YG Entertainment has confirmed that BLACKPINK’s Lisa had been swindled 1 billion won (approximately $816,000) by her former manager.
On June 2, Market News reported that the former manager “A” had exploited their connections and received money from Lisa, saying that they would look into real estate for her. Lisa then lost all her money when Manager “A” spent her money on gambling.
According to an anonymous informant, the former manager “A” had worked with BLACKPINK since their debut and was someone that Lisa had trusted during her rookie days. The incident has surprised many, as the former manager was well-trusted within the company and by the members.
A source said, “Because Lisa is a foreign member and has been in Korea by herself since she was young, she is very vulnerable to these things. It is very unfortunate that these things happen in the industry. This is a serious situation that can damage the domestic management’s image.”
Following the report, YG Entertainment released the statement below:
"After looking into the matter, we confirmed that Lisa was a victim of fraud by former manager “A.”
According to Lisa’s wishes to settle this amicably, as the former manager was someone Lisa had trusted, Manager “A” has reimbursed a part of the sum and has left the company after agreeing on a reimbursement plan for the rest of the sum.
We bow our heads and apologize for causing concern to the fans who love our artist.
We are embarrassed by the misconduct of “A,” and we are feeling responsible for the management and supervision. We are taking preventive measures so that this does not happen again.”
Awww omg da hu??? Pero nagulat ako ha laki pala talaga ng kita nila? Grabeee
ReplyDeleteGirl dito nga sa Pinas ang pera ng mga artista 500 million and up. May mga bilyonaryo pa nga. Meron dito half million per taping day. So just imagine. Mas malaki pa tayo dito magbayad sa artista. And come to think of it. Kahit si Hyun Bin kaya ang TF ng mga companies dito sa Pinas.
Delete12:56 naniniwala ka naman sa mga exaheradong paandar ng PR team na half million per taping pero hindi makabayad ng tamang tax. Walang ganun.
DeleteCurious ako sa half million per tapung day. Hmmm
Deletetotoo naman yung P500M up ng mga artista, though syempre mga top stars lang may ganung halaga na ng naipon individually like sa mga iilang artista sa kah pero madami dami sa kaf. Yeah sino yang may half a mil na TF per taping? curious lang
Delete12:59, true yang 500k per taping day. May isa nga dyan na top artist, making 1M per taping day. At may isang famous host din earning 1M per day sa variety show.
DeleteHalf million per taping?? Possible p yun s ibang bansa like hollywood. But that TF here (Philippines)? I doubt about that.
DeleteGrabe ang laki. May nakuha pa ba siya sa amount na un? Sana binanko na lang niya. Kahit wala pang interest. At least may madudukot siya. Kaysa un ganyan tinangay lahat. My gosh. Lalo ngayon may pandemya. Everybody is affected.
ReplyDelete41 million be gone. Actually mukha siyang gullible.
ReplyDeleteSimula daw ng debut ninanakawan na. Teenager pa ata siya nun kaya hindi mo rin naman masisisi kung may tiwala sa manager. Foreigner pa naman siya diyan sa korea at walang gaanong kakilala. Ang problema ay itong YG na nag hire ng scammer. Napaka incompetent talaga ng company na yan. Nanakawan din daw ang BigBang at 2NE1 noon.
DeleteAlmost 1 Million dollars that's a huge amount of money, pwede na pang retire yan kawawa naman sya
ReplyDeleteTo lose any amount of money to someone you trusted is kinda traumatic based on experience. I hope she's okay.
ReplyDeletejustice for Lisa... nakakaloka
