- Shareholder Participation 'Hoseokchon' paid 450 million won in full..Mujin, "I'll solve it quickly"

Actor Lee Jang-woo was caught up in the untimely "controversy over attempted collection," but it is likely to end with happening.
Lee Jang-woo was embroiled in a controversy over the payment of the supplier of "Hoseokchon," a Sundaeguk house where he participates as a shareholder on the 17th. Dispatch raised suspicions that "Hoseokchon"'s receivables as of January 2025 were 64 million won. Also, the CEO of Company A said, "(Lee Jang-woo) is a celebrity, so I trusted him and waited. However, he said, "I have been delaying (money) for more than a year," and reportedly claimed that he sent a DM directly asking Lee Jang-woo to resolve it, but did not receive an answer.
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, it was found that "Hoseokchon" paid about 450 million won to its client "Mujin" as a result of a Star News report. Since then, it has been confirmed that "Mujin" has acknowledged that it did not deliver the payment to Company A, which claimed the unpaid damage, 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.
Lee Jang-woo's agency Hunus Entertainment also said in its official position that "Lee Jang-woo is participating in the operation as a shareholder of Hoseok Village, but the full amount of the delivery has already been paid to Mujin Co., Ltd., which is a contractual client," and also disclosed the transaction details.

"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."
In particular, Hunus Entertainment said, "It is not true that actor Lee Jang-woo did not pay, and the claim that Mujin is the owner of Hoseok Village, 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 Lee Jang-woo 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 or intentionally avoided or ignored."
