CL sent to prosecution for 'illegal agency management' ... Kang Dongwon's CEO also faces prosecution

Agencies of Kang Dongwon and CL have been sent to prosecution for failing to register as official entertainment agencies.

On the 22nd, the Seoul Yongsan Police Station confirmed that they have sent CL (Lee Chaerin) and her agency, as well as CEO 'A' of Kang Dongwon's agency and the agency, to the Seoul Western District Prosecutors Office without detention on charges of violating the Popular Culture and Arts Industry Development Act.

CL is accused of running her one-person agency for around 5 years and 7 months without registering the business with the local district office after establishing it in February 2020. Since CL personally served as the agency's CEO and managed its operations, she was handed over to the prosecution as a suspect.

CEO 'A' of Kang Dongwon's agency was also found to have operated his agency without registration for around 2 years and 9 months since its establishment in January 2023. However, Kang Dongwon was cleared of wrongdoing because he was not involved in the management or operation of the agency and had focused solely on his acting career.

The case arose when a complainant filed a report stating, "The Popular Culture and Arts Industry Development Act was enacted for the public interest by protecting vulnerable artists such as minors and trainees, improving unfair practices, and making sure businesses compete fairly. Running a business for a long time without registering it means that the business was conducted outside these safety guards, which is a serious issue. It undermines the protection of rookies and youth, damages the trust of business partners, and harms the fairness of the market."

Recently, it has become a social issue that some celebrities operate one-person agencies without registering their businesses, which is one of the legal requirements. Under current law, such registration is mandatory to operate an entertainment agency. Violations are punishable by up to 2years in prison or a fine of up to 20 million KRW.

Regarding this matter, the Korea Entertainment Management Association (CEMA) stated, "It shouldn't be taken lightly that famous celebrities, who should be one of the most compliant people, operate business without registrations for years." They also announced plans for strong countermeasures, including future legal complaints.

Have you seen the casts of The Moon That Rises in The Day?? It's legendary

 Kang Dongwon as Doha, Moon Chaewon as Rita (Younghwa), Yeo Jin-goo as Joon-oh...?

This collaboration worksㅋㅋㅋ

I'm just saying this drama will be one of a kind if they were the casts

Hello, production team... Are you reading this...?ㅜㅜ

I really want to see Kang Dongwon do that iconic line

pann

[+222][-49]

1. [+165][-0] If only Kang Dongwon was 20 years younger... Or at least 10 yearsㅠㅠ And also Joon-Oh kinda has cold vibes in him, while Yeo Jin-goo has the type of 'honest guy from the countryside' looks. I'm not hating, I'm just saying that he looks reliable. 

2. [+115][-0] I don't think so... They all have aged now. Those gifs were made out of videos from 10 years ago...ㅠㅠ

3. [+92][-2] Their actual ages don't suit the role... Doha is barely in his late 20s and Rita is in her 10s.

4. [+78][-18] Whoa... I think Moon Chaewon suits that role so freaking well

5. [+28][-0] Kang Dongwon was living one of his most glorious days when he filmed Kundo ... I think it would've been legendary if he filmed this drama with that looks of hisㅠㅠ But I think he was already in his late 30s when he filmed Kundoㅋㅋㅋ

If these actors were to form an idol group, who do you think will be the centre?

1. Kang Dongwon

The company purposely gives him the image of a mysterious visual

However, he can be very chaotic once he takes off that image

Him taking off the 'mysterious' image and dancing his heart out to Boombastic

2. Park Bogum

The one with beautiful smile, adored by the whole country

The public in general chooses him as the centre

Not only he will do everything he's asked, he's also very good at everything he does

3. Lee Jongsuk

The perfect type of idol to be the centre of the group

A steady seller and also a stan attractor, with no doubt

He does everything he's asked to, even though not perfectly

But it's really adorable and that side of him attracts even more people to be his fans

4. Lee Joonki

He is destined to be a celebrity

With his charms, anyone can tell that he'd make a great centre 

He would be the centre who's very charming, talented, and enjoy getting people's attention

theqoo

-Kang Dongwon would be the visual member, Park Bogum would be the member that attracts fans, Lee Jongsuk would be the member who's known for his sexy-cutie vibes, and Lee Joonki would absolutely be the centreㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-If they were idols, they would be dancing and singing on stage, so it's definitely Lee Joonki. However, I would absolutely be Lee Jongsuk's Akgae fan...

-I immediately thought of Jo Jungseok as I read the title... But if I had to choose between these actors, I think it would be Lee Joonkiㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-The centre would be Lee Joonki. I think he would make a very great idol...

-The centre would be Lee Joonki, Kang Dongwon would be the member that attracts the most fans, Lee Jongsuk would be the member with the biggest and strongest fandom, and Park Bogum would be the member that non-fans recognize the most

-When I saw Kang Dongwon, I was so sure he would be the centre... But then I scrolled down and saw Lee Joonki, and then I changed my mindㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-The centre would be Lee Joonkiㅋㅋㅋ Look at his charms, no one can change my mind...

-I think it would be Lee Joonki, he's very charming...

-Kang Dongwon would absolutely be the centre... Lee Joonki would be the main dancer that attracts fans...

-Lee Joonki with no doubt... Have you seen his charms? It'll drive you insane

-The centre would be Lee Joonki... However, Kang Dongwon would always be the centre in my heart...

-Whoa... This is very difficult to choose...

-If they were actual idols, it would be Lee Joonki
