On November 1st, the 23rd Division of the Criminal Agreement at Seoul Central District Court (Chief Judge Jo Byung-gu) held a trial on Yang Hyun-suk and others accused of retaliation threats.
The prosecution believes that Yang Hyun-suk told former idol trainee Han Seo-hee, “You can see all the reports”, “It’s not a big deal to kill you in the entertainment industry”, “If you reverse your statement, I’ll pay you a reward and appoint a lawyer for you”, etc.
Yang Hyun-suk said, “Most of the stories are not true”, adding “With concerns, I told her not to take drugs and said ‘You have to become a nice person’. I spent about half of the time listening to her and comforting her”.
In addition, he firmly said, “Such words have never existed”, emphasizing that he had never threatened Han Seo-hee.
Yang Hyun-suk was accused of threatening Han Seo-hee, who reported the drug case of iKON’s former member B.I, and forcing her to reverse her statement.
Han Seo-hee repeated her statement while under a police investigation for drug use in 2016 and later revealed that she was under Yang Hyun-suk’s pressure through the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission in 2019.
