Entertainment agency raided for embezzlement

The office of an entertainment agency which represents top entertainers, including TV show hosts Yoo Jae-suk and Kang Ho-dong, was raided on suspicion of embezzlement last week.

The Seoul Seobu District Public Prosecutors' Office seized and searched the headquarters of De Chocolate E&TF, a company specializing in the entertainment business and sports marketing, in Nonhyeon-dong, southern Seoul on June 14.

The agency also manages actress Go Hyun-jung who starred in "Queen Seon-deok". De Chocolate expanded its business to outsourcing television program production, but suffered financial problems due to high performance fees.
