Police raid Korea Exchange in connection with alleged irregularity of BTS agency chairman
Investigators at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency raided the offices of the KRX in Yeouido, western Seoul, on Monday to search and secure evidence related to the K-pop agency's stock market debut in 2020, the sources said.
The raid was carried out in connection with an investigation over allegations that Hybe Chairman Bang Si-hyuk had intentionally misled investors ahead of the company's stock market debut in 2020.
The Hybe founder has been under investigation over suspicion that he had sought to list the agency while misleading investors that there were no plans for its public offering.
The Financial Supervisory Service, which is also investigating the case, summoned Bang late last month to question him on alleged irregularities in Hybe's stock market debut. (Yonhap)

Police raid Korea Exchange in connection with alleged irregularity of BTS agency chairman
Police have raided the Korea Exchange, South Korea's stock market operator, as part of an investigation into allegations of irregularity involving the chairman of Hybe, the K-pop agency behind boy band BTS, according to sources Thursday.

Korea relaunches Nexon holding firm stake sale
Tencent resurfaces as potential buyer given its Korean entertainment investments South Korea is moving to offload its 4.7 trillion won ($3.46 billion) stake in NXC Corp., the holding company of game developer Nexon. The Ministry of Economy and Finance opened the sale process earlier this week, putting its shares in NXC up for public bidding, according to industry sources Thursday. NXC is the largest shareholder of Tokyo-listed Nexon Japan and the sole owner of its Korean subsidiary, Nexon Korea. The ministry acquired a roughly 30 percent stake — about 852,000 shares in total — in February 2023 from the family of late Nexon founder Kim Jung-ju as payment for inheritance tax. This marks the government's third attempt to sell the stake, following two failed efforts due to a lack of interested buyers. The asking price includes a 20 percent management control premium, yet any purchaser would still face limited sway over the company, as the founder's family retains a 68 percent majority. The government's earlier insistence on a full block sale also deterred bidders. While it continues to favor a bulk sale, officials say they may consider splitting the stake depending on market conditions. Preliminary bids will be accepted through Aug. 25, according to reports. Industry speculation suggests Chinese tech giant Tencent may be eyeing the stake. Tencent has repeatedly emerged as a potential buyer of Nexon since 2019, when Kim first put Nexon up for sale, though it has never formally joined the bidding process. The company also denied reports in June that it was considering acquiring a stake. Talk of Tencent's interest is driven by its continued expansion into Korea's tech and entertainment sectors. The company is the second-largest shareholder in Kospi-listed game developers Shiftup and Netmarble, with stakes of approximately 34.8 percent and 17.5 percent, respectively. Tencent also holds a 14 percent stake in Krafton and 4 percent in Kakao Games. Its influence extends beyond gaming, with its music subsidiary, Tencent Music, owning 9.7 percent of K-pop powerhouse SM Entertainment. Meanwhile, both the ministry and Tencent declined to confirm whether the company is participating in the preliminary bidding.

KT unveils upgraded Korean LLM, eyes sovereign AI lead
Korean telecommunications giant KT Corp. on Thursday unveiled its upgraded large language model, Mi:dm 2.0, optimized for the Korean language, expressing its commitment to expanding the open-source artificial intelligence ecosystem and participating in the government's sovereign AI initiative. 'KT seeks to embed four key principles across all domains of AI: data sovereignty, user choice, Korean values and responsible operations,' said Shin Dong-hoon, chief AI officer at KT, during an online press briefing. 'Mi:dm 2.0 is the first model developed under our sovereign AI philosophy.' The telecom company is positioning itself as a strong contender in the government's foundational AI model development project, which is recruiting domestic AI consortia until July 21. If selected, participants can label their model as a "K-AI model," and their company as a "K-AI enterprise." "Because our AI philosophy aligns with the government's direction, we are preparing to participate in the sovereign AI foundation model project," Shin said. 'Over the past year, in collaboration with data alliance, we have built a model that embodies Korean values and culture — a major advantage in establishing a uniquely Korean AI." The Mi:dm 2.0 lineup comprises two models: the Mi:dm 2.0 base, featuring 11.5 billion parameters, and the lighter Mi:dm 2.0 mini, which has 2.3 billion parameters. Both support Korean and English, reflecting KT's ambition to lead with 'Korean AI' — a concept that refers to AI developed from Korea's ethos, knowledge and way of life. As part of its two-track strategy, KT is also enhancing Mi:dm 2.0 while co-developing a Korean-specialized version of GPT-4 in partnership with US IT giant Microsoft. 'We have never believed in giving up on our technology,' said the CAIO. 'Where we lack capabilities, we intend to collaborate with Microsoft to tune ChatGPT in a way that deeply understands Korean culture and values.' The telecom giant first commercialized its large-scale AI model in 2022 and has since integrated it into services like its AI contact center. The company said the upgraded LLM outperforms leading domestic and global models in understanding and generating Korean-language content, especially in culturally nuanced or professional domains. 'Our goal is to infuse the Korean spirit into every layer of our AI model lineup,' said Oh Seung-phil, chief technology officer. 'That is our mission and our philosophy.'
