personally responds and admits feeling sad about the controversy about her attitude on “Running Man".K-Pop

Song Ji Hyo personally responds and admits feeling sad about the controversy about her attitude on “Running Man".

Song Ji-hyo is one of the original members of the long-standing variety show "Running Man." However, she recently faced criticism from online trolls who questioned her performance and called for her departure from the show. The cast of "Running Man" recently made an appearance on Yoo Jae-suk's online variety show "Pinggyego" to address the issue. During the show, Song Ji-hyo personally responded to the criticism, attracting significant attention from the internet. On the 2nd, the variety show "Pinggyego" on the YouTube channel "DdeunDdeun" uploaded its latest episode. In the video, Song Ji-hyo, Haha, Ji Suk-jin and others appeared as guests and had a conversation with the host Yoo Jae-suk. When the show started, Yoo Jae-seok mentioned that Song Ji-hyo has been really hardworking recently, and admitted that there were times when Song Ji-hyo didn't have much to say on the show. For this, Song Ji-hyo also expressed her sadness about her own performance. Song Ji-hyo also addressed the previous controversy surrounding her potential departure from the show. During that period, netizens had strongly criticized Song Ji-hyo, accusing her of displaying a poor attitude on "Running Man" and receiving her monthly salary with minimal effort. This controversy had led to calls for her to quit the show. Song Ji-hyo expressed her heartfelt gratitude to Yoo Jae-suk and Ji Suk-jin, who had actively reached out to her to convey their concern when the controversy erupted. She recalled Yoo Jae-suk telling her, "I'm worried that you might be affected by the news reports, so I called you," and also said, "Starting from next week, just put in more effort. Please don't dwell on it." In fact, at that time, Song Ji-hyo did not see any news about herself, but because Yoo Jae-seok emphasized that she shouldn't care, it instead drove her curiosity, making her continually search the internet for related comments and reports. Haha, standing next to her, responded, "No matter what, from a positive perspective, that controversy has turned into a new opportunity for Ji-hyo Song." Song Ji-hyo also admitted that she was upset at the time, but it was because of this controversy that she made the decision to work even harder, expressing her gratitude to the team.

Finally, the legal representative stressed, "Song Ji-hyo's allegation against the former representative of Uzu Rocks concerns suspicion of corruption, and the investigation into this matter is still ongoing."

 'Running Man' Song Ji-Hyo becomes the star's behind-the-scene story is widely revealed! Members are surprised: how beautiful is she?"K-Pop

'Running Man' Song Ji-Hyo becomes the star's behind-the-scene story is widely revealed! Members are surprised: how beautiful is she?"

The SBS variety show "Running Man," which was broadcasted on the evening of the 23rd, conducted its second Running Tour. This time, the members went to Gyeongju, located in Gyeongsangnam-do, and completed a journey to explore cultural heritage with Yoo Jae-suk. Before officially starting their journey, the members who arrived in Gyeongju first gathered in Jee Seok-jin's room, having dinner and chatting about various things. In the middle of the chat, Jeon So-Min started talking about his past part-time job experiences. "Whenever I hear Christmas carols, it reminds me of the time when I was about to close the store for Christmas during my part-time job and my boyfriend came to wait for me at work. Back then, the hourly wage for a part-time job was only 2100 won (The minimum hourly wage in Korea in 2023 is 9620won)." After hearing Jeon So-Min's part-time job story, Song Ji-hyo also mentioned her own work experience, "I was scouted by an agent while I was working at a narrow pavilion," which surprised all the members. Then Song Ji-hyo continued to explain, "I didn't get a job for this reason. I was originally working at a café, but since the boss opened a branch at Seopjikoji and hadn't found part-time workers yet, he asked me to help out for a week. As a result, I was scouted by a talent agent during that week." Then the members asked Song Ji-hyo, "You must be very popular, right?" Song Ji-hyo responded, "I have never received a phone number," but quickly added, "But I often get scolded by the older ladies at Sogeori Pocha." Song Ji-hyo continued to say, "Older ladies suddenly asked me to make 'fresh juice', but because I didn't know what that was, I asked them, and they got angry and said, 'Don't you even know what fresh juice is?'" But that was a menu item that Song Ji-hyo's workplace café didn't have, causing her a lot of difficulty. Editor: It's really such a coincidence! It's amazing that in just a short week, everyone has the chance to get to know the beautiful Ji-Hyo~
