YG Entertainment faces their biggest crisis ever as stocks tumble amid ongoing controversies + Yang Hyun Suk goes silent on SNS

YG Entertainment stock is taking a hit amid ongoing 'Burning Sun' allegations.

Notably, YG Entertainment stock price dropped more than 14 percent on March 11, the largest ever drop for the agency since they were first listed on KOSDAQ. The stock price continued to decline on the 12th and in just two months, YGE has lost over 834 billion won (~$815,000,000) with 652.9 billion lost between January 2nd and March 12th.

The biggest reason for the plunge in share price is due to Big Bang member Seungri's scandal. The incident that first began at the end of last year over club 'Burning Sun' has now spread rapidly to include illegal drugs, rape, tax evasion, police collusion, prostitution, hidden camera crimes not only involving Seungri but other artists in the entertainment industry as well. YGE has expressed their apologies to the public with the termination of Seungri's contract but the public is hoping the case will be investigated fully until the end.

In fact, YG Entertainment, as a management company, has been under public scrutiny for a long time for various scandals involving smuggling drugs, abusing drugs, tax evasion, and even recently former Sechskies member Kang Sung Hoon was accused of fraud, embezzlement and intimidation. G-Dragon has been in the media regarding preferential treatment in the military and former producer Kush recently received a five-year imprisonment judgement on charges of selling and abusing drugs. This has left a huge stain in the company image but not as huge as the ongoing 'Burning Sun' controversies.

Yang Hyun Suk, the representative CEO of YG Entertainment who usually stays active on SNS as a way to speak to the fans and the public has gone silent on SNS.

It seems like the controversies involving YG will not be slowing down anytime soon as netizens are now calling for investigation into YG Entertainment, Yang Hyun Suk and all their artists.

Top Celebrities Invested In Club Prostituting Elementary School Girls

“There was even a 6th-grade girl among the call girls.”

Joo Won Kyu, the writer of the novel “Made in Gangnam” which exposes the realities of Gangnam clubs, has revealed everything he learned during the 6 months he worked in the Gangnam club industry.

Joo stated that he worked as a delivery man and “call girl carpool driver” for 6 months in order to conduct research for his novel.

According to Joo, Sungri’s Burning Sun scandal was only the tip of the iceberg. He claimed that drug parties, prostitution and police collusion was far worse in reality. He added that there were countless cases of underage prostitution in the clubs*and mentioned that there was even a 6th-grade girl among the call girls.

Moreover, the use of date rape drugs was extremely common and they apparently used professional methods to rid the system of drug use as well.

When I worked 3 years ago, there were tourists from Southeast Asia who came to do drugs and hang out at the clubs. They even had professional means to avoid drug detection. They would cleanse the stomach or take other medication to dilute it.

ㅡ Joo Won Kyu

Some clubs even held “events” in which a snuff film (a video of a real-life rape and murder incident) would be re-enacted. The girl who participated in the event would receive 100 million won ($87,963) for doing it.

According to the writer, many famous celebrities such as Seungri, who was the “face of Burning Sun”, were known to be shareholders of these clubs.

As Gangnam clubs began to grow into a huge industry of its own, idols often became shareholders of the major clubs. Members of the idol group S hold shares and numerous celebrities under the large entertainment company Y are participating as shareholders.

ㅡ Joo Won Kyu

Joo explained that he decided to write a novel about the Gangnam clubs after he met with teenage runaways. A majority of them expressed their desire to work at such a business and Joo was determined to find out why.

4-5 years ago, I met with about 90 teenage runaways and interviewed them. Over 80 of them wanted to work at adult establishments in Gangnam. The girls wanted to make 5-10 million won ($4,400-$8,800 USD) a month and the guys wanted to become a procurer.

ㅡ Joo Won Kyu

Joo confessed that the night culture of Gangnam was beyond imagination and expressed hope that the Burning Sun scandal will help find justice in society.

“2 Days & 1 Night” To Go On Indefinite Hiatus Following Jung Joon Young’s Controversy

20cfeda39aa3444f9f941923d714e8b8.jpeg


“2 Days & 1 Night” will be suspended indefinitely.

Although Jung Joon Young was removed from the program, many viewers called for the show to halt production as Jung Joon Young was brought back after his first controversy in 2016.

On March 15, the program shared the following statement:

KBS “2 Days & 1 Night” will be halting broadcasts and production.

KBS has banned singer Jung Joon Young, who is being investigated for the filming and circulating illegal footage, from all programs. Furthermore, it has been decided that “2 Days & 1 Night” will halt broadcasts and production for the time being. With this, another program will be scheduled to take the “2 Days & 1 Night” time slot starting this week.

In consideration of the viewers who wait for “2 Days & 1 Night” every Sunday evening, we reviewed the option of*editing out singer Jung Joon Young from all the footage of the two episodes that have been filmed. However, realizing the severity of the matter, the decision was made to reorganize the program overall.

KBS deeply apologizes for not managing our cast members thoroughly, and we will prepare measures to avoid a recurrence.

Especially as singer Jung Joon Young had a similar controversy three years ago, we feel strong responsibility for simply accepting the decision of the investigative authorities to acquit him and not verifying*completely before deciding on his return*to the cast.

KBS will prepare fundamental measures including intensified screening of cast members in order for a similar incident to not occur again.

KBS is a family oriented channel afterall, they trust him and allow him back into the show after his 2016 scandal...and now this happen.....it more or less will hurt their image. Best to put the show on temporary hiatus to prevent backlash
