Hosts of People who were Manipulating the Stock Price
Through Star Marketing were Exposed
So-called “hosts of people” who were accused of
gaining about 34 hundred million won in illegal-profits from stock price
manipulation by overstating the contract that they made with the
company where the famous Hallyu star Bae Yong Joon is a major
shareholder, and illegal trading (通情賣買. suehan: I don’t know the stock
terms, but it means they exchanged information or promise to manipulate
the stock price) were exposed by the district attorneys.
(*bb: i think suehan might be trying to say info/insider trading…?)
On the 30th of last month, the criminal division 5 of the Seoul Southern
District Court (Judge Kim Joo Won) stated that they arrested and
charged the former CEO Mr. Han (39) of Goje which is producer and
distributor of red ginseng for the violation of the capital market and
finance investment law.
The prosecution said that the private lender Mr. Min (36) who received
the stock price manipulation request from Mr. Han, financier, and an
operation member were arrested for the same charges. They also stated
that two brokers were charged without detention and one broker was
issued an arrest warrant after the stay of prosecution.
According to the prosecution, they made a trademark license contract and
an exclusive sales contract with Gorilla last November, in which Bae
Yong Joon is a major shareholder. They were charged for false public
announcement of an improbable supply contract without agreeing with
Gorilla.

Seoul’s celebrity-owned restaurants:
Eateries owned by Hallyu stars give fans a chance to directly fork over their cash to their favorite celebsKorea is rapidly becoming known for two things, its food and
celebrities. So it’s no wonder that the combination of the two has
attracted attention.
If you’re all about the hallyu stars, but don’t want to sacrifice a
few meals while staking them out, check out some of the most popular
restaurants owned by Korean celebs.
Gorilla in the Kitchen: Bae Yong-joon
Gorilla in the Kitchen, one of the most-respected celeb-owned
restaurants, is all about healthy food and the well-being lifestyle.
You’ll find no butter or cream in the kitchen and minimal salt in
your food — a welcome change from the typically sodium-saturated Korean
plate.
The diet-conscious can go for the “human-sized” portions (larger
sizes are called “gorilla”), while the health-conscious can order combo
meals, which in turn will get you a free health consultation on your
sugar levels before and after meals. Although Gorilla in the Kitchen is
known as Yonsama’s restaurant, the interior is surprisingly devoid of
Bae Yong-joon paraphernalia.
It’s about the food here, not the famous owner.
