According to corporate research instituteChaebul, while Yang Hyun Suk's stake in his company has reached 186 billion won (approx. $170.7 million USD) with a 13.6 percent increase in value, Lee Soo Man's stock value dropped by 22.1 percent to 149.3 billion won (approx. $135.5 million USD).



According to reports,YG Entertainment's recent boost most likely comes from their recent expansion into the fashion industry.
