Welcome to another edition of SB Week in Review! Here’s all the news you might have missed:

Headlines

The Burning Sun case may have officially ended this week, but the shit storm continues to swirl around YG Entertainment.
On Monday, Dispatch revealed 2016 text messages showing iKon‘s B.I. attempting to purchase LSD. Within hours of the news breaking, YG took uncharacteristically swift action and removed B.I. from the group. Shortly after, B.I. posted a public apology on Instagram, and speculations began about how the case was not investigated three years ago when detectives first became aware of the attempted purchase.
Enter Han Seohee, who revealed herself via a petition to the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission as “A.” Han had been investigated back in 2016 for smoking marijuana with TOP, and in that process, police had found her phone conversations with B.I. where he inquired about purchasing LSD. She also implied that at the time YG and attempted to influence her testimony to police and even hired her lawyer. After which, her story changed from delivering the LSD to B.I., to simply having a conversation where he speculated about purchasing the drug. Han’s current lawyer later shared that documents regarding B.I.’s LSD investigation and testimony have since gone missing, and says YG’s ties to police are highly suspect.
All the while, YG stock prices plummeted. Ultimately, Yang Hyun-suk and his brother Yang Min-suk, stepped down from YG Entertainment — though they still remain major shareholders in the company.
