As promised, we’re yet again back with some spicier new updates. Although the details we’ll share with you today are quite unfortunate for us fans, it’s still so important to bring this piece of news into the limelight. Park Hyo Shin, one of the most exceptional ballad singers in the Korean industry, after struggling alone for almost three years, has finally opened up about the reason for his inactivity.
No matter how we put it in a harsh straightforward way or express it with sugarcoats, the reality of how we survive in this realm cannot change. Yes, we usually frame it by expressing it’s a passion that we follow, but besides that, even if it’s the ambition we’re expecting to survive on, we do need money. And sometimes people tend to forget that it’s the soul that we’re satisfied by following our desires, not the hunger. So there has to be a limit to people taking advantage of that talent. Something like this happened with our extraordinary artist as well.
He trusted his agency too much despite their continuous lack of payments as well as responsibilities. As a result, his patience finally broke, and he made an official statement in front of the media about how he had been treated by his agency all this time. And how he finally believes that even though he’s been enduring it all for his passion and his fans, it’s high time to just let it go. Thus, Park Hyo Shin also revealed his further plans regarding how he has been and will deal with this situation.
Shocking Reason For His Inactivity!
When you work in an industry, may it be Korean or any foreign one for that matter, the most important thing for a celebrity figure is to have the support of a good agency for they are the ones making or ruining you, don’t you agree guys? But what happens when that agency just keeps using you and you being a decent client, keep getting scammed up like a moth drawn to a flame.
According to the reports, Park Hyo Shin, an exceptional ballad singer known for his emotional vocals, has been in conflicts with his agency (Glove Entertainment) related to a lot of financial issues. Can you guys even imagine for how long he hadn’t been paid for his sheer dedication? We’re sure even if you made a wild guess, you can’t even expect the reality in your wildest dreams. Park Hyo Shin hasn’t received his music revenue as well as his contract deposit for almost six years now. We’ve also heard from our little birds that neither, such an amazing vocalist, has been paid as mentioned in his contract nor has been for any of his fan meetings or the concerts. His pay for his huge album sales has been kept away too since 2019.
Worst of all is neither they are letting him go nor are they respecting his work that’s been gaining them so much money as well as attention. When Park Hyo Shin was completely annoyed by their on-loop pathetic finance drama, he stepped up to request them to at least terminate the contract, which as well they denied. Thus, our beloved singer didn’t have any other choice than to drag the case to court.
However, our passionate singer still wishes to resolve these issues as soon as possible to make a comeback for his fans after being dormant for almost three long years.
