Former Idol Revealed To Have Been Scammed For $80,000 After Filming SBS Drama

Former Fin.K.L member turned actress Sung Yuri has revealed that she still has not been paid her appearance fee from the 2009 SBS drama Swallow the Sun.

A representative from her agency SL Entertainment commented on the matter, revealing legal action has not helped in recovering the money owed.

“Sung Yuri has not received her payment for appearing in the SBS drama Swallow the Sun in 2009.

We know that the amount owed is over ₩80 million KRW ($75,200 USD). We have gone through various legal measures via the Korean Entertainment and Management Association due to the non-payment but the issue still has not been resolved.”
