It was revealed that Yang Hyun Suk, the former Chairman of YG Entertainment, had threatened an informant to cover up the drug case of one YG artist.
Prosecutors stated in the trial that took place on August 13 KST, that Yang Hyun Suk had threatened informant 'A,' who reported that former iKON member B.I. purchased drugs.
Yang Hyun Suk was put on trial on charges of trying to cover up and disrupt the investigations against B.I.'s drug case by threatening 'A.'
According to the prosecution, Yang Hyun Suk threatened 'A' by saying, "I have access to the police reports, you should take back your statement... Killing someone like you is nothing to the entertainment industry..." and "You should be a good kid, do you believe you should be a bad kid?"
Yang Hyun Suk's lawyer stated, "The defendant met with 'A' but did not threaten or force the individual to make a false statement."
Meanwhile, the court was criticized that it is proceeding with the trial as quickly as possible, in consideration of Yang Hyun Suk's fame. The judge stated, "I'll try to finish the trial within this year as much as possible. It's not desirable for the defendant to be exposed in court often given his fame."

People forget that Bom's scandal was supposed to be a Yang Hyun Suk scandal, all about his undue ininfluence on the legal system, and he somehow managed to keep one of his artist's booking and investigation underwraps, when usually law enforcement has those freely available to the media.
It was open secret that YG did everything in his ability to get in good with the law enforcement in Gangnam, hongdae and itaewon, so that he could keep his idols and trainees out of the appearance of trouble.
Informant A, being who she is may be crooked and criminal, but that does not automatically make her testimony invalid, and in my mind *especially* when that testimony is about YG. If she blew the whistle on Lee Soo Man, Park Jin Young, or Bang Shi Hyuk, I'd have an extreme sense of skeptecism, but YG is a sleaze, and more than a fair share of sleazes have passed through YGE's halls. (this comes from someone who's a BlackJack, and loved Se7en, BigBand/GD)
FOr final display of YG's Sleaze just read his stories about how he groomed his Wife, and how he treated her group (so he could date and marry her)
