Park Myung-soo is drawing attention for selecting the song ‘Beautiful Restraint’ by Kim Jong-seo as the closing song on his radio show.

On the broadcast aired on the 21st on KBS CoolFM ‘Park Myung-soo Radio Show’, host Park Myung-soo chose the song ‘Beautiful Restraint’ by Kim Jong-seo as the ending track.

The broadcast ran for about one hour starting at 11 a.m., and just before the radio program began, breaking news came in about a warrant application for the arrest of Hybe Chairman Bang Si-hyuk, making the selection a talking point among some internet users.

On the actual playlist, following Rainbow ‘Tell Me Tell Me’, MSG Wannabe ‘Sangsang Deohagi’, Teen Top ‘To You’, and Soyou·Junggigo ‘Some’, the final track listed was ‘Beautiful Restraint’ by Kim Jong-seo.

Some internet users reacted with comments such as “The timing lines up oddly” “It is a coincidence, but it is funny” “Myung-soo-ong gam-da-sal”. However, no connection between that song choice and the news of the warrant application for Chairman Bang has been confirmed.

Meanwhile, on the morning of the 21st, the Financial Crime Investigation Unit of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency said it had applied for an arrest warrant for Chairman Bang on suspicion of fraudulent unfair trading. He is suspected of telling Hybe investors in 2019 that there were no plans for a listing, then having a stake sold to a specific private equity fund and later profiting during the listing process. Police believe he obtained unjust gains of about $150,000,000 (200,000,000,000 KRW) through the related contracts.
