Singer and actor Lee Seung Gi has won another legal round against his former agency, Hook Entertainment, according to allkpop. A court has ordered the agency to pay him 690 million won in connection with unpaid music royalties.
The ruling, reported by allkpop and other South Korean outlets on September 5, 2026, marks the latest development in a long-running dispute between the star and his former management. The specific court that issued the order was not named in the reports.
This is not the first time Lee Seung Gi has prevailed in court against Hook Entertainment. The two parties have been locked in a legal battle over financial settlements, particularly around music royalty payments. The latest judgment adds to a series of court decisions that have gone in the artist's favor.
The case stems from Lee Seung Gi's time under Hook Entertainment, where he spent nearly two decades before parting ways with the agency. The dispute has centered on whether the agency properly compensated him for his music activities, including digital sales and streaming revenue.
According to the reports, the court's order for Hook Entertainment to pay 690 million won represents another effective win for Lee Seung Gi in what Korean media have described as a "money battle" between the two sides. The exact breakdown of the amount and the time period it covers were not detailed in the available reporting.
Lee Seung Gi, who has built a career as both a singer and actor, has been pursuing legal action to recover earnings he claims were withheld. The ongoing litigation has drawn attention in the Korean entertainment industry, where disputes between artists and management companies are not uncommon.
Observers will be watching whether Hook Entertainment appeals this latest ruling or if further claims from Lee Seung Gi are still pending in court.
