[theqoo] [I WANT TO KNOW] BI WHO BECAME AN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AT KO HYUNJUNG AND JO INSUNG'S AGENCY, THE BEHIND STORY (FT. SSANGBANGWOOL)

BI (real name Kim Hanbin) who quit his group iKON after being caught in a drug controversy suddenly became the executive director of IOK Company.

(article announcing that he's been appointed as the new ED of IOK)

IOK Company is a big corporation that houses many big names celebrities like Jo Insung and Ko Hyunjung. 

There's also Boom, Lee Hyejung, Choi Eunkyung, Jung Juri, Ong Jimin, Hwang Hyunhee, Ji Seokjin, Chaoru, Byun Jungsoo, Oh Sangjin, Moon Jungwon, etc. 

It was actually confirmed that his name was announced in the extraordinary shareholders meeting

Executive director/ Jang Jinwoo/ 1978.09.30/ 3 years/ currently in Ssangbangwool Group (SBW group), Future Strategic media chief of head quarters/ New appointmnet/ Korea

Executive Director/ Kim Hanbin/ 1996.10.22/ 3 years/ currently singer in 131 Label/ New appointment/ Korea

"IOK, Jang Jinwoo new appointment as representative director"

All the 8 people that were mentioned in the notice are newly appointed people

This includes BI and the Future Strategic media chief of head quarters from SBW Group

Let's pay closer attention to SBW Group

If we go back in time, BI's family has opened a new store called TRY 4 years ago (TRY is a SBW brand) 

"BI's mother's shop (subtitle: my underwears too TRY....) "Hanbinie's mom opened a store! The name is T.R.Y!!! I went to the store and there's a lot of fans content that she gathered~"" (post from 2016)

"[Kim Hanbin/BI] 160105 Hanbin TRY (Gimpo store) visit pictures) "BI's mom is running a underwears shop right now! It's TRY's Gimpo branch!! [...]" (post from 2016)

And what's becoming a heated argument right now is this: 

Should we praise what's worth praising VS it's all media play regarding the mask donations

"[Exclusive] BI's quiet good actions, donates 100K masks for COVID19 prevention"

"He started by sending around 20K to fans domestically and 20K to Chinese fans. It was also revealed that he is planning to send the masks to Japan, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, etc. after consulting with them. The total cost was around 200M won to which SBW Groups' NAMYEUNG VIVIEN CORPORATION provided help/strength for." (February 2020 article)

As expected, NAMYEUNG VIVIEN CORPORATION is a subsidiary of SBW Group. 

Meanwhile, the journalist from Sports World who wrote this exclusive article also released another exclusive article the next day about BI's drug test coming out negative. 

Let alone the fact that it was 4 years prior (t/n: that he did drugs), it was revealed only through indictment opinion that it was negative!!

"[Exclusive] iKONs withdrawn member BI, drug test comes out negative"

After that, BI was seen sharing about voluntary activities with SBW group

Even his family would appear

"Marijuana controversy" BI, volunteering activities while visiting the nursery facilities... Disciplined whereabouts (2020 article)

"Smoking Marijuana" BI doing volunteering... acquaintances "I feel bad for the tinted glasses on him" (2020 article)

These kinds of articles started popping out out of the blue

Meanwhile SBW Group:

"SBW Group, Full scale production of masks... Chinese factory at full capacity"

They've started manufacturing masks back in February

"SBW group planning for future strategic roads for the 4th industrial revolution to enter the KPOP market with KPOP marketing. 

The newly appointed minister of "future strategies" office Park Ilsung announces that "with the obvious traditional flagship products which are the underwears, we will be starting a new business in masks marketing and KPOP contents and AI smart life advertisement""

They've started advancing into the KPOP marketing in the 4th industrial revolution... They're also starting masks marketing as a hybrid to the business.... So the story about BI, a KPOP idol doing volunteering work and donating masks start to sound a bit suspicious

Moreover, in November last year, SBW had a merger and acquisition with NAMYEUNG VIVIEN and with Pobis TNC this year in February

"Pobis TNC acquired Ko Junghyun, Jo Insung's agency IOK company"

They ended up acquiring IOK Company

And they're in a situation where there are concerns being raised about poor governance and structure right now

"Lack of transparency in IOK Company's parent company decision"[...]

"Won Youngsik, representative of W Holdings have acquired IOK Company last month on the 6th by reorganizing the entertainment industry"[...] "Pobis acquired 38.45% of IOK Company's stake becoming the biggest investor"

[...]

For the reason for the concerns, let's look at SBW's chairman

Chairman Kim Sungtae from SBW Group and Singer BI became Santas for a day and and threw a Christmas party to the kids of Shin Mang Won. 

Apparently he became a santa for a day with BI last year

"SBW Kim Sungtae"

"SBW Kim Sungtae chairman"
"SBW Kim Sungtae gangster"

"The chairman of SBW Group who used to be in a gang, illegal money-lending to businesses"

"The cruel history SBW Group who lead a shameful life of a gangster"

"From fabricated stocks to illegal business loans... SBW chairman's[..]"

"Doing societal work is the punishment for criminals... Retreat as a volunteer"

.... Let's stop here

I don't know for sure with what kind of relations BI was able to be promoted as a director, 

but you can trace back without any difficulty his relationship with IOK Company 

Here's BI's whereabouts: 

"BI, suspicions of marijuana" Resume investigations... Police summons the informant again"

"The police sent their indictment opinion that BI did indeed purchase the drugs and that it was administered. In April~May of 2016, BI purchased marijuana and LSD through Assi and was accused of administering it."

BI is currently being remitted by indictment opinion at the police station (it has nothing to do with his test turning out negative) and is being investigated by the police for purchasing and admisnistering marijuana and LSD.

9. From drugs to being associated with gangs? Hulㅋㅋ

10. I was wondering why W Holdings sound so similar... And wasn't this the place where Shim madame comes from? Crazy they're all connected (t/n: Shim Madame is a figure that was theorized to be controlling KPOP entertainment, police, and media, related to BS and Jang Jayeon)

11. There are still people shielding BI right now, please wake up 

12. That article was hilariousㅋㅋ  He took drugs 4 years ago, of course it will turn out negative in the test, why is he media playing with that?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ  BI's I-roaches are taking that article and "proving" that BI has done nothing wrong and that he's just some victim of a witch hunt

13. OP is daebak!!!
