On the 18th, the 11th Criminal Division of the Seoul Western District Court (Chief Judge Bae Sung-Jun) announced the third indictment of Yang HYUN-SUK (KPD), who was indicted on charges of violating the Act on Aggravated Punishment of Certain Crimes (tariffs).
Prior to this, in September 2014, Yang Hyun-suk (KPD) had traveled to Singapore to attend a concert schedule for YG artists and an investment agreement ceremony for a brand company.
Before visiting, he asked Mr. A, the Asia representative of a luxury watch brand, to prepare a watch. The watch Yang HYUNSUKPD received was worth about 800 million won (about 80 million yen).
The watch in question is not for sale on the market, and according to the Customs Act, when importing goods from overseas, the name, specifications, quantity and price of the goods in question must be declared.
The PD did not report it. When Yang HYUNSUKPD was given a brand watch as a gift and did not report it to customs, YG Entertainment said, "Yang HYUNSUKPD was given a brand watch as a gift and did not report it to customs, which caused an issue.
Around 2014, the watch company in question had been entrusted with advertising, and the company had sponsored the product and aired it on television in Korea. In 2017, the company in question brought in a large number of watches without going through customs.
"In 2017, Yang Hyun-suk PD was investigated in good faith.
Yang Hyun-suk PD also stated in the second hearing held in January that he "cannot remember (when he received the watches) and cannot identify them."
He denied the charges.
