On the 18th, the Seoul Central District Court held a third trial on charges such as violating the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes by Yang. Person A, a former YG trainee who first informed the police of B.IŌĆÖs drug usage, took back his statement during the investigation. Then in June 2019, he claimed that he was forced to retract his initial statement under pressure from YG Entertainment. At the trial, the prosecution asked A, ŌĆ£Is it true that Yang said, ŌĆśI am a person who can see all the testimony statements. You are in the entertainment industry, and itŌĆÖs easy for me to kill you.‘ŌĆØ To which he replied, ŌĆ£Yes.ŌĆØ He elaborated, ŌĆ£I really thought that I would die if I didnŌĆÖt listen to his words. I was so scared because he threatened me so much, and he didnŌĆÖt seem like the person I knew.ŌĆØ However, YangŌĆÖs attorney admitted to their client meeting the former trainee but denied any coercion and threats being made. Meanwhile, B.I faced the charges of illegally possessing and using the cannabis and LSD that he purchased from A around April and May of 2016. The court sentenced the artist to three years in prison and four years of probation. Source (1) Translator Kim Hoyeun: If you are a fan of K-drama, K-movie, and K-pop, I am your guy.
