In the press conference, Min’s side claimed that the accusation of tampering was a “conspiracy” to disrupt the stock market, orchestrated by a “specific businessman,” and the family of one NewJeans member.

Regarding Bang’s attendance, Park also claimed that he was invited to the event by the president of a media outlet. He claimed that Bang had family ties to that media professional and, hence, controlled all the media in the country.

Reports have claimed that Chairman Bang is related to the chairman of Chosun Ilbo, a well-reputed media outlet in South Korea.
This revelation has sparked heated reactions online, with netizens speculating how Bang could have influenced entertainment-related reporting all this time.
