Bang Si-hyuk, also known as "Hitman" Bang, is a South Korean music executive, record producer, and songwriter. The trouble for the HYBE chairperson seems to be growing with each passing day over stock fraud allegations. Amidst the case, investigative authorities who have been probing the chairman since December 2024 have been reportedly transferred.
Why have the investigative authorities been transferred?
According to a report of AllKpop, the authorities, who have been investigating suspicion of fraudulent
trading (violation of the Capital Markets Act) have been subjected to reassignments, raising some eyebrows.
On January 29, KST, reportedly, the Ministry of Justice implemented a large-scale reshuffling of prosecutors, supposedly to reorganise the prosecution ahead of its transition to the Public Prosecution Office in October. Around 569 senior prosecutors and 358 general prosecutors were affected in this move.
