In the latest of setbacks for beleaguered Kpop agency YG Entertainment, hashtag #StopLyingYGE
began trending June 30 casting doubt upon Yang Hyun Suk's official statement about B.I's leave from Ikon earlier this month in the wake of a drugs scandal which made global headlines.

A reporter broadcast her findings: earlier today

"B.I did not leave because he wanted to, but since YG has received criticism about him dealing with the Seungri situation before, he just told B.I to leave. I've heard from the member”.

Reportedly a current yet anonymous Ikon member leaked the information to the press.

Ikon fans rallied around reports B.I did not leave the group voluntarily as originally stated but rather was forced into resignation by Yang Hyun Suk shortly before he himself resigned from the company's operations.

Outraged fans banded together with the goal of raising awareness to this latest revelation and demand an official statement from YG Entertainment as well as Hanbin's reinstatement as an Ikon member. 

This reporter's bombshell represents the latest scandal in a string of major controversies YG Entertainment faced this year. Amidst allegations of prostitution, tax fraud, declining stock value, the loss of their CEO and the seemingly irrevocable tarnishing of a once dominant Korean entertainment powerhouse's reputation, YG's problems don't appear to have an end in immediate sight. 

How these new details will affect the agency remains to be seen but many fans have made no secret of their disappointment with YG's management strategies as they appear motivated to protect the company's interests at the expense of their artists.
