In her Instagram, Hong Jin Young tells that she recently filed for termination of her exclusive contract with Music K Entertainment, and revealed many of the horrible things her agency has done to her. She first revealed to her fans the bad news, with a pretty sad sound.

"Hello, this is Hong Jin Young. I know I am suddenly writing to you all, but it is to give some sad news to everyone. I am now going through the legal process of terminating my contract with my agency that I thought of like family for the past 10 years.

They were my family from my debut until now. I worried a lot, has a lot of hesitation and fear, and every single day was painful, but I arrived at this decision. Because she is with this agency for long she said that she really trust them.

Up until now, I have been loyal and trusted by my agency. I've been working hard without missing a schedule, and without properly thinking deeply about things. Sometimes, I would see comments claiming I just wanted money, and I hated myself for having people think of me like that. There were many times where I just wanted to give myself some rest. But in the end, I thought that working hard, performing at several events every day, dozens of events a month, was how I could repay my company for raising my since I was a rookie".

She said that the agency does not care for her well-being so it pushes her to take this as a reason to file a termination of her contract; "At one point, my health quickly deteriorated. In earlyJune, I had an infection in my lower abdomen, and it became so serious I had to receive surgery. I told my agency many times it was too painful to carry on schedules, but they still made me attend them. While all of this was going on, there were many other things also happening, that I was not aware of. Secret contracts with advertisers that I never knew of, poor accounting practices that are I suspect took tens of millions of won in my appearance fees through paper companies, forcing me to sign contracts with advertisers I don't want to do, leaving out part of my commission from performing at events, and more. After thinking about it, I submitted my notice to cancel my contract in June".

The callousness of her agency really gets to her when it does not apologize for it; "To be honest, I never thought this situation would end up like this. We were one family, and we trusted each other, I thought there was a misunderstanding and I was waiting for an honest explanation from the agency with their reflection, and I wanted to trust them right to the end. However, the agency has not said a single word of apology, and they consistently give excuses and do not acknowledge their wrongdoings. As someone seeing this, I decided I could no longer maintain a sense of trust with them anymore".
