Han Seohee asks that the focus be kept on YG, Yang Hyun Suk confirms to having taken her phone away

Controversial trainee and confessed drug dealer Han Seo Hee has been confirmed as "A" in B.I's drugs scandal which resulted in his departure from Ikon but while she admits to the deed and is returning to Korea to face the music, she urges the public to focus on those higher on the totem pole of drug distribution, referring to YG Entertainment.

In the first of the following articles cited, Han Seo Hee told police she delivered the powerful hallucinogenLSD to Ikon's dorm consistent with the Katalk conversation featuring the ex-Ikon leader. Han Seo Hee also states she was summoned to YG headquarters where she was told "it would be easy to make your life difficult" if she didn't retract her story, a statement which constitutes a clear threat. YG Entertainment claims the meeting's purpose was merely to verify the truth of her statement. 

In the second linked article, Han Seo Hee claims she brought the drugs from another drug dealer and sold the LSD to B.I at the same price she paid for them, suggesting she functioned as an intermediary to another drug dealer. At no point does Han Seo Hee proclaim innocence but rather that other much larger players are involved in the drug scheme.

The the third article linked below, Yang Hyun Suk freely admits he took her phone from her which brings up a new set of questions, including, where is this phone now? If the authorities do not have this phone, it becomes plausible that additional data on that phone could exist implicating others within the organization, possibly including other YG staff and/or popular idols. Obfuscating evidence from the police however, is also considered a serious crime so the mysterious phone now becomes an item of particular interest. 

As a result of these unfolding events, netizen reactions have proven extremely critical of YG Entertainment and Yang Hyun Suk. It remains to be seen what long term damage these repeated scandal will have on YG's operations but suffice it to say, the agency's image has suffered severely and perhaps irrevocably so.

1. [+2,432, -65] She's right, the focus right now should be on Yang Hyun Suk and his threats and connections to the police. She can pay the consequences for her own crimes.

2. [+2,257, -67] I guess there's a time when even she says the right things.. but how powerful is YG that her identity wasn't able to be protected?

3. [+1,868, -64] No point in praising her or criticizing her on this case. We just need to focus on YG and their connections to the police.

4. [+180, -3] She made a public service report and got her identity outed in return... I can't even tell how far up the chain goes. How has this scandal been going on for months and yet only Jung Jun Young and his buddies have been jailed??? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ What are the police actually doing?

5. [+125, -1] The target right now is Yang Hyun Suk

6. [+122, -3] She's right. And she's already paid the legal consequence for her crime. It's time to focus on taking YG down.

7. [+71, -0] Imagine how much she's been itching to get this out ㅠ

8. [+64, -3] She's right, we can't let YG distract us. I'm going to see through it that I see YG break down. Please boycott their drama, variety, and music ㅠㅠ please you pigs

1. [+2,166, -22] What Yang Hyun Suk threatened her with gives me goosebumps. He's just a mafia thug pretending to be a CEO;;

2. [+1,296, -143] Is YG above the law? Why is the government protecting them?

3. [+724, -17] Yang Hyun Suk is at the center of every scandal. He needs to be investigated. He's been at the center of every crime.

4. [+160, -5] She's right though, why was her identity even revealed when she reported it anonymously?

5. [+140, -1] She's a bad person but what she said is right. This is the time that we should be focusing on Yang Hyun Suk so that we don't have to see another kid like BI or Seungri again.

1. [+3,073, -9] Not only is YG hopeless in all of this but the police too. So many drug related scandals in YG coming out and yet not one proper investigation on them. I don't know how much the police have been paid but I can't even imagine how they're able to bury all of this so far, tsk tsk tsk.

2. [+1,157, -12] Apparently there's another idol that YG buried a drug scandal for aside from BI... A boycott against YG isn't the issue here, they need to be taken down and have all their artists under investigation.

3. [+937, -9] Why does Naver not have Yang Hyun Suk up on the search rankings ㅡㅡ;;

4. [+1,050, -183] This is the first time I'm supporting Han Seohee. The trash media, the police, the foolish public need to focus on YG and Burning Sun.

5. [+189, -20] I hate Han Seohee but I support her. She's already paid the price of her crime so why hasn't YG?

Article: Yang Hyun Suk, "It's true that I took A's phone away" confirms meeting with Han Seohee

1. [+390, -7] What's most important right now is that YG is a publicly traded company. A scandal of this size will eventually affect their stock prices and that will force their stockholders to take action.

2. [+372, -9] He's truly trash... Seo Taiji was right

3. [+287, -4] He's no Yang Hyun Suk, he's a Yang Ah Chi (thug)

4. [+24, -1] I have never seen YG take responsibility for any scandal and apologize for it. They've always ignored it or put out some half assed excuse. YG, no one but you made your company what it is now.

5. [+21, -0] This might be his last chance... YG really needs to be shaken down and taken down.

6. [+11, -0] I believe Han Seohee's words more than his

7. [+10, -0] I wonder what his child will grow up to see him as in the future

8. [+7, -0] If BI is so innocent, then why did you interfere with his drug investigations? Why did you order someone to take Han Seohee's phone away and force her to take back her testimony? Trash YG, isn't the answer so obvious here?
