Jho Low Denies Allegations of Involvement in K-Pop Sex Scandal

Low Taek Jho, widely known as Jho Low, has confirmed meeting K-pop mogul Yang Hyun-Suk, also known as YG, through his acquaintance with pop star Psy. However, Low has firmly denied a report that he was offered sexual services by Yang. This statement comes amidst an ongoing investigation into allegations surrounding Yang Hyun-Suk and YG Entertainment.
Meeting with Yang Hyun-Suk

A spokesperson for Jho Low, speaking through his US lawyers, stated that Low's connection to Yang Hyun-Suk was facilitated by his friendship with Psy. The spokesman emphasized that Low was neither involved in nor aware of any conduct of the nature reported by MBC Straight, a South Korean investigative program. The report specifically named Low as one of two Southeast Asian investors who allegedly met Yang in July 2014.
Allegations and Denials

The MBC Straight report alleged that Jho Low and a Thai businessman met Yang Hyun-Suk and other YG Entertainment executives at a high-end restaurant in July 2014. Following this meeting, the report claimed the group proceeded to a club reportedly owned by Yang, where sexual services were purportedly offered. Yang Hyun-Suk himself has denied any involvement in facilitating such services.
Past Connections and 1MDB Scandal

This alleged meeting in 2014 is not the only past connection between Jho Low and the YG Entertainment sphere. In 2013, Jynwel Capital Ltd, a company associated with Low, was reportedly involved in arranging for Psy, then an artist under YG Entertainment, to perform at a Chinese New Year event. Psy eventually left YG Entertainment in 2018. Jho Low remains a central figure in the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) scandal, facing money-laundering charges related to significant financial transfers.
