South Korean police referred HYBE chairman Bang Si-hyuk and four associates to prosecutors on September 3, 2026, on charges of fraudulent unfair trading under the Capital Markets Act tied to the 2020 listing, alleging 263.1 billion won in improper gains from misleading existing shareholders about IPO plans. Prosecutors must now decide on indictment, further investigation, or dismissal after previously rejecting two police arrest warrant requests in April and May for insufficient grounds. Bang and HYBE deny any violation, asserting full compliance with disclosure rules, while a court has preserved assets matching the alleged proceeds. The recent referral without detention and prosecutors’ prior caution underpin trader consensus that formal charges remain unlikely by year-end.
