YG's Chief Producer, Yang Hyun-suk (OSEN)

YG Entertainment CEO Yang Min-suk and chief producer Yang Hyun-suk filed a lawsuit against a tabloid reporter seeking 200 million won in damages, the court said Tuesday.

The Yang brothers claimed the reporter, whose name remains unknown, has penned a number of defamatory articles against them based on false information regarding illegal narcotics.

Each sued the reporter for 100 million won in damages.

The reporter countered that his article prompted the prosecution to conduct an investigation into YG Entertainment.
