Singer Seong Si-kyung's older sister was sent to prosecutors on suspicion of running an unregistered agency.
According to police on the 10th, the Yeongdeungpo Police Station in Seoul the previous day referred Seong Si-kyung's older sister, a person surnamed Seong, and his label SK Jaewon to prosecutors without detention on charges of violating the Popular Culture and Arts Industry Development Act.
SK Jaewon is a one-person agency headed by Seong's older sister as CEO, and it was reported to police on the grounds that it was not registered for the popular culture and arts planning business with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
At the time, SK Jaewon explained that it established the corporation in Feb. 2011 but was unaware that an obligation to register was newly introduced when the Popular Culture and Arts Industry Development Act was enacted in Jan. 2014.
Meanwhile, police did not refer Seong Si-kyung, who had been reported together, judging that there was no objective evidence to confirm that he was directly involved in running the label.
