Jeon Jongseo belatedly registers her separate agency after three years

SOURCE: [단독] 전종서, 별도 기획사 3년만에 '늑장 등록'

It has been revealed that actress Jeon Jongseo registered her independent agency as a public culture and arts management business after a significant delay. However, her agency drew a clear line between this case and recent 'tax evasion allegations' involving stars and their one-person agencies.

On the 10th, it was confirmed that Jeon Jongseo registered 'Summer Co., Ltd.,' which she founded in June 2022, as a public culture and arts management business on the 4th. This marks a 'late registration' for nearly about 3 years and 8 months after the company was founded. Jeon Jongseo serves as the CEO, while her boyfriend, Director Lee Chunghyun, is listed as the internal director of the company.

The company listed its business purposes as: ▲ film and drama content production, development, distribution, and agency services ▲actor entertainment and management ▲ rental of film and broadcast equipment and facilities ▲ content planning and sales.

Under current law, registration as a public culture and arts planning business is required to operate a management agency. It is assumed that Jeon Jongseo registered her company belatedly because she just learned this requirement.

Regarding this, her agency ANDMARQ stated that the delayed registration has nothing to do with 'intentional hiding' or 'tax evasion.'

A representative from ANDMARQ stated, "Summer was established to form a partnership between an actress and a director to plan projects together. In fact, Director Lee Chunghyun's directing and screenwriting contracts, as well as MV production back in 2024, were carried out through this company."

Regarding the late registration, the representative added, "Since management was not the company's main business, we didn't realize we needed to register it at first. After becoming aware of related issues recently, we corrected the matter."

They also explained that this case is completely unrelated to the recent controversies about stars using separate companies for tax evasion (or tax avoidance). The representative said, "Jeon Jongseo has nothing to do with the tax avoidance or evasion issues. After signing an exclusive contract with ANDMARQ, all income from her entertainment activities has been paid directly to the actress personally."

Lawyer Noh Jongeon, CEO and lawyer at Law Firm Jonjae, commented, "Recently, many stars have established one-person agencies but didn't register it because they're inexperienced or lack the knowledge of legal procedures. This belated registration, which is related to her inexperience, is very regretful."

1. [+513][-4] So basically everyone in the entertainment industry was making backdoor loopholes to embezzle money and evade taxesㅋㅋ

2. [+460][-2] Guess they were nervous all this time. What are they going to do now that it looks like they got caught?

3. [+399][-1] Alright~ Let’s start a deep investigation and shake out all the dust.

4. [+49][-1] There have been so many articles about this for years. I wonder how many empty-headed celebrities still haven’t even registered yet?

5. [+33][-1] If it’s not for saving money on taxes(?), there’s no reason to start a one-person agencyㅋㅋㅋ I mean... Do you know how much hassle it is to set up a company...?ㅋㅋㅋ

Bibi tries to build a friendship with Jeon Jongseo ... "I thought we had a bit of special connection"

 

In a music video post, Bibi shared, “I’ve always admired and respected Eonnie as an actress. Last time, I think she gave me a little smile when we passed by each other. But when I watched the recent drama, it felt like she wasn’t really thinking about me at all. I thought we had a bit of a special connection since we shared water together, but I was a bit upset. Still, I admire her so much, so I’ll wait.”

Jeon Jongseo reshared this post, tagging Bibi's account, seemingly offering an indirect response to Bibi's words.

Previously, Jeon Jongseo had garnered attention for her interactions with actress Han Sohee through her Instagram account. Recently, she also drew attention by posting part of the lyrics to Bibi's song “Binu” on her account. Fans are eagerly watching to see if this friendship between the two will continue to grow.

-Why does it matter if they become friends or not?

-Is this part of her MV promotion?

-Is this queerbaiting? I don’t know…

-This seems like a promotion strategy, though...

-Why is this considered a queerbaiting? There's plenty of female celebrities that Bibi likesㅋㅋ

-Just DM her...

-This seems like a promotion strategy but it does come off kinda weird...

-It's Friday, y'all... Relax a bit...

-As long as they don't end up turning into criminals like Seungry and Jung Joonyoung, I don't care.

-It seems like Bibi's just working hard on promoting her new song..... In the end of that video, it says that her new song is coming out on the 14th.

-Oh... Is Jeon Jongseo starring in Bibi's new MV??

-It's not like she's a criminal... Why are people so determined to manage someone else's personal connections. Not to mention that she's a fully grown adult. It's so exhausting.

Classmate Clarifies about the Unfair Treatment Jeon Jongseo Receives

Jeon Jongseo Controversy

As someone who went to the same middle school as her, I feel compelled to write this because I think Jeon Jongseo is being unfairly treated. 

Some of the friends mentioned were indeed trash. At that time, Jeon Jongseo, who came from a wealthy family and was aware of her own beauty, was subtly looked down on by them. If her friends were doing something wrong like bullying, she would try to stop them. If that didn't work, she would just leave the situation. I really don't understand why someone would want to torment her with false accusations. 

She did reveal that the reason she went to study abroad was because she wanted to be an actress. However, I couldn't completely believe her words back then. She used to study well, but her grades started to drop and her future seemed uncertain. Since she came from a wealthy family, it seemed like she went to study abroad to try to build a good academic background. 

While she studied abroad, she cut off contact with her friends who used to look down on her. When she came back, she only kept in touch with those who were wealthy or had good credentials like herself. I also lost contact with her after she went abroad.

As an observer, it's heartbreaking to see the news. If I were Jeon Jongseo, I would've felt so unfair that I might have even considered suicide. 

I don't understand why those informants made false accusations, but if they have grudges, they should talk to her directly. Even if the truth is revealed and explanations are given, it will only lead to losses. 

I'm writing this in the hope of decreasing even a little bit of the unfair treatment she gets right now. 

The OP even attached a picture of their yearbook album as a proof. 

Looking at her old pictures, I don't think she was that pretty. Are you a buzzer?

OP: I'm not sure what pictures you've seen, but among us, she was famous for looking like Bella from Twilight. 

-Let's not waste time and focus on what's happening. 

-Twilight was released in December 2008, which means it was almost the end of 8th grade, right? I thought she went abroad in the beginning of 8th grade?? Did she became famous among you after she went abroad?

OP: Twilight is a series. If you don't like her, just say so. The truth doesn't change.

-Huh?? That's the first movie;;

-That's the first movie from the series. What are you talking aboutㅋㅋ

-What are you talking aboutㅋㅋ Twilight's first movie was released in 2008.

OP: Also, I think she went abroad in the end of 8th grade, not the beginning. From what I remember. 

Everyone's saying that Twilight's first movie was released in December 2008, so why are you bringing up the whole series? Try to be logical and consistent. Even if she went abroad in late 2008, how is it possible for her to be famous for resembling the lead actress from the movie that was released in December? Come back with a clear argument! I'll be waiting. 

I can confirm the story about the gym uniform is a lie. At that time, her boyfriend was so jealous that he wouldn't tolerate anyone else's scent on her. There's a possibility that it's her friends who said that she hit someone, but since I wasn't there I can't confirm it.

-I don't know if she's truly defending her or is it just satire...

-Is Jeon Jongseo that rich?

-This sounds fake

-That's so funny. Her boyfriend must've resembled Edward at this point.

-This post doesn't seem helpful at all, right?? You're telling me she just watches while her friends do trashy things? Who would believe thatㅋㅋㅋ

-Is this the best lie she could come up with? I'm getting the secondhand embarrassment...

-This is freaking hilarious...

-Just write a drama script at this point...

-I bet Kristen Stewart would want to sue the OP if she ever reads this post...

-Her company is trying so hardㅋㅋㅋ

-Is that post written by one of her company's staff?

-Tell me which part of her resembles Bella...

-I don't understand what the OP is trying to point out here

'Wedding Impossible' Jeon Jongseo's Stagnant Acting is a Misfit, Just Like Ill-Fitting Clothes

 

'Wedding Impossible' is a drama depicting the romantic mission of aspiring actor Na Ah-jeong (played by Jeon Jongseo) who decides to enter a fake marriage with her childhood friend Lee Do-han (played by Kim Do-wan), and her brother-in-law Lee Ji-han (played by Moon Sang-min) who opposes the marriage, based on the popular web novel of the same name, which has also been remade into a webtoon and received love.

Along with the popularity of the original work, 'Wedding Impossible' received attention as 'Jeon Jongseo's romantic comedy', but the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama is currently struggling with low ratings. Starting with a viewer rating of 4.0% for the first broadcast, 'Wedding Impossible' has not been able to move beyond that, and the viewer rating for the fifth episode broadcast on the 11th recorded 3.7%, dropping to the 3% range, and the buzz is also quietly fading away.

Many viewers attribute the decline in ratings to the lead actors of 'Wedding Impossible'. Since it's a romantic comedy, the chemistry between the male and female leads should be the backbone of the show's appeal, but both Jeon Jongseo and Moon Sang-min seem to struggle in bringing the necessary spark. Their rushed and awkward interactions feel like they're grappling with an unsolved puzzle, which ultimately detracts from the viewer's immersion in the drama.

Although it's refreshing to see Jeon Jongseo taking on her first TV drama challenge, it's disappointing that she isn't able to showcase more charm. Despite leaving a strong impression in genre films like 'The Call' and 'Ballerina', and receiving praise for her performances in romantic comedies like 'Nothing Serious', her lackluster portrayal in 'Wedding Impossible' underscores her limitations.

-I think it's just because she has a unique tone. I personally think her acting is quite fine. The male lead's acting genuinely shocked me, though. Every time I hear him talk, I thought I had accidentally fast-forwarded the drama. 

-Her acting skills are... unique. I'm not saying she's a bad actress, though. She's a decent actress. It's just that I couldn't empathize with the female lead. 

-What...? I find her cute because she has a unique acting style

-Relate. Every time she talks, she sounds like she's reading a textbook. It's very awkward.

-She has a unique way of speaking.

-Her acting isn't really strange, it's just that she has an awkward tone when she talks. I watched her drama for the first time, since the movies she previously starred in were really popular. But I was like 'Huh...?' after watching her acting in the drama. 

-I really like her acting, though?...ㅠㅠ

-I like her acting. She's charming and she has her own style of acting, which is good. 

-Huh? Is it that bad?? I think she's just average, though...

-Jeon Jongseo's acting style is unique... It's the male lead who can't act.

-Because of the way she talks, I can't decide whether if she's a good or bad actress. It's ambiguous. 

-She's a great actress. She never loses her own style no matter what genre she's starring in, she's a really amazing actress. 

-It is indeed very awkward. I think it's better for her to not star in rom-coms...

-She doesn't suit rom-coms... Her way of speaking and also her facial expressions are really strange. 

-She's good, but I have to admit that she's quite unique. 

-I think she's fine, though. I'm enjoying her drama. 

-I don't think she's a bad actress. I find her very charmingㅠㅠ I personally really like her

-She might receive mixed opinions, but she's so much better than I expected. The drama itself is just... boring.
