Fantagio Is Accused Of Being Connected To The Chinese Secret Police, Agency Responds
Recently, a Chinese restaurant in Gangnam, Seoul, was pointed out as a “Chinese secret police stronghold,” with some reporting it to have ties with Cha Eun Woo’s agency, Fantagio. According to media outlet Hankyoreh, they reported that the actual owner of the controversial Chinese restaurant is Wang, a Chinese national who runs HG Cultural Media.
What should be noted is that Fantagio appointed Bae Ji Yeon from HG Cultural Media as an independent director in 2016. However, Fantagio denied the suspicions that they were related to the “Chinese secret police.”
Most recently, Fantagio revealed to TV Report, “Bae Ji Yeon was already dismissed in 2018. Currently, no one in Fantagio knows Bae Ji Yeon.”
On the other hand, the Chinese restaurant recently posted a message through an electronic display board saying they would make a major announcement. Public interest is growing as to whether the controversy is correct that China operated it to suppress dissidents working abroad.
