A former manager tells 'Dispatch' what poor, toxic working conditions LeeSeungGi was subject to during his debut days at Hook Entertainment

'A', who worked at Hook Entertainment in 2004 and who usually managed Lee Seung Gi's activities, told 'Dispatch' in a report published on December 6,Although it's been a while since 'A' left Hook Entertainment, he remembers his days working as Lee Seung Gi's manager in detail. According to the former manager, Hook Entertainment's CEOoften called Lee Seung Gi out to karaoke bars late at night so that he could"entertain" her and her guests.

"She would have drinking outing with her acquaintances or industry affiliates. She would call Seung Gi out very late at night, so he could sing for them at the karaoke. Behind Chungdam-dong, there were a lot of late night karaoke bars. She was a regular customer at those bars... Seung Gi was living in Sanggye-dong at the time. Sanggye-dong is very far from Gangnam. So in the mornings, when I went to pick him up for his schedule, he would look so tired.

"Even though he was a rookie at the time, he earned around 7~8 million KRW each time he went to perform at a show or event. If it was somewhere rural, 9~10 million KRW. There were also days when he went to 2~3 shows in one day. Even then, we had to take care of our meals at rest stops or just in the car... And if we ever got coffee, Seung Gi always paid for those with his own money. CEO Kwon said, 'You? Why do you need to drink Starbucks?'.

"I heard the recording of CEO Kwon yelling. She's exactly the same as she was 20 years ago. I thought, wow, she hasn't changed one bit. Back then, she always shut Seung Gi down whenever he said something. It was always, 'Seung Gi, that's why you're good for nothing'. And another thing she always said to people was, 'Have you lost your mind?'."

"Seung Gi was always kind of cowered in front of CEO Kwon. He might still do that now. If he got a call from her, he immediately became nervous. He would step away somewhere to take the call. When he came back, his face was tense, but he tried to hide it. And after performing, he would always ask me, 'Hyung, how did I do?'. Because if he did something that didn't sit right with CEO Kwon, even the smallest thing, she would call him right away and make a big fuss.
