A music company refuses to pay bills for washing their boy band costumes. The ten-member group has performed for two years but their agency never sent money to the laundry shop. Workers at the Seoul cleaning business say they are owed more than 12 million won. Agency A also skipped payments to stylists and costume makers who helped dress the singers. The unpaid amounts have grown to tens of millions of won across different vendors.
The laundry owners tried calling and texting the company many times without getting answers. They finally threatened to take the agency to court for the missing payments. Agency A suddenly paid 5 million won but stopped talking to the cleaning shop again after that. The business owners said the company acted tough at first but later begged for more time to pay.
JTBC reporters found out that Mr. Kim runs Agency A and has worked with famous singers since the 1990s. The company claims they have no money to pay their debts right away. However they just launched a brand new idol group last week despite saying they are broke. Agency A told reporters that their accounting team made mistakes and promised to pay everyone back immediately.
