Chapter 238 Is money more important than me? No, you are priceless.
On January 4, 2013, the Seoul Inspection Office officially opened an investigation into Yang Hyun-suk's illegal smuggling of two expensive watches. At the same time as the official announcement was released, D agency once again broke the news.
[Dispatch Exclusive: YG CEO Yang Hyun-suk returns to crime - suspected of illegal gambling worth hundreds of millions of won overseas. ]
The news detailed the details of Yang Hyun-suk and two shareholders of the company gambling illegally in Las Vegas, USA. The Financial Intelligence Analysis Service captured illegal fund flows of up to 1.3 billion won.
If the money is won in this illegal gambling, the investor will return the money, and if the investor loses, the investor will use the won in the Korean account to repay the money, thus successfully escaping the losses caused by foreign exchange transactions.
Yang Hyun Suk had just been investigated for smuggling, and D agency revealed that he had engaged in illegal gambling abroad. Even netizens couldn't help but sigh, "It's too cruel! D agency is really too cruel."
If this charge is also proven, how many times will Yang Hyun Suk have to go to court? And it’s too much of a disrespect to say that crime has returned!
There was a lot of discussion on the Internet, and it was not until today when Yang Hyun Suk was officially filed that he felt that "someone was messing with" him.
After all, the person behind him is the next president. How could a case be filed just because of such a small matter in just a few days? What's more, the fact that overseas gambling was entrusted to the official financial analysis institute means that this matter was premeditated.
As for Distributor...even if he was not involved in Ji-ryong and Ye-eun's official announcement plan, he knew that Distributor was cooperating with Ye-eun, right?
So when he started to wonder who was behind this, the first person that came to his mind was Ye-eun.
But Ye-eun is just an artist...how could she possibly know so many things?
Yang Hyun-suk's younger brother Yang Min-suk has always had a close relationship with his older brother. He had already started investigating D-agency when the agency started to expose the news, "I heard that an entertainment company has cooperated with them."
"No matter who it is," the two looked at each other, with a hint of ruthlessness in their similar droopy eyes, "During the time I am under investigation, you have to take good care of the company, keep the artists' work going, and stabilize the stock price."
Yang Hyun-suk glanced at his worried brother and smiled, "Don't worry, as long as President Park doesn't fall, nothing will happen to me, right?"
The next day, he went to the Inspectorate wearing a mask and a hat. Reporters who had received the inside information had already crowded the door of the Inspectorate, and the microphones were closer and closer. Yang Hyun Suk, who always liked to be the center of attention, frowned this time and was about to avoid these reporters without saying a word.
"I heard that the stylist named Yang who was investigated by the police today for drug abuse is an employee of YG. I would like to ask if he provided drugs to the artists as a middleman?"
The reporter from D Agency was all smiles. When many other reporters were shocked and inquiring about the news, he held the microphone in front of Yang Hyun Suk and asked, "What role did President Yang Hyun Suk play in this?"
Yang Hyun Suk stared at him closely, then suddenly laughed, picked up the press card beside him, looked at the name on it carefully, and strode away.
Good, not the reporter that Ye-eun was friends with. Yang Hyun Suk entered the Supervisory Office with an expressionless face, and he wanted to drag all YG artists into the water here. It seems more likely that this is a commercial war behavior of other entertainment companies.
On January 5, the YG stylist Yang Seung-ho, nicknamed "Yokan Benming", was reported and investigated. As a 2NE1 stylist who has appeared on 2NE1 TV many times, naturally many people immediately linked him to 2NE1.
Compared to Yang Hyun Suk and the stylist, the artist's material can attract more public attention!
However, just when everyone was applying for an official investigation into YG artists, 2NE1's official account actually released a new song.
"Gettin' Dumb" - 2NE1, will.i.am, apl.de.ap.
You guys are releasing new songs when the president is under investigation and a case has even been filed!
YG's popularity this week had already overshadowed all other entertainment companies, and when everyone heard the lyrics that were repeated many times in the song, they were shocked and speechless.
"We gettin' dumb, gettin' dumb."
Are you crazy? Is this a song that can be released at this time?
Yang Minshuo also threw the documents in his hand on the table with a cold face and yelled at the 2NE1 members and the manager Xiaopang: "Are you crazy to release this kind of song at this time!?"
Ye-eun frowned and pulled the frightened Min-ji behind her: "What's the point of yelling at us, Director? We didn't release this album. Will.i.am just happened to release an album at this time. We have been recording this song for several months."
She rolled her eyes. "And didn't you say that all work plans are going on as usual? Others released an album and specifically @ us, we can't just pretend we didn't see it, right?"
Yang Min-seok, who had never cared about music and focused on YGX, was stunned by what she said. For the first time, he experienced the frustration of his brother being refuted by this girl.
But what she said does make sense. After all, how can they, the Koreans, interfere with the Black Eyed Peas' lead singer releasing an album?
Yang Minshuo looked at them coldly, and finally raised his hand and waved them out of his office: "No promotion of songs!"
Ye-eun, who was being pushed out by Xiaopang, glanced at Yang Min-seok and after two seconds of holding back, she couldn't help but complain: "This song is a collaboration with two foreign singers, and there was no plan to promote it. If you know nothing about music, you should leave it to someone else."
"Get lost!" Yang Min Suk glared at Ye Eun, raised his hand and patted his chest to calm himself down. Don't be angry, you can't be angry. YG is in a shaky situation now. If the artists think about running away at this time, then YG will be really finished.
Especially for 2NE1, it’s been five years since their debut and they haven’t even finalized their contract renewal yet.
He sat down again with a sullen face, but his mind was still thinking about what Yien had just said.
Indeed, he has never been responsible for music-related work, and taking over everything rashly might have a counterproductive effect.
Yang Minshuo pondered for a moment, and finally sent a message to his brother who was in a quagmire recently.
The other party seemed to be very busy and did not reply to the message until several hours later.
[As for music production, let the artists take control of it themselves, and let their agents review the process issues. If that doesn’t work, you and Li Yuanmei can take control of it together. ]
The two directors who were in charge together before were also under investigation for overseas gambling. For a moment, Yang Hyun Suk could only think of Lee Won Mi.
He met the eyes of several bodyguards around him, put away his phone, and sat upright again in the reception room waiting.
With his current status, he cannot meet the next president, but he can meet the next president’s best friend, Ms. Cui.
Yang Hyun Suk sat calmly, thinking that things would soon be settled.
However, the day after he met Ms. Cui, when he was delighted with her verbal consent, Agency D issued another press release.
[Dispatch exclusive: YGX - an erotic exchange called a company, how much filth is hidden under YG? ]
[Dispatch exclusive: Exclusive interview with former YGX dance crew, current Free Mind dance crew member: I just want to dance well, I don’t want to accompany drinking, even if the person in front of me is a powerful figure in the Republic of Korea, every day of life is beautiful after becoming independent from YG. ]
[Dispatch exclusive: Money-for-power transaction? Stylist Yang works for YGX. Who does YGX provide services to? Is the next president involved? ]
The three consecutive news items were more explosive than any of the previous ones. Not only did they involve sex transactions, but they also directly mentioned the names of people close to the next president in the press releases.
One stone caused a thousand ripples, and all of a sudden, the Korean netizens who were originally just watching the show began to get angry.
[Shit, are you saying that the next president is also related to what is going on here?! ? Is this the case before you even take office? ]
[Asi, can we believe what D agency revealed about YG? Aren’t they at odds with each other? ]
[If it is true, can I withdraw my vote? You bastard! ]
[Are you crazy... How can an entertainment company be involved in so many things? ]
[Oh my god, is YG going to be finished? What should I do with my Bigbang and 2NE1? ]
[2NE1’s contract is about to expire so they can still run, but Bigbang… they still have four years left. ]
[What kind of bastard is Yang Hyun Suk! ! ! Smuggling, tax evasion, illegal gambling, bribery, sex trade, ah, there may also be drug problems and forced prostitution...]
[He is a devil, right? D agency was right about the return of crime... How many times has he been to the Inspectorate in the past half month? ]
[It is terrible for a person to do one of the above things, but he did all of them. ]
[Oh my god, is he □□? ]
[Oh my god, many of our 2NE1 and Bigbang kids grew up in YG...]
[Wow, the YGX dance troupe in the news said these things started after Bigbang and 2NE1 became popular, and Ye-eun dug out the YGX dance troupe, she really protected them very well. ]
[I feel like crying. Our Ye-eun is such a good child! ! ! ]
[I burst into tears. Even in the reports of D agency, Ye Eun was portrayed in a very positive light. Oh my god, that’s D agency, the one that’s against YG.] ]
[D agency’s negative news about YG may not be credible, but their positive news about YG artists is definitely credible…]
[Everyone used to criticize Yang Hyun Suk because of Ye Eun, but now you know what’s going on! ! ! Our Ye-eun is an angel! ]
[Bye, YG’s stock price has fallen so badly now, please don’t let it affect the artists, they are also victims, they are also trying hard to live. ]
Finished...
When Yang Hyun-suk received the call from Ms. Cui, he knew that his little chess piece had been abandoned.
The next president has not officially taken office yet, and she must not allow these negative news to damage her image. Even if Yang Hyun Suk himself was in this situation, he would have made the same decision. However, the moment he was thrown away without hesitation, he covered his face with his hands and started crying while laughing.
He worked so hard to become a chess piece, but he was swept off the board so easily.
The next president will take office in a few days. In order to prove that they have nothing to do with each other, he will surely face a "fair and impartial" or even more rigorous trial.
Yang Hyun Suk lowered his head and flipped through the report of D agency. When he saw the news saying that Ye Eun tried hard to protect the YGX dance troupe members from him, he suddenly laughed.
Regardless of whether it was a business war or not, it was impossible for this child to have not participated at all...
It really makes me angry.
He smiled and called a media person he was familiar with, "Yes, it's me. Ah, a member of 2NE1 may be involved in drug smuggling. Yes, Bom, you check it out."
Yang Hyun Suk stood up, and when he smiled, the wrinkles on his face became more obvious due to the hard work over the past half month.
He had sold all his shares in order to pay compensation and taxes in order to get a shorter sentence, but his brother was accused of more serious crimes because he served as the CEO of YGX.
It’s not certain what will happen to the company that he founded with his own hands in the future. Doesn’t this kid, who doesn’t know how much involvement he has in it, attach great importance to 2NE1?
Let me destroy it first, as my last gift to her.
On January 18, 2013, a media outlet released news.
[Accompanying stylist Yang Shenghao to smuggle drugs? 2NE1's Park Bom took banned drugs. ]
However, before the news could spread, official media immediately explained that this banned drug is used to treat mental illness, and there was also an exclusive interview with Bom.
In the picture, Park Chunsu's face was facing the sky. She didn't cry, but calmly recounted how she witnessed her friend die in front of her when she was a child, which led to her diagnosis of mental illness.
"When I first returned to Korea, I did buy this drug because I didn't know it was banned in Korea. Later, I bought it at the hospital through formal channels after being reminded by members." Park Chun said seriously, "Although I made a mistake at that time because of the differences in national conditions between the two countries, I also consulted relevant personnel and was punished at that time."
An interview from an official media outlet is naturally more authoritative than an interview from a private media outlet. Moreover, this is the first time that an artist has been interviewed without even having time to put on makeup after being slandered.
Being slandered, he still wants to expose his scars on the show...
Who on earth did this to them?
Aren’t YG’s recent artists miserable enough? Wouldn't it be enough for the president to take responsibility for his own mistakes?
Wait, D agency released the recording. Was this Yang Hyun Suk the one who leaked the slanderous information? Why! Are you crazy! ? Would it be good for him to ruin 2NE1?
Quan Zhilong looked at the trend of public opinion on the Internet, which was completely in line with Yien and the others' plan, and couldn't help but sigh: "Yeen, you are really terrible..."
If they were opponents, they would definitely kill us, right? Just like the president who is now restricted from leaving the country due to multiple investigations?
Ye-eun raised her eyebrows, very proudly: "The most important thing about public relations is to pick out innocent people while crushing one party."
"You've done more than just take it out. Who wouldn't sympathize with you now?" Quan Zhilong looked at one of the comments and sighed, "Everyone is begging you to terminate the contract."
He looked at Ye-eun, speechless: "Ah, why don't they think about the fact that I'm still here? What if you terminate my contract?"
Ye Eun laughed, kneeling beside his legs and raising her arms to wrap around his waist, burying her head in the crook of his neck and rubbing it, "Wow, the former president treated us like this, Ye Eun is so pitiful, the company must give us some compensation before we are willing to renew the contract."
Quan Zhilong chuckled, raised his hand and gently lifted Yien's chin and kissed the corner of her mouth, and asked in an ambiguous tone: "Hmm? Can't you stay for your boyfriend?"
"No." Ye Eun laughed, and changed her arms around his waist to around his neck. She slightly raised her chin that was being pinched by him, "This time it's a sky-high renewal fee."
"Money is more important than me, right?" Quan Zhilong snorted and leaned over to kiss her.
The tip of their tongues gently stirred in each other's mouths. Outside, the situation was turbulent, but the atmosphere in the small home they had just moved into was warm and cozy. Yi Eun lowered her head and kissed him. He attacked her lips and teeth fiercely. Both of their breathing began to become heavy. Kwon Ji-yong's hand also began to touch Yi Eun's waist restlessly.
It wasn't until his hands touched the skin on the back of her waist that Ye Eun smiled and leaned down to gently hold his lower lip, "How could that be? You're priceless."
Quan Zhilong paused, raised the corner of his mouth, hugged her waist and laughed softly, gently pulling her legs close to him, "You are."
