The Seoul Metropolitan Policy Agency has summoned HYBE founder Bang Si Hyuk to further investigate about the unfair share trading case. The Korea Herald has reported that the businessman was issued his fifth summon on November 18, 2025. More details about the matter are awaited but the report also specifies that the questioning has not been completed yet. Hence, Si Hyuk has been asked to appear again.

For those unaware, he was questioned twice this month and the previous dates include October 15 and 22. He has been accused of indulging in fraudulent and unfair trading under the Capital Markets Act. Moreover, the questioning is also around the allegations of him misleading the investors by denying any plans for an IPO. He allegedly asked the investors to sell their shares in HYBE to a private equity fund (PEF) he is associated with.

At that time, HYBE was quietly laying the groundwork for its public listing. As a result, when the company finally moved forward with its IPO, Bang was said to have profited through an agreement that granted him 30% of the returns from the private equity fund. This was allegedly an arrangement that was never revealed during the IPO.

Moreover, an official email from his email address went to the employees to assure them that he would cooperate with the investigators. He penned, “Over the last year, much has been said and written about me in the press. Increasingly, I believe these events are causing confusion and concern for you, as well as our artists, fans, and partners… I will fully and transparently work with investigators and put these allegations to rest,” Bang said and then added, “In particular, I feel a deep sense of regret knowing that our members and artists, who should be focused solely on their creative and professional goals, might be suffering because of this situation … I understand how my absence may have contributed to confusion and frustration.”

The intense trailer was unveiled at Dhurandhar’s trailer launch today in Mumbai. It showed intense confrontations and raw visuals, as Ranveer’s character deals through an India and Pakistan conflict.

Apart from Ranveer, Dhurandhar also stars Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal and Sara Arjun in leading roles.

During the trailer launch, Ranveer added, “We wanted to create a feature presentation that’s at par with any film in the world. Our attempt was to level up in every aspect of the cinematic process to create a film that we as Indians can be proud of. Its raw, its gritty and is unapologetically Indian. Aditya has pitched it perfectly. It’s an incredible and complex story, with world class technical execution and intense performances.”

He further shared, “We wanted to make an unapologetically Indian film that gets counted amongst the most elite instalments in this genre worldwide. I believe it is India’s moment to shine on the global stage. And we aim to be at the heart of that moment and that phenomenon whilst honouring and staying true to our roots. It’s been an experience of a lifetime collaborating with Aditya on this courageous endeavour. We are grateful to be partnering with Jyoti at Jio Studios who has flexed her might and left no stone unturned in backing this brave leap in Indian cinema.”
