Actor Jeon Jong-seo clarified that the one-person agency was not established for management purposes amid controversy over operating an unregistered agency.
On the 10th, Jeon Jong-seo's agency Andmark told OSEN that "Summer" was established for content planning, development and production, not as a management company.
Earlier, Jeon Jong-seo established the corporation 'Summer' in June 2022. The representative is Jeon Jong-seo, and her partner, director Lee Chung-hyun, is a director of the company. The corporation is known to have listed as its business purposes ▲ film·drama content production·development·distribution·agency ▲ actor entertainment·management ▲ rental of equipment and production facilities for film and broadcasting ▲ content planning and sales, among others.
Under current law, to engage in management business one must register as a popular culture and arts planning business. However, Jeon Jong-seo did not register the corporation 'Summer' as a popular culture and arts planning business and is reported to have completed the registration earlier this month.
Amid this, Jeon Jong-seo's side explained that because the corporation 'Summer' is not a management company, they did not recognize the need to register as a popular culture and arts planning business.
Andmark said, "During the process of establishing the corporation, the business types were listed comprehensively and management-related business types were included, but because there was no plan to do management, they did not recognize the need," and added, "After the recent issue about being unregistered surfaced, they rechecked the listed business types and corrected them."
Meanwhile, Jeon Jong-seo appeared in last month's released film 'Project Y' and drew attention by announcing news of her appearance in the upcoming Hollywood blockbuster 'Highlander'.
