 South Korean police seek arrest warrant for Hybe chairman Bang Si-Hyuk over alleged $100 million investor fraud scheme    South Korean police are seeking an arrest warrant for Bang Si-Hyuk, the billionaire music executive behind K-pop powerhouse Hybe and BTS, as part of an expanding investigation into allegations that he improperly benefited from an investor scheme involving more than $100 million. Authorities said they have asked prosecutors to pursue a court warrant for Bang’s arrest as they continue probing claims that he misled investors in 2019. Investigators allege he told investors that Hybe had no plans for an initial public offering, leading them to sell shares to a private equity fund. The company later went public, and police suspect a separate arrangement may have resulted in Bang receiving a substantial payout tied to post-IPO stock profits.

 Russia opposes EU forces in Ukraine and fast-tracked Zelenskyy talks

Russia on Wednesday rejected the deployment of European peacekeeping forces in Ukraine and downplayed the likelihood of a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, casting further doubt on prospects for a peace deal. U.S. President Donald Trump has recently met with both Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin in an effort to end the war, which has now stretched beyond three and a half years. However, Moscow has shown little willingness to compromise.

Ukraine continues to seek Western-backed security guarantees as part of any settlement to prevent future Russian attacks, while Russia insists that Kyiv cede additional territory in the east. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov described the idea of European peacekeepers as “negative,” framing NATO’s military presence in Ukraine as a “root cause” of Russia’s 2022 offensive. Peskov said security guarantees are a key topic in negotiations but refused to publicly discuss specifics. Meanwhile, Zelenskyy accused Russia of not being serious about peace, noting continued strikes on Ukrainian cities and villages. Talks between Kyiv and Western allies are ongoing, but the Kremlin further pushed back against scheduling a high-level summit with Zelenskyy, stating any meeting would need careful preparation.

Fighting continues on the ground. Russia struck multiple energy and gas facilities across six regions on Wednesday, killing three people and leaving more than 100,000 households without power, according to Ukrainian authorities. In Kherson, a farm was damaged in heavy shelling, killing two workers, and an 81-year-old woman died during an overnight attack. Moscow, which occupies roughly one-fifth of Ukraine, claimed to have captured another settlement in the Donetsk region, near the heavily contested city of Pokrovsk, as its campaign against Kyiv’s smaller army grinds on.
