Actress Honey Lee and Husband Referred to Prosecutors Over Illegal Company Operations
Actress Honey Lee and her husband were referred to prosecutors on Dec. 23 on charges of illegally operating their agency, Hope Project. We analyze the case and its context.
From blockbuster hits to a legal battle. Actress Honey Lee and her husband are now facing prosecutors on charges of illegally operating their entertainment company. On December 23, Seoul's Gangnam Police Station confirmed it referred the couple and their company to prosecutors without detention.
The Allegations Explained
According to reports, Honey Lee, her husband identified as Mr. Jang, and their company, Hope Project, are accused of violating laws related to entertainment management. The Gangnam Police Station has now handed the case over to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office for further investigation. While specific details of the violation haven't been released, industry insiders believe it could be related to operating as an unregistered agency.
Korea's Strict Agency Laws
In South Korea, running a talent agency is a regulated business. The country's Public Culture and Arts Industry Development Act mandates that companies must meet certain qualifications, such as having staff with at least four years of industry experience, and be officially registered with the government. These rules are in place to protect artists and maintain a healthy industry ecosystem. The charges suggest that Hope Project may not have complied with these legal requirements.
