Court Trial Begins for Ahn Sung-hyun, Accused of Receiving Bribes for Coin Listing

Song Yuri's husband, Ahn Sung-hyun, is set to face trial today at the Seoul Southern District Court for fraud and embezzlement. According to Sports Today, the charges stem from allegations that Ahn received tens of billions of won from a company in exchange for listing their cryptocurrency on the Bithumb exchange. Ahn is a professional golfer and businessman who has been married to actress Song Yu-ri since 2017. The couple has one child together. The trial is expected to begin at 10:00 AM KST and could last for several weeks. Ahn has denied the charges and is expected to plead not guilty. If convicted, Ahn could face up to 10 years in prison.
