Court orders 156.8 billion won in HYBE stocks from Bang Sihyuk for confiscation, alleging fraudulent trading.

Preservation of assets is a procedure to freeze assets suspected of being obtained through a crime until a final judgment is reached, preventing the defendant from disposing of the proceeds. This refers to preserving assets in case a situation arises where they are subject to confiscation, depending on the outcome of the sentencing.

The case was reportedly filed by the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office upon the request of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's Financial Crimes Investigation Unit.

On this day, a HYBE representative told Ilgan Sports, "Foreclosure preservation is a routine procedure and does not constitute a determination of guilt or innocence. We have faithfully participated in the investigation and provided explanations, and are awaiting the investigative authorities' decision." [Nate]
