reporter Zhang Xiaohan/comprehensive report
Korean star Lee Seung-ki revealed on the 21st that he had released 27 albums (137 songs in total) in 18 years, but he had not even received a penny in the audio source revenue. He asked the company to understand that he was threatened to "kill you" when he settled, shocking the outside world. Musician Lee Byung-ho (transliteration, 이병호) admitted that he also received relevant fees when participating in the production of Lee Seung-ki's regular sixth album. This incident made Lee Seung-ki very sad and cried very badly. It was precisely because they knew each other so well that they felt very distressed after seeing the report.

Lee Byung-ho is a music producer and guitarist. In 2015, he participated in the song production of Lee Seung-ki's regular sixth album "And...". The first song "Wind" is a song composed by him and written lyrics with Kim Ina. On the 21st, he saw Lee Seung-ki's related reports and posted a sad post on Instagram: "I didn't receive the production fee when I participated in the regular sixth album. Although I was very tired, I was because In order to cherish Shengji very much, I didn't take it too seriously. However, after hearing Shengji learned about this, I felt very heartbroken and cried miserably, and I couldn't help but wonder if I shouldn't say it."
I didn't expect this to be not the only time. Li Binghao hoped that Li Shengji would not blame himself for this matter, and sincerely hoped that the other party would no longer be treated improperly: "I will always support the artist Lee Shengji as a music partner and pray for him." In fact, in addition to participating in the production of "And...", he also used the music creation team Captain this year Planet (캡틴플래닛) was once released with Lee Seung-gi's single "Don't Forget, Remember, Don't Be Late (잊지마, 기억해, 늦지마)".

Korean website was shocked to learn that not only Li Shengji personally did not get the source of music revenue, but even music creators did not get the revenue. "It's crazy! This is really the most unreliable company in history", "Li Shengji must have thought that because his music did not make money, the people involved in the production were sad because they did not receive the money. It's really heartbreaking", "It's really the most unreliable in history, and this kind of company should be more than this... Wow, that representative does so many things in private, and has the face to say that he is taking photos there", "HOOK Entertainment is crazy."
