South Korean prosecutors said that a former chief of the National Investigation Headquarters ordered that Jang Yun-gi's rape case be kept quiet and separated from a stalking case. [^1]

According to the initial ruling against Kang, Genencell obtained approval after submitting materials to the ministry that included false results and omitted adverse effects, and the clinical trial subsequently failed to proceed properly. [^2]

On 2021-10-12, Kim Seung-won, then a lawmaker and now Justice Minister nominee, sent a text message to then-South Korean Food and Drug Safety Minister Kim Gang-lip at the request of an acquaintance surnamed Yang, asking for an expedited review of a clinical trial application submitted by biotech company Genencell for a prospective Covid-19 treatment. [^3]

South Korean prosecutors indicted Yang and Kang on charges including promising a bribe, and in December 2024 they suspended Kim Seung-won's indictment, a disposition that means prosecutors recognize grounds for criminal suspicion but decline to bring charges after considering circumstances. [^4]
