Culture Committee member Bae Hyun-jin urged J.Y. Park, founder of JYP Entertainment, to testify at an upcoming parliamentary audit of South Korean government bodies. The call came amid speculation that the Culture Ministry offered JYP Entertainment exclusive international trademark rights for 'Fanomenon,' a state-led project valued at 15 billion won. Bae Hyun-jin claimed that JYP Entertainment's previous transfer of domestic trademark rights to the government was unclear and suggested Park sought personal gains through preferential treatment.
