The agency's founder and executive producer has landed in legal soup after he was found guilty of threatening a whistleblower to cover up a drug allegation that involved a former YG artist, rapper B.I. According to the report, the court has found him guilty and sentenced him to a prison term, which is definitely not good for the company.
What is the jail term period Yang Hyun-suk has to serve?
According to reports, the Supreme Court, presided over by Justice Ma Yong-ju, upheld a lower court ruling that sentenced Yang to six months in prison with one year of probation for coercing a meeting under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes.
