On April 21, the Lee Seunggi Crisis Prevention Act was passed, this is an amendment to the Popular Culture and Arts Industry Development Act. The Culture, Sports, and Tourism Committee of the National Assembly held a plenary hearing at the National Assembly in Yeouido, Seoul, and passed the proposed amendment to the Popular Culture and Arts Industry Development Act. The bill was passed with both the ruling and opposition parties agreeing to the amendment. 

What does the amendment include?
  • Entertainment companies are required to disclose earnings to celebrities at least once a year  and whenever the artist requests
  • Minors will not be able to work more than 7 hours a day
    • Minors under 12 can only work for 25 hours a week with a maximum of 6 hours a day
    • Minors 12-15 can only work for 30 hours a week with a maximum of 7 hours a day
    • Minors 15+ can only work for 35 hours a week with a maximum of 7 hours a day
  • Companies are no longer allowed to let minors drop out of school or force them to excessively manage their appearance
  • Abuse (verbal, sexual, physical) will be investigated by the Ministry
  • Contracts are required to include length, settlement methods & cost deduction methods
Minister Park Bo Gyun stated,
We will abolish the industry's absurd practices behind the development of K-content that is applauded by the world. It will be a stepping stone to supporting the standards. Through this revision of the law, we will try to protect the rights of pop culture artists who do not receive a fair price for their cultural and artistic creative activities.

And we have Lee Seunggi to thank for this amendment. In November last year, it was revealed that the actor-singer did not receive any payment for his music from Hook Entertainment. In December, he decided to terminate his contract with his agency.
