Ok Joo-hyun said, "In April 2022, in the process of registering a pop culture and arts planning business after the establishment of a single agency, some procedures were omitted due to ignorance of the administrative procedures at the time, and the registration was not completed on time. This is due to my inexperience, and I can't make any excuses."

We will handle all future procedures with the help of experts so that similar incidents do not occur thereafter." he said.

Hello, I'm Ok Joo-hyun.
Around April 2022, in the process of registering a pop culture and arts planning business after the establishment of a single agency, some procedures were omitted due to ignorance of the administrative procedures at the time, and the registration was not completed on time.
This is due to my inexperience, and I can't make any excuses.
After recognizing the mistake, we immediately followed the supplementary procedure and completed the registration application for the pop culture and arts planning business on September 10, 2025, and are currently waiting for registration.
All future procedures will be handled thoroughly with the help of experts to prevent similar incidents from occurring afterwards.
Taking this opportunity, we will more thoroughly comply with relevant regulations and procedures in the future, and work in a more sincere and transparent manner.
I sincerely apologize for causing concern to everyone who trusted and supported me.
