Regarding the controversy over appearance fees that has arisen concerning the suspension of actress Jeon Won-joo's YouTube channel activities, her agency has released an official position. On the 16th, an official from Sky People Entertainment explained through media reports that the claim that Jeon Won-joo's YouTube appearance fee is 700,000 won per episode is not true at all.

Previously, a person identified as Mr. A, known to be one of Jeon Won-joo's closest associates, claimed in an interview with a media outlet that the suspension of Jeon Won-joo's YouTube activities was a decided agreement and that the appearance fee was at a level of approximately 700,000 won per episode. However, the agency drew a line, stating that while it is true that Mr. A is close to Jeon Won-joo, he is a person unrelated to the operation of the YouTube channel.

The agency official emphasized that at the company level, the amount of 700,000 won per episode is something they are hearing for the first time, and that the claim is groundless. Additionally, regarding the rumors of a video return on the 29th of this month, they added that no filming has taken place and that it is groundless.

Currently, the agency is seeking ways to resume the operation of the YouTube channel while coordinating contracts with new production staff. However, a specific return schedule has not yet been decided. It is reported that Jeon Won-joo's health condition has improved significantly compared to before.

Last August, activities were suddenly suspended as the production staff of Jeon Won-joo's YouTube channel left. The agency stated at the time that the situation was unrelated to Jeon Won-joo's health issues and was a result of the termination of the contract between the production staff and the company.
