Earlier today, we reported that ZE:A’s leader, Junyoung, who now goes by the name of Lee Hoo, tweeted a message on Twitter, where he threatens to destroy and go to war against his CEO.

He then tweeted even more messages, and now has tweeted 13 more messages against his CEO claiming he has taken control of Star Empire after speaking with CEO Shin Joohak.

I have finished speaking with CEO Shin Joohak. It’s been decided that Star Empire will be operated by me, by us, as a ZE:A company. I promised all of you that ZE:A’s day will be coming, and I said I will either knock it down or absorb it … now it’s time for you to protect us.. But the truth is.. 

Lastly, CEO Shin Joohak who lost everything and was left with empty pockets… I still deplore and hate you, but you were our CEO for 8 years. You were my responsibility and.. that responsibility.. I’ll take the shaming from the public and the fans. Myself and CEO Shin Joohak will take the responsibility. The contract has been flipped, and now we receive 7 to every 3 for the CEO. 

What I want to say with this incident is, I know many other agencies are also having problems with contracts. I’ll close my mouth, so please fix the problems and treat your artists better. I will make this last request politely. If they can hear my heart..

With the heart that we will start fresh from the start.. I ask that you think of it one more time as if [we] were your child[ren].

To everyone, the fans, the reporters, who helped us.. Thank you. Thank you so much for revealing our truth. To everyone reading this.. in the name of ZE:A, the singers, the actors, the dancers, the variety people and in the name of our seniors, friends, juniors, and all our artists… putting ZE:A and our name, Lee Hoo, on the line, I wanted to tell you that we will live bravely. 

I’m not a coward.. but I’ll be quiet for the time begin. I will be watching.. To all of the agency presidents and management, take care of your issues, fix your mistakes, apologize and acknowledge them.. what I, what we want is to put down everything and get the hearts of your artist. 

If something like this happens again in the future, this entertainment industry that I know, what I see, that I feel… please keep in mind that I have a weapon that will flip the entire industry on its head. I’m sorry for causing trouble.. and thank you again. Because of you, we found again.. the words of hope, dreams, goals.. Thank you and please take care of us. 

There are people who are misunderstanding.. this is about ZE:A internally. It’s not that that the ones promoting are splitting money.. when I got hurt, I didn’t receive payment for two years.. zero.. we don’t divide the pay. I won’t say any more and remain quiet. Thank you.

Media makes you a hot issue and also makes you an idiot in moments. I didn’t show you anything, so now there’s shaming going on.. It’s the same. People say, “He’s the same. In the end, it’s for money.” I won’t pay attention to those statements… Even when I was young, I didn’t get slapped by my father..

I was a student who started because I love music… But shutting up about getting slapped and keeping it inside.. Everyone, help me stay quiet.. I beg you.. I’m sorry. Now, I call a break to this war and I’ll see you next time.. I thank you sincerely again. 

Yes, that’s right.. I’ll slam the nail into your heart. Because, I was a man and because I was a leader, as the representative of ZE:A, I got slapped by Star Empire’s CEO Shin Joohak. It wasn’t just once or twice. This kind of strong action… I’m human too, so if I just wanted money, I would have said this from the beginning.. Sigh…..

Also..Please don’t..curse at the members.
Honestly, these friends are not at fault. They are kind friends who just work hard to do what they are told to do.. Please curse at me and President Shin Joohak. I ask of you..to please think through it once more..for whom and for what I’m doing this for..If I did wrong, I will receive the punishment.

I’m sorry. And also, thank you..
