Korean actor-singer Lee Seung-gi fulfilled his promise to donate the money that his former agency, Hook Entertainment, owed him for albums and songs he released in the last 18 years.
Lee Seung-gi sued and left Hook Entertainment after learning that the music he released in his career made money contrary to his agency’s claims.Hook Entertainment deposited 2.9 billion won [$2.2 million] on Dec. 16 to the star’s account as unpaid payment in addition to 1.3 billion won [$994,000] won and 1.2 billion won [$917,000] as interest for a total of 5.4 billion .
On Dec. 29, the Seoul National University Children’s Hospital announced that Lee Seung-gi donated 2 billion won to the facility to improve medical conditions. It said Lee Seung-gi’s donation will be used to resolve overcrowding in hospital rooms and improve outdated facilities so that children in the hospital can receive treatment in a pleasant environment. Some of the hospital wards that have been improved will be named after Lee Seung-gi.
He added, “Since there is a limit to only one-off support, I hope that this sponsorship will serve as an opportunity to build an environment for pediatric and adolescent patients, and draw social attention, and I will continue to pay attention and support so that children can grow up healthy and happy.”
