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

Headlines

YG Entertainment appointed a new CEO, Hwang Bo-kyung. Hwang has been with YG since 2001, and has served as Executive Director and CFO.
The storm continued to swirl around YG as the company released a statement denying that Han Seo-hee was ever a YG trainee. It was reported that pursuant to the August 2016 drug investigation where Han Seo-hee changed her testimony regarding B.I., Han came into contact with T.O.P in October 2016. The two smoked marijuana together a few times, and this came to be known to Yang Hyun-suk. Han was thus deliberately sent away to the US by Yang in December 2016 to hide T.O.P’s marijuana use before Big Bang‘s comeback with MADE.
The police and prosecution have blamed each other for the shoddy investigation and cover up of B.I.’s drug use in 2016. The police have announced a task force to investigate YG Entertainment.
It was also reported that while Sungri and Yoo In-suk have been booked for embezzling 530 million KRW (approx. $451,000) from Burning Sun, they are actually suspected of having embezzled upto 1 billion KRW (approx. $850,000) from the club. Aori Ramen washed its hands off Seungri by announcing that his 5% shares have been cancelled, and Yuri Holdings’ 39% shares will be sold. Full proceeds from the sale will be given to charity.
YG’s stock price remained low, closing at 29,200 KRW (approx. $25) on Friday, June 21, after having fallen 1.02% since the last week.
