Lawyer Bang Jung Hyun releases official statement, says YG should be focus of the case, not “A”

[rockerista03.livejournal.com]

On June 17, lawyer Bang Jung Hyun released an official statement on behalf of “A,” the informant who came forward with information about YG Entertainment and the agency’s alleged use of police connections to cover up the 2016 case of B.I and his reported involvement with drugs.

Lawyer Bang Jung Hyun was the one that submitted the documents to the Anti-Corruption & Civil Rights Commission on behalf of “A”, who was recently revealed as Han Seo Hee, and in the statement, he stressed that the focus should be on the case, not the informant.

Here is the full statement:

This is lawyer Bang Jung Hyun. I was the one who made the report to the Anti-Corruption & Civil Rights Commission (hereafter ACRC) [on behalf of “A”].

The ACRC is currently reviewing the contents of the report, and will be selecting an investigative organization to whom they will transfer the case.

The informant made an anonymous report to the ACRC through a proxy. As a result, “A” will be summoned by the investigative organization chosen by the ACRC to be questioned. This is in line with [the informant’s] intentions in filing the anonymous report to the ACRC.

The informant will wholly comply with the decisions made by the ACRC. If the informant were to go to the investigative organization on their own [without summons] to receive questioning, it would defeat the purpose of making [an anonymous] report to the ACRC.

Recently, through an economic entertainment media outlet, the informant’s name was revealed. This is a clear infraction of the law that protects whistleblowers. The reason that the informant is currently residing abroad is due to the dangers that follow the recent report.

Moreover, police have revealed the informant’s location to various media outlets, and they are continuously revealing which country the informant is in in real-time. In addition, there are countless speculative reports saying that ‘it seems the informant doesn’t plan to respond to summons.’

The point of this case is not the informant. The point is how the suspicions regarding B.I and his alleged involvement with drugs were covered up. The point is looking into whether there was any YG influence in the police as the case came to a full stop. I ask that you focus on the essence of the case and not the informant.

Once again, the informant will comply with the decisions made by the ACRC. Once the investigative organization is selected, the informant will return to Korea to go in for questioning.

Thank you.

Meanwhile, police have revealed that they will be forming a task force to investigate B.I and YG Entertainment with regards to suspected drug use and ties to police.

"police have revealed the informant’s location to various media outlets, and they are continuously revealing which country the informant is in in real-time."

Wait.. what, why? Because they are in YG's pocket?

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

This is such a mess omg. How the police is allowed to reveal the adress of the informant. This is against the law isn't it? O0 it's a good interview, people need to focus here. The amount of disdain for the law and justice is disturbing :v the coalition between the police and Yg is cristal clear but I suppose they need full proof ans with the police having the cards in hands... It's so frustrating #scream

YG's a mobster. Lock him the fuck up.

[love-keiko.livejournal.com]

like CLEARLY. at this point saying otherwise would be wildly offensive given everything we've seen so far.

[raved.livejournal.com]

When I said YG should be the main focus, IKon fans jumped on me on twitter and I still have no idea why lol.

[belintuchiha.livejournal.com]

there's fans defending YG out there which is awful

[raved.livejournal.com]

It really is. And even when they're not explicitly defending YG, it's like they care more about a drug dealer than corruption?

The only thing I can think of is some people are afraid that if YG does have police in their pocket, it means something about BI was covered up, and fans don't want the good image they have of him tainted. :\

[belintuchiha.livejournal.com]

I mean.. BI already admitted doing drugs on the texts that were released but fans are screaming it’s false etc

So idk if they’ll end up believing what comes out anyway lol they’d prob defend him no matter what. To them he’s an innocent pure angel 🙄

[raved.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I tried bringing up that it's sketchy that she changed her statement after YG talked to her, and it was just met with how she's a pathological liar.

Probably lol

[suggestivepeach.livejournal.com]

A lot of them are super sensitive rn. In the process of believing that their oppas are innocent, they also have led themselves to believe that there is a smear campaign against YG.

[raved.livejournal.com]

That's true, you're right. Someone tried telling me Han Seohee was targeting people in YG. lol

[suggestivepeach.livejournal.com]

Eek. That’s not even the most far-fetched theory I’ve seen so far.

[blck-ink.livejournal.com]

another reason why not to trust the police

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

The police's behaviour is REALLY concerning. I'm glad the lawyer released a statement calling them out (also, it's a good statement). I hope it helps

[rainstormraider.livejournal.com]

This lawyer is doing all the right things but nothing will come out of this. The corruption runs too deep. The police are not going to do their jobs because they would rather look incompetent than corrupt.

corrupt police continue to be corrupt

[daynr.livejournal.com]

That's a good statement, and brave for directly stating the police are continuously putting her in danger.

I'm really tired of women having to be beyond perfect for their words to have minimal value. A can be both a person who broke the law, and an informant.

everywhere in the world the police are corrupt

Recently, through an economic entertainment media outlet, the informant’s name was revealed. This is a clear infraction of the law that protects whistleblowers.

exactly. like, she went specifically to that organisation because they were to keep her identity protected, and within HOURS her identity had been revealed. that's a literal crime.

Moreover, police have revealed the informant’s location to various media outlets, and they are continuously revealing which country the informant is in in real-time.

also probably a crime? it's like they're doxxing her.
