Hook 'avoid contact' in response to Lee Seon-hee's embezzlement allegation

The revelation of singer Lee Seon-hee (59), who is suspected of embezzlement, continued.

On the 26th, Dispatch exposed an unusual transaction between One Entertainment (hereafter referred to as One Enter), of which Lee Seon-hee is the CEO, and Hook Entertainment (hereinafter referred to as Hook), Lee Seon-hee's agency. According to Dispatch, Lee Seon-hee received 4.3 billion won from Hook over 10 years in the name of lessons for singers, and One Enter hired Lee Seon-hee and Hook's CEO Kwon Jin-young's family as employees, resulting in an illegal supply of 900 million won.

In this regard, Ten Asia contacted Hook Entertainment, but hook officials are avoiding the call.

Previously, on the morning of the 25th, the National Police Agency's National Investigation Headquarters (noodle version) Severe Crime Investigation Division called Lee Seon-hee and inquired about the circumstances surrounding the suspicion of embezzlement of company funds. The police have been investigating Lee Seon-hee with the circumstances that she embezzled company funds several times while serving as the CEO of entertainment agency One Entertainment.

Lee Seon-hee founded One Entertainment in 2013 and served as CEO until June of last year. Lee Seon-hee, a police officer, focused on questioning whether the agency had falsely posted employees and misappropriated the company's funds, and Lee Sun-hee denied the charges, saying, "I did not directly participate in the management of the company" while serving as the CEO.

In this regard, Lee Seon-hee's agency, Hook Entertainment, admitted, "There was a police investigation in relation to the company where Lee Sun-hee was the CEO." At the same time, he said, "I hope that there will be no damage to Lee Sun-hee's reputation with unconfirmed content."
