Previously we reported that the singer/actor made the request amid allegations that the agency would soon face embezzlement charges.

The allegations stem from a Dispatch exposé, in which the article alleges the label’s ties with Park Min Young‘s former boyfriend, Kang Jong Hyun. Park Min Young is also signed to the label.

Following the Dispatch article, several of the businesses that were alleged to have ties with the controversial figure were raided by police agents, including Hook Entertainment. The raid has sparked further allegations of embezzlement, and the agency has been implicated in a larger investigation into Kang Jong Hyun’s business dealings.
