South Korean authorities continue investigating HYBE chairman Bang Si-hyuk over allegations of misleading investors and fraudulent trading ahead of the company's 2020 IPO, with police seeking arrest warrants in April 2026 that prosecutors rejected twice for insufficient evidence. Bang remains subject to an exit ban, has faced repeated questioning since late 2024, and denies any wrongdoing under the Capital Markets Act. These developments sustain trader consensus around a 61.5% implied probability of formal charges by December 31, 2026, while underscoring the evidentiary and procedural thresholds that could still alter the outcome before year-end.
