Lee Si An, the breakout star of Single's Inferno 4, is not just making headlines for her role on the popular show but also for a growing controversy surrounding her agency.

Reports have surfaced that her entertainment activities are now being managed by Sublime, the agency known for representing stars like Song Kang Ho, Hyeri amd FreeZia.

This comes as Lee Si An is in the middle of a legal dispute with her former agency, Leaders Entertainment, over an exclusive contract.

According to multiple industry insiders, Sublime has taken over the management of Lee Si An’s career. One advertising source shared, “I contacted Lee Si An for an advertisement, and shortly after, I was informed by Sublime that all matters related to her should be handled by them.” Another source confirmed that many ad companies received similar feedback from Sublime.

This has sparked speculation that Lee Si An might be planning to make a permanent switch to Sublime.

Currently, she is caught in a contract battle with Leaders Entertainment, who claims that their management agreement with her was supposed to last until 2024. However, Leaders alleges that Lee Si An unilaterally decided to terminate the contract earlier in October 2023.

Lee Si An has gained widespread attention as a contestant on Netflix’s Single's Inferno 4, where contestants must find love while stranded on a “hellish” island.

She’s been involved in a love line with bakery café owner Kim Jung Su, actor Jang Tae Oh, and former UDT soldier-turned-artist Yoo Jun Seo. Particularly, her hotel scene with Yoo Jun Seo has gone viral among viewers.

When asked about the reports, a representative from Sublime denied the claims, stating, “I’ve never heard of such talks.”

Lee Si An, who began her career as a model, has also appeared on Mnet’s Produce 48 and Idol School.

Fans are now eagerly awaiting to see if her rising fame on Single's Inferno 4 will lead to more drama regarding her agency issues and possibly a move to Sublime.
