• Representative Mujin said, "We can't pay..Company A will quickly settle the receivables."

While actor Lee Jang-woo said that he had already paid the money in connection with the controversy over the receivables of the Sundaeguk House, it was confirmed that the actual responsibility for the receivables lies with the client.

According to a Star News report on the 17th, Hoseokchon, a Sundaeguk restaurant where Lee Jang-woo participates as a shareholder, paid about 450 million won to its customer, Mujin. Since then, it has been confirmed that "Mujin" has acknowledged that it did not deliver the payment to Company A, which claimed damage to the receivables, and expressed its position that "it is our responsibility for the part that has not been paid."

An official told Star News, "Company A also talked about this with Mujin, and CEO Mujin also said, 'We couldn't pay. I'll make the payment quickly," he hinted.

Earlier, the agency Hunus Entertainment said in its official position that "Lee Jang-woo is participating in the operation as a shareholder of Ho Seok-chon, but the full amount of the delivery has already been paid to Mujin Co., Ltd., which is a contractual client."

"Since then, Mujin has been unable to pay to Company A, causing problems," he said. "There is no direct contractual relationship between Company A and Ho Seokchon or actor Lee Jang-woo."

Hunus Entertainment said, "What was reported as if actor Lee Jang-woo did not pay is not true, and the claim that Mujin is the owner of Hoseokchon, which was mentioned in some reports, is also not true. Mujin has never held a stake in Hoseokchon and has nothing to do with actor Lee Jang-woo, he said. "I feel moral responsibility for not fully examining whether the intermediary is implemented in this transaction structure."

In addition, regarding the claim that the supplier tried to contact him through SNS, he said, "More than dozens of messages are received on actor Lee Jang-woo's account a day, and messages from unfollowed accounts are classified as message requests, making it difficult to immediately check them," adding, "The failure to check the message in a timely manner is not a fact, but it was not intentionally avoided or ignored."

Meanwhile, on the same day, Dispatch raised suspicions of non-payment, saying that the unpaid amount of "Hoseokchon" as of January 2025 was 64 million won.

In response, an official from Tiger, who is listed as a corporation of Hoseokchon, said, "I think Lee Jang-woo is a co-representative, but it is not true. It only took a portion of its profits for about two months. It is said that (Lee Jang-woo) is not receiving any settlement because it is a loss now."

"Lee Jang-woo's friend B was the representative, and it was his fault," the "Tiger" side said. "I think B stole the price of the material." Lee Jang-woo took only a portion of the profits for about two months after the opening. It is rumored that Lee Jang-woo only briefly participated in the early stages of the opening to help his friend.

In this regard, the CEO of Company A said, "I trusted and waited because I was a celebrity. However, he said, "I have been delaying (money) for more than a year," and reportedly claimed that he sent a DM (direct message) directly asking Lee Jang-woo to resolve it, but did not receive an answer.
