Previously, OSEN reported an interview with an official from Song Ji Hyo’s side. The official said, “It is true that Song Ji Hyo gave notice of termination of the exclusive contract to Uzurocks on April 14. However, since we know that Uzurocks is taking a different stance, we plan to take all possible steps, such as lawsuits to confirm the non-existence of the exclusive contract.”

Additionally, the official explained that the notice of the termination of the exclusive contract was due to the break in the artist’s trust in Uzurocks in relation to the payment and settlement of employees’ wages.

Earlier on April 5, it was reported that Uzurocks was facing major financial problems. According to reports, Uzurocks has let around 10 employees go due to financial difficulties, while others are allegedly leaving over worries about the agency’s future. One employee claimed they had not been paid for 2 months and neither has the agency’s celebrities.

Then on April 24, Uzurocks confirmed it had agreed to terminate its contract with Song Ji Hyo.
