1. [+1,345, -13] Physiognomy is science.. Seung Gi-ya, find strength and win this

2. [+517, -4] They basically treated him like a money making machine and not as a human being. If you read the Katalks between the manager and the CEO, she was basically talking about him as if he was some beggar.

3. [+323, -2] Scum of the earth. I hope she has to pay for what she's done to him. Lee Seung Gi-ssi, get what you're owed and sue her.

4. [+285, -2] Just by listening to the audio files, you can tell she's not sane

5. [+234, -7] Why did I feel so sure that she was a man this whole time

6. [+138, -1] After reading about her complaining to his manager about what he was eating, I didn't need to see anything more! You can tell what kind of person she is just by that ㅋㅋ The fact that she only landed this CEO position by being Lee Sun Hee's former manager 😂😂 She sure lasted long in a position she was never fit to sit in

7. [+85, -4] I wonder what the extent of Lee Sun Hee's involvement in this is with Kwon Jin Young. Was she another straw in his back, sucking him dry too?

8. [+76, -0] Wow... I've never seen such a devil... I truly hope Lee Seung Gi wins this and gets all his money back ㅜ

9. [+75, -0] I remember when Lee Seung Gi first tried to leave Hook, everyone gave him a ton of crap about betraying his mentor Lee Sun Hee. When he ended up renewing with them, I knew there must've been something fishy going on~ but who knew it was actually this bad. She basically treated him like a slave for close to 20 years and is now threatening to kill him off.. just wow. Shouldn't a woman like this be tried for attempted murder? She ruined this young man's life~

10. [+76, -2] Why is Lee Sun Hee staying quiet? I'm sure she received a cut of his digital sales... surely this whole scandal isn't solely the fault of the CEO alone? 

11. [+50, -1] What kind of mentor is Lee Sun Hee after all?

12. [+42, -1] There's a reason celebrities are always transferring from agency to agency... the longer you stay with someone, the more your weaknesses are exposed for them to use for their own benefit. They all know from experience, I bet.

13. [+38, -0] Lee Sun Hee should be investigated as well. This whole thing can't be the concoction of one person.

14. [+36, -2] Lee Sun Hee was so quick to bring Lee Seung Gi to Hook and yet now she's the quietest

15. [+26, -1] Lee Sun Hee should take responsibility for this since she brought him there

16. [+24, -0] I checked out their Instagrams... the CEO and the directors are all covered in luxury goods, vacationing in exotic locations. They will be punished for this.

17. [+23, -1] This is quite common even with top celebrities. They may be A list but they're surrounded by greedy people who aren't looking out for their best interests, and the celebrities are too out of touch to understand what's right or wrong.

18. [+22, -0] He joined in 2002... they basically took a 16 year old kid and enslaved him for 20 years

19. [+20, -0] The picture of the CEO makes me sick

20. [+18, -0] Lee Seung Gi's a smart guy, I don't think he was completely clueless about what was going on. He probably just held himself back for the sake of Lee Sun Hee. How much does she really know? ㅋ Hook first started with Lee Sun Hee as their first star ㅋ and she was the one to discover Lee Seung Gi herself ㅋ He obviously trusted her with his life this whole time... I also heard rumors that the CEO and Lee Sun Hee were high school classmates...
