“I wasn’t even paid 100 won until July of last year. I wasn’t paid for a total of about 10 years. While doing variety programs, my calls were cut, so I couldn’t contact the writers. I ate one roll of kimbap a day. At first, I didn’t know. When I wasn’t paid, I just let it go while thinking, ‘That’s just how it is.’ They said that after I renew my contract, they would pay me 120 million won in parts, but I didn’t even receive all of that. I couldn’t maintain a living.” — Sleepy
The company’s past ceo has claimed that the rapper’s statements were a lie.
“It’s a false claim that [Sleepy] wasn’t paid. He was paid the profit of 120 million won. People are talking about Sleepy’s current popularity, but before, the company paid for the expenses. At the time, he had no profit. He is using social media with the purpose of promoting various things, and he took the advertising fees”
However, Sleepy then states that:
“I’m aware that the company is considering my social media [marketing] as the biggest problem. It was an unavoidable circumstance in order for me to maintain a living. There was a vacuum, shampoo, fruits, and more [among the sponsored items], but half of the sponsorships was clothing. I accepted clothing because I didn’t have a stylist. I wanted to let the world know about this. I just want to receive the money I should have received.” — Sleepy
CEO then released a statement regarding Sleepy’s different claims from the CEO himself that “[We] will receive judgement from the law on who is right.”
