On the 20th, JTBC announced that a famous entertainment agency had requested an idol costume cleaning service in Gangnam-gu, Seoul to clean the costumes of a 10-member male idol group, but had not paid the fee once in two years.
According to the dry cleaning company's president, the agency had requested cleaning services for their costumes between 20 and 200 times, totaling 12 million won (approximately 1.2 million yen).
It was reported that not only dry cleaners, but also stylists, costume makers, and alteration companies had not received payments totaling tens of millions of won (approximately hundreds of millions of yen).
The dry cleaning shop president argued, "The court said, 'I'll collect it now, so pay the outstanding amount,' but I said I don't have the money." However, the entertainment agency filed a lawsuit last week.
The agency is said to be debuting an idol group. JTBC reports that the president of the agency is Kim, who is famous for being a first-generation entertainment agency that has debuted several famous singers since 1990.
When investigations began, the agency reportedly claimed that it was "a mistake by the accounting team" and that "the unpaid amount over the past two years will be paid immediately."
