While singer-producer Tank (Ahn Jin-woong) claimed that the hip-hop duo Lee Ssang’s Gil (Kil Seong-jun) had suffered labor exploitation and verbal abuse, Gil said that the tank’s disclosure was in fact preparing for legal action.
Gil’s agency, Leessang Company, said in an official position, “The content of the YouTube video uploaded by Tank (Ahn Jin-woong) is not true, and we are preparing a position announcement and legal action against it.”
He added, “We have confirmed the facts with the former manager of Gil-nim and the person who lived in Ohio and worked as the main composer of Magic Mansion,” he added. “We will be able to tell you more details as soon as Gil-nim’s position is arranged in the future.”

Previously, on the 17th, the tank revealed on his YouTube route, saying, “I once lived as the best hip-hop producer and the largest entertainer in Korea, and after committing drunk driving three times, now I made it to accuse the public with ugly hair.” I uploaded a video. Although the name of the subject of disclosure was not mentioned in the video, it was implied that it was a disclosure of the road by referring to’Show Me the Money 5’and ‘3 times of drinking and driving’.
In the video, the tank claimed that he had made four girlfriends at the same time, and that for a year, he and four producers had no contracts and paid salaries as slaves. Also, if you don’t like the song you made, it’s said that verbal violence and assault were applied.
Tank then referred to an actress who had recently passed away, claiming that she suffered violent abuse while dating the street. In addition, when the’Swallowtail Butterfly’ of’Show Me the Money 5’was in crisis due to plagiarism problem, the road manager appealed that he tried to overwrite all responsibility on him.
In this regard, Gil side completely refuted and attached the Instagram post of Cho Yong-min, the composer of the Magic Mansion of the producing team. This Instagram contains an appeal from Cho Yong-min to the tank.
On Instagram on the 19th, Cho Yong-min wrote, “I am worried that many innocent people will get caught up in this incident and suffer irreparable wounds. I will not comment on anything I do not know.”
“2016 was a very busy year,” he said. “One day, Gil-hyung told Ahn Jin-woong (tank) to record a melody guide on the sound source of a famous female duo, and Jin-woong Ahn jokingly recorded, and even profanity in the guide recording file. It was recorded, and I remember that he was angry with fire, saying, “What would it have been like if Hyung Kim, who confirmed it later, would have heard it to the singer?”
Cho Yong-min recalled that the incident at the time was the beginning and the tank left the Magic Mansion with all the luggage packed. The copyright fee for the sound source of’The Swallowtail Butterfly’ also explained that “Kil-hyung, other composers, Ahn Jin-woong, and me distributed the copyrights in the same ratio.”
