South Korean prosecutors rejected a police request for an arrest warrant against HYBE chairman Bang Si-hyuk on April 24 amid a long-running fraud probe alleging he misled investors in 2019 about the company's IPO plans, securing over $128 million in illicit gains through secret share sales. Despite the rejection citing insufficient detention grounds, police indicated potential reapplication following supplementary investigation, building on prior developments like a court-approved asset freeze and extended questioning since late 2025. Traders price "Yes" at 64%, reflecting consensus on mounting evidence and procedural momentum likely leading to formal charges by year-end, though prosecutorial discretion introduces uncertainty.
