Stars such as Ji Seok Jin, Lee Hyun Woo, Oh Man Seok, and Koyote Baekga belong to Uzu Rocks. Previously, on April 5th, Uzu Rocks was embroiled in suspicion of non-payment of wages for its artists and staff due to financial difficulties. Regarding the report that the artist's appearance fee was not being properly settled, Uzu Rocks said, "The article appeared as if the wages of the employees were in arrears, but all of the salaries and four major insurance payments were already paid to those who left the company. All salaries will be paid around April 10, which is the payment date. Quarterly settlements for affiliated artists will also proceed without a hitch at the scheduled time."
