Hook Entertainment (hereinafter referred to as Hook) refuted the proxy statute of limitations suspicion surrounding CEO Kwon Jin-young, saying, “It was a legal procedure.”
On the 8th, in response to SBS Entertainment News’ report on the alleged proxy statute of limitations, Kwon Jin-young, Hook said, “I have received a proxy statute of limitations in accordance with legal procedures, and there have been no illegal or illegal acts in the process .”
Hook explained, “CEO Jinyoung Kwon has severe hemiplegia due to a cerebral infarction that occurred in 2015.” In response, he explained: “According to the medical law, it is possible to receive prescriptions by proxy, and since the scope of recipients of the proxy is temporarily expanded, it is also possible to apply prescriptions by proxy through acquaintances.”
Additionally, the agency explained that prescribing sleeping pills was a legal procedure, saying, “I have been prescribed sleeping pills according to my doctor’s permission and related laws.”
Regarding the SBS Entertainment News report that raised suspicions of statute of limitations by proxy, Hook said, “The facts are wrong and it is gross libel.” We believe he intentionally misrepresented the facts to damage CEO Kwon Jin-young’s reputation.”
Finally, “CEO Jin-young Kwon bows his head in apology for the controversy so far and has no intention of shirking responsibility,” he stressed, “It is too much to be criticized just because CEO Jin-young Kwon did what it had been done legally.”
Recently, CEO Kwon Jin-young was suspected of stealing the company’s money by using abusive language towards singer Lee Seung-gi. As so-called “gap-jil” suspicions have arisen, the voice of criticism of CEO Kwon Jin-young is growing. However, CEO Kwon Jin-young apologized, saying, “I will take full responsibility for the disputes related to Seung-gi, and I will not shirk my responsibility and will not dispose of my personal property to bear responsibility.”
Below is the full text of Hook Entertainment’s official position
1. Representative Kwon Jin-young received a power of attorney prescription according to the legal procedures, and there was no illegal or illegal act in the process.
Medical laws allow proxy prescriptions in some cases, and due to COVID-19, the scope of proxy recipients was temporarily expanded as of February 24, 2020 to include acquaintances who help with treatment.
Representative Kwon Jin-young suffered from severe hemiplegia due to a cerebral infarction in 2015, and is very uncomfortable to the point of needing the help of an assistant even in daily life.
Accordingly, CEO Kwon Jin-young is a person who can receive proxy prescriptions as provided by the medical law, and in particular, since the scope of proxy recipients is temporarily expanded, he can also receive proxy prescriptions through acquaintances.
In short, the delegation of CEO Kwon Jin-young is neither “adjudicated” nor “illegal”.
2. CEO Kwon Jin-young’s prescription of sleeping pills is also legal.
It is possible to prescribe sleeping pills instead despite the 「limitation of prescribing psychiatric drugs for non-face-to-face treatment for a limited time」.
In compliance with the notice n. 2021-780 of the Ministry of Health and Welfare 「Temporary non-face-to-face specific drug prescription restriction plan」, ① non-face-to-face treatment ② prescription drugs and medicines who are concerned about misuse and abuse are limited.
However, as distributed by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in a press release, proxy prescriptions implemented as of February 24, 2020 are not subject to the aforementioned temporary non-face-to-face specific drug prescribing restrictions.
Therefore, CEO Kwon Jin-young, who suffers from sleep disorders, received a prescription for sleeping pills according to the doctor’s permission and related laws, and this is not illegal at all.
3. The SBS Entertainment News article dated December 8, 2020 at 10:28 am is factually inaccurate and is gross defamation.
As mentioned in the above article, the media heard about the relevant laws and interpretations from CEO Jinyoung Kwon’s legal representative.
We believe that the media intentionally misrepresented the facts in an attempt to damage CEO Jin-young Kwon’s reputation through the phrase “running errands for suspicious drugs” with a tinge as if the act of receiving prescriptions by proxy by CEO Jin -young Kwon was illegal.
4. CEO Kwon Jin-young will take strict legal action against the media and journalists.
Representative Kwon Jin-young bows his head in apology for the dispute and has no plans to shirk responsibility.
However, I think it is too much to be criticized just because Kwon Jin-young also did what was done legally, and it is an act of eradication of any human right left to CEO Jin-young Kwon.
Representative Kwon Jin-young advises that the media and individual journalists will be held civil and criminal liability, and we ask you to check the facts carefully when quoting the article.
