• Investigators have questioned multiple staff members and named YG executives Yang Min-suk and YG Plus CEO Choi Sung-jun alongside G-Dragon and founder Yang Hyun-suk in the allegations.
• YG Entertainment denies any infringement, asserting that two distinct songs shared the same title during G-Dragon’s 2009 concert and no unauthorized use occurred.
• Authorities say the probe remains active but have declined to provide further specifics as they continue reviewing evidence.
