Seoul police have requested an arrest warrant for HYBE Chairman Bang Si-hyuk on suspicions of unfair stock trading under the Capital Markets Act. The allegations stem from 2019, when he reportedly misled investors about the company's IPO delay, acquiring shares cheaply for nearly 200 billion won ($135.9 million) in profits. Bang denies the claims and expressed regret over the warrant request despite his cooperation.
South Korea's leading K-pop agencies HYBE, SM Entertainment, YG Entertainment and JYP Entertainment are in early talks to launch a joint global music festival called Fanomenon. The event aims to rival Coachella and debut by the end of 2027. The concept originates from JYP founder Park Jin-young, who leads government efforts to promote Korean culture worldwide.
