Lee Si-an is a prominent contestant on Netflix's reality dating show Single's Inferno 4. She was recently embroiled in a legal dispute with her agency, Leaders Entertainment, over allegations of breaching her exclusive contract.
On January 21, 2025, Herald Pop reported that Leaders Entertainment announced their intention to pursue legal action against Lee Si-an, asserting that she violated the terms of her exclusive contract.
The agency detailed that in April 2024, discussions commenced regarding Lee Si-an's participation in Single's Inferno 4. This led to the drafting of an annex agreement to extend her exclusive contract by 18 months beyond its original expiration date of October 25, 2024.
However, in August 2024, shortly after the conclusion of the show's filming, Lee Si-an reportedly expressed her desire to terminate the contract unilaterally.

"We have begun full-scale discussions for Lee Si-an to appear in 'Single's Inferno 4' in April 2024 and have drawn up a supplementary agreement to extend Lee Si-an's exclusive contract. Lee Si-an unilaterally conveyed through her agent her intention to only work until October 21, 2024."

Leaders Entertainment emphasized that the Single's Inferno 4 star's objections to the exclusive contract lack valid justification. The agency stated that all filming-related agreements had been signed under the company's representative's name, with Lee Si-an providing both written consent and substantial verbal agreements throughout the process.
"Lee Si-an's objections regarding the exclusive contract are clearly unfounded. Since the establishment of Leaders, all contracts related to filming have been signed under the name of the Leaders representative, and in this process, Lee Si-an has made not only written consent but also substantive agreements."
Expressing disappointment, Leaders Entertainment highlighted that they believed Lee Si-an's participation in Single's Inferno 4 would offer significant growth opportunities for her career.
The agency claimed to have supported her diligently during negotiations and throughout the project. They further stated that her unilateral decision to suspend activities after filming not only betrayed the company but also the program's production team.
"We did our best to negotiate and support Lee Si-an, judging that her appearance on 'Single's Inferno 4' would provide her with meaningful growth opportunities, but unilaterally notifying of a halt in her activities while ignoring the contract after her appearance is an act of deceiving both the company and the program's production staff."
As of January 21, 2025, the Single Inferno 4 star has not publicly responded to the allegations made by Leaders Entertainment. The agency has indicated its intent to resolve the matter through legal channels, underscoring the seriousness of the alleged contract breach.
Lee Si-an, 25, is a freelance model under Leaders Entertainment. She has appeared in advertisements for brands like Samsung Galaxy, FILA, New Balance, and COSRX.
Before her modeling career, she trained as a K-pop idol and competed in survival shows Idol School and Produce 48. She revealed in her introductory video that she also has a background in competitive swimming, which she pursued until sixth grade and continues to do as a hobby.
