Suspicion has been raised that Kim, the CEO of Initial Entertainment, the agency of actress Sung Yu-ri, owned the shares of Vident, the largest shareholder of Bithumb.
On the morning of the 18th, Sung Yu-ri’s agency said to YTN Star, “It is difficult to understand personal investment.”
Earlier on the 17th, a media reported that Initial Entertainment CEO Kim was a major investor in Vident, the largest shareholder of Bithumb.
According to the report, Mr. Kim’s stocks are at least 300,000 shares, with a present value of about 1.3 billion won. In particular, it is reported that Kim borrowed more than 1 billion won using this stock as collateral.
The relationship between Sung Yu-ri and Bithumb began to draw attention when the close relationship between Kang Jong-hyun, who is suspected of being the real owner of Bithumb, and Sung Yu-ri’s husband, Ahn Seong-hyun, became known.
Earlier on the 12th, another media reported that the expensive foreign car that Kang Jong-hyun was riding belonged to Ahn Sung-hyun.
At that time, Sung Yu-ri’s side said, “Sung Yu-ri has no knowledge of whether or to what extent Sung Yu-ri is close with her husband and Kang Jong-hyun.”
