YG's stock price has plummeted to a new low amid reports of illegal prostitution in a building owned by Big Bang member Daesung.
According to Korea's Stock Exchange Wednesday, YG stock was trading at 25,500 won, a 3.77% drop from the previous day and the lowest stock price in history for the agency. YG stocks were trading at 43,000 won in January but has seen continuous decline for 6 consecutive months since Seungri's 'Burning Sun' and Yang Hyun Suk's 'prostitution' scandals.
In a related development, police recently began investigating Yang Hyun Suk as a suspect and are considering additional measures like tracking his bank accounts and enforcing a travel ban. In addition, the Seoul Regional Tax Office has announced that the committee has approved a tax probe into YG and its former CEO Yang Hyun Suk for alleged tax evasion due to irregularities detected.
Even if Yang Hyun Suk avoids legal punishment, YG Entertainment will inevitably deal with a substantial blow to its future performance.
