Major Korean talent firm JYP Entertainment is facing another fine due to its irregular use of New York office in the United States.
The entertainment firm's New York office is belatedly known to have received a violation notice for illegally using the first floor as a music studio, NYC Department of Building’s website showed Wednesday.
The case is currently pending a hearing scheduled on November 1 but it may not be so easy for the firm's C.E.O Park Jin-young to avoid responsibility this time.
JYP Entertainment has already paid a total of $15,000 from eight violations so far, all under the construction violation, including 2010's illegal use of the space as housing for the Wonder Girls.
