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

Headlines

  • Earlier this year, Produce 101‘s Producing Director Ahn Joon-young received a two years sentence for manipulating votes. The court has revealed the names of 12 contestants that were eliminated due to voting manipulation across the various seasons of the show. Some of these contestants include Nu’est‘s Baekho, Cravity‘s Jungmo and Up10tion‘s Jinhyuk.
  • On Nov 19, the third hearing for all charges against Seungri took place. Former Burning Sun employee and friend of Seungri, Mr. Kim, claimed that the former idol had not mediated prostitution services, only Yoo In-Suk had. Yoo is the former CEO of Yuri Holdings. How credible this testimony is — considering that Mr. Kim is a friend of Seungri — remains to be seen.
  • BigHit Entertainment has acquired Zico‘s Koz Entertainment.
