Lee Seung Gi opposes the claims of the former agency, Hook Entertainment, regarding their request for the settlement fee.

Months after the news broke regarding the actor's unpaid earnings for his music career, the award-winning star continues his battle with the label.

As mentioned by a media outlet, the 20th Civil Settlement Division of the Seoul Central District Court had its first hearing regarding Lee Seung Gi's dispute against Hook Entertainment for the "non-existence of debt" filed by the agency.

According to the news portal, the talent label changed their position regarding the claims and requested to "get back 900 million KRW or 691,000 USD in advertising fees from Lee Seung Gi."

Initially, this lawsuit included the intention of confirming that Hook Entertainment "has no more debt" after the company paid the singer-actor about 5.4 billion won in settlement.

On the other hand, the counterclaim of Lee Seung Gi's side points out that "there was never an agreement with Hook Entertainment on the settlement."

Because of the exposé, Hook Entertainment received massive backlash from the public, calling it "slavery" against the actor.

Despite the court battle, Lee Seung Gi remained active both in music and in acting.

In fact, he is making a comeback to the big screen with an interesting film with Kim Yoon Seok, for "About Family."
