Angelina Danilova, 22, a Russian model and TV personality, has been accused of fraud by her former agency Palette Media.

The agency has
reportedly filed a complaint with the Seoul High Prosecutors' Office against Danilova, accusing her of failing to fulfill her contractual obligations and entering into a contract with another agency, Prism Entertainment, without Palette Media's agreement.

Palette Media claimed it made an exclusive three-year (2016-2019) contract with Danilova, who rose to fame on social media as "the hottest K-pop fan" a couple of years ago.

Palette Media alleged that she took part in promotional events and received sponsorship on several occasions without the agency's permission.

Separately, the agency said it has filed a damages suit against her for her "illegal commercial activities."

Danilova became a sensation in Korea after posting photos of herself eating Korean food on social media in 2015. The next year, cable TV channel tvN cast her for the reality show, "Babel 250." Later she appeared on other TV shows and music videos, including rapper Hanhae's "Eyescream."
