"
We would like to inform you that our employees and officials do not request any money transfer or purchase of goods under any circumstances, and all such requests are illegal activities""If you receive a similar request, please make sure to check whether you are an employee of our company and pay special attention to prevent further damage."," he said.

Earlier in March, Baro Entertainment also reportedly tried to make financial gains, saying it had agent authority for actor Byun Woo-seok's overseas performances. The Company has stated its position that it has never granted a specific person exclusive authority related to Byun Woo-seok's fan meeting performances and events or signed an agent contract.
Baro Entertainment's official entry.
Hello,
It's entertainment.
Recently, there has been a fraudulent act of impersonating our employees to make financial gains, so we would like to caution you.
We impersonate our celebrity manager, ask small business owners and businesses to make a pre-payment for certain products (mainly wine, etc.) in the name of company dinners, and then unilaterally cut off contact when ready.
We would like to inform you that our employees and officials do not request any money transfer or purchase of goods under any circumstances, and all such requests are illegal. If you receive a similar request, please make sure to check whether you are an employee of our company and pay special attention to prevent further damage.
Entertainment is deeply aware of the seriousness of this matter, and we will do our best to take legal action against such acts.
Thank you.
