Kim Wan-sun's agency, KWSunflower, confirmed on the 18th that the registration of the legal team and the pop culture and arts planning business was omitted"The legal team is currently in the process of administrative registration" he said.
KW Sunflower is a one-man agency established by Kim Wan-sun with the fan club management team in 2020, and it has been revealed that it has been active without registration for five years.
Earlier, Ok Joo-hyun, Sung Si-kyung, Song Ga-in, and Kang Dong-won were known to have not registered for the pop culture and arts planning business while running the agency, and they are also belatedly starting the registration process.
According to Article 26 of the Popular Culture and Arts Industry Development Act, entertainers who work as corporations or private businesses with more than one person must register as pop culture and arts planning businesses. If you operate a management business without registration, you can face up to two years in prison or a fine of up to 20 million won. This system was introduced in 2009 in the wake of exclusive contract disputes and celebrity deaths.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced that it will operate the Japanese registration guidance period until December 31 in connection with the recent non-registration of the entertainment industry. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism plans to encourage self-maintenance within this period, and then take legal measures such as requesting an investigation or an administrative investigation for businesses that have not completed registration.
