Yang Hyun Suk former YG representative acknowledges all charges in the first trial of "Overseas Expeditionary Gaming"
Although he was accused of performing an overseas expedition gambling, he was sentenced to a formal trial by Yang Hyun Suk former YG Entertainment representative (50).

On the 9th, the Seoul West District Court opened a trial date for four people, including Yang former representative who was charged with gambling charges and YG affiliate representative Kim (37) and Lee (41).

Yang former representatives were charged with making a total of 24 departures from July 2016 to January 28, 2019 and betting about 400 million won worth of money with five acquaintances at a casino in Las Vegas, USA.

The prosecution had previously demanded a brief order from them, but the court put it in formal proceedings, saying that due to the nature of the case it was inappropriate to make a judgment only by a written hearing.

Representative Yang Yan quickly entered the court without answering any questions from reporters asking whether he would accept the charges or how he felt about the formal trial.

After that, a lawyer on behalf of Yang former representative admitted all the gambling charges at the trial, saying that "all the facts of prosecution were accepted".

However, the court stated that during the prosecution process, the former representative of Yang, who had been suspected of gambling at the time of the police inquiry, needed additional consideration regarding the fact that the suspicion was changed to simple gaming.

After the trial, former Yang former representative left the court silently when asked by interviewers such as "Do you deny the suspicion of habitual gambling?"

Meanwhile, the next trial of representatives of the former Yang, etc. will be held at 2:00 pm on October 28.
