Lee Jong Suk's Agency Gives Update On His Return To Korea And Announces Plans To Take Legal Action

Lee Jong Suk is safely on his way home.

It was previously reported that Lee Jong Suk and staff members were detained at an airport in Jakarta after his fan meeting due to promoter YES24 reporting lower profits than the actual amount to the Indonesian authorities. Lee Jong Suk and his staff’s passports were confiscated from the person in charge of them, reportedly because of this.

On November 6, Lee Jong Suk’s agency A-Man Project released a statement on their official Instagram account, giving an update on Lee Jong Suk’s current whereabouts and the situation at hand.

Their statement is as follows:

“Hello. This is A-Man Project. We caused concern to a lot of people because actor Lee Jong Suk’s departure was delayed immediately after the Indonesian fan meeting due to the agencies and local promoter YES24’s way of handling business. This was our first time experiencing something like this, so we were very startled. Instead of thinking about himself, the actor was very concerned that this may affect his drama’s filming schedule. Fortunately, he was able to depart thanks to the help of the Indonesian embassy and he is currently on a flight on his way home.

“We’re currently continuing to look into the cause of this incident, but the agencies and YES24’s explanations keep changing. First, we heard that the local representative of YES24 took the actor and staff’s passports without any reason and disappeared. A few hours later, the local representative was detained by Indonesian tax authorities because they did not pay taxes. Their explanation changed and they said that the passports of the actor and staff in the local representative’s possession were taken away during this process. A couple of hours later, a local media outlet also reported that YES24 had not applied for a short-term work permit and that a visa issue also occurred because of this. Each and every single thing is so unbelievable that we don’t know what other explanations and excuses they’ll come up with next.

“We plan to respond with firm legal action against the agencies and local promoter who caused this incident through law firm Yulchon (lawyer-in-charge Ahn Jung Hye) and all countermeasures hereafter will be conducted through the law firm. We will only embrace the love and support shown by the local fans. We apologize once again to the drama production company, all of the staff members, and to the public for causing concern. We, the agency and [Lee Jong Suk] will repay the interest and love all of you have shown the actor through more sincere promotions.”
