South Korean prosecutors have twice rejected police requests for an arrest warrant against HYBE chairman Bang Si-hyuk in the ongoing investor-fraud probe tied to the company's 2020 IPO, citing insufficient evidence and directing further investigation. The allegations center on 2019 statements that allegedly misled shareholders about listing plans, but the case has shown limited momentum since the initial probe phase, with Bang denying all claims. As of mid-2026, no indictment has been filed despite earlier warrant attempts, and the procedural setbacks plus the time required for complex securities cases support trader consensus favoring no formal charges by year-end.
