Earlier this month, Shin Hyun-joon's former agent, Kim, broke the news to the media, saying that he had been exploited by Shin Hyun-joon and his family for 13 years.
Kim and Shin Hyun-joon met in 1994 and worked as his agent for 13 years.
Kim was an agent at the suggestion of Shin Hyun Joon, who became a star with the movies "The General's Son" and "Ginkgo Tree Bed", but Kim's monthly salary as an agent was only 600,000 won. Jin mou said: "Although the money is not enough to spend, I think that dedicating myself to the actor is the fate of the agent. ”
The low salary is not the main reason, and Shin Hyun-joon's exploitation of Jin is the last straw that overwhelms him.
Jin revealed that Shin Hyun Joon changed 20 agent assistants in 7 or 8 years. Shin Hyun Joon is always dissatisfied with the agent assistant, in order to meet his needs, Kim constantly changes his assistant, but Shin Hyun Joon is still dissatisfied.
Not only that, Shin Hyun-joon treats Jin like an agent assistant, often sending him "Dog XX" and other text messages full of dirty words.
After Jin became Shin Hyun Joon's agent, Shin Hyun Joon successfully filmed film works such as "Flying Dance", "Demon Retreat", and "Barefoot Ki Fung". Since 2010, Shin Hyun Joon has begun to concentrate on the field of TV dramas, shooting works such as "Bridal Mask", "Silly Mother", and "Urala Couple". After that, Jin proposed to Shin Hyun-joon to be the host, so he served as the host of programs such as "Hearing rumors show" and "Entertainer Intermediary". It can be said that with the help of Jin, Shin Hyun-joon became a successful amphibious artist.
Jin said: "Over the years, Shin Hyun Joon has always wanted to make movies, so he always asked me to pick up film works. I understand that actors have requirements for the work, but when the film industry doesn't need Shin Hyun-joon very much, he always urges me to pick up the film work for him, which makes me stressed a lot. ”
Jin mou said that it is not only Shin Hyun-joon who put pressure on him, but also Shin Hyun-joon's mother. Shin Hyun Joon's mother not only instructed Him to run errands like a maid, but even asked him to report on Shin Hyun Joon's itinerary and situation every day.
Shin Hyun-joon's mother often instructs Kim to do trivial things, such as washing cars, buying coffee and milk. Jin said that what he was most tired of was that Shin Hyun-joon's mother would let him go to the bank to get free giveaways, like free candy or something.
Even Kim's public holidays were occupied by Shin Hyun-joon's mother. As soon as Christmas came, Shin Hyun-joon's mother called and said that she wanted to go to church together, in fact, she asked Jin to drive her to the church and then drive her home, which was also the case at the end of the year. In this regard, Jin mou once expressed his dissatisfaction to Shin Hyun-joon, but Shin Hyun-joon said: "My mother's waist is not good, can't you even do this for her?" ”
In addition to these, Jin also said that during the time he and Shin Hyun-joon worked together, the two had not signed a contract. Jin had proposed to sign a contract, but Shin Hyun Joon refused.
Without a contract as a guarantee, Kim could not get his salary for a long time, and even the verbal promise of one-tenth of the draw did not do it, and so far the net income obtained by working with Shin Hyun-joon is less than 100 million won.
In the first two years of Jin's work as Shin Hyun-joon's agent, Kim's monthly salary was only 600,000 won, and although it was later increased to 1 million won, it only lasted for 6 months, and Shin Hyun-joon "dismissed" Jin and found a professional agent. At that time, Shin Hyun Joon promised Jin: "I don't pay a monthly salary, but as long as I help me receive works or advertisements, I will give you a tenth." ”
Kim said: "In the second half of the 90s, I helped Shin Hyun-joon successfully shoot clothing and mobile phone advertisements worth 200 million to 300 million won, but only received 2 million won. ”
Jin mou expressed great regret for his original cowardice. He said that he had always thought that he and Shin Hyun Joon were beyond the relationship between the actor and the agent's friend, and that he had survived so long with his naïve trust, and now he really resented it.
In the face of the accusations of former agent Jin, Shin Hyun-joon said that "it is all a lie." Shin Hyun-joon said in an interview with KBS2's "Mid-Year Live" program that he and this friend have not been in contact for 6 years, and hope that Jin can contact him as soon as possible, and the two will meet as soon as possible.
In the case of Shin Hyun-joon's denial, former agent Jin reported Shin Hyun-joon to the police on the suspicion of illegal injection of propofol on the 13th of this month.
Jin said that in 2010, Shin Hyun-joon had illegally injected propofol and requested the police to investigate.
In this regard, Shin Hyun-joon also denied it again - "There is no factual basis for what Jin said." Ten years ago, Shin Hyun Joon needed to inject propofol for treatment, but it was definitely not illegal. For Jin's excessive reputational damage, we will formally take legal measures to prove his innocence with the results. ”
Today, the official of KBS "Superman Is Back", which Shin Hyun-joon's family joined as a new member, announced the news that Shin Hyun-joon's family temporarily interrupted recording.
Due to the continuous controversy about Shin Hyun-joon, the audience message board of "Superman Is Back" has also become a battlefield for netizens to attack. In order to protect his family, Shin Hyun Joon decided to temporarily quit "Superman Is Back" until the problem was solved.
Late last month, South Korea's national treasure actor Lee Soon-jae was also embroiled in a controversy over the exploitation of his agent, which ended with Lee's apology. I don't know how this time, between Shin Hyun-joon and Kim will end the controversy...
