Actor Song Ji-hyo filed a lawsuit against her former agency, Uzurocks, claiming that she had not been properly paid for work including her appearances on a number of programs.

A spokesperson for Song said Wednesday that the actor had “filed a lawsuit on Tuesday against Uzurocks for unpaid settlements.”

“Uzurocks has already missed the date on which it promised to pay the settlement several times,” the spokesperson said. “Song has decided that she could not wait any longer with her trust already broken.”

Song notified the agency that she would terminate her exclusive contract on April 14.

The CEO of Uzurocks Park Joo-nam resigned on April 27 citing management issues.

Song Ji-hyo, known for her performance in MBC’s 2006 TV drama “Princess Hours” and the 2008 film “A Frozen Flower,” has appeared on the variety show “Running Man” since 2010.
