K-pop star disses CEO, apologizes

Moon Jun-young, who goes by Lee Hoo with Zea

Lee Hoo, a member of the boy band Zea, has caused a stir by attacking the CEO of the group’s label, Star Empire, on social media.

On Sunday, Lee (whose real name is Moon Jun-young) issued multiple, ominous tweets directed at the executive, Shin Joo-hak.

One read: “You’ve crossed the line. I‘ve seen tears from my parents, and it is time for you.” The tweet suggested that Shin’s actions had caused hardship to Lee’s parents.

“Where’s all the income we earned with all our efforts? I hope you’ll be honest,” another tweet read.

“Where is the money that we have earned,” another tweet read.

Suddenly, however, Lee changed his tone. On Monday, the entertainer said he had reconciled with Shin and that it had all been a misunderstanding.

“I want to stay with him (Shin), seeing that he apologized to us, dropping his tears,” Moon said.

A Star Empire official was quoted as saying the row was the result of a misunderstanding.
