B.I.'s Executive Director Role Speculations

This month, Kim Hanbin's name was seen on the general meeting resolution of IOK Company stakeholders. One of the bills notes Kim Hanbin as an executive director along with others under the critical substance of the statements.

It mentions Hanbin's birth month/year, tenure of three years, current appointment position as a "scheduled promotion" under specifics of the role of directors, and that his primary career as a "musician in 131 Label" (131 Label is Hanbin's established agency.)

The now-accomplished general session has been scheduled at 9 a.m. on September 25. This suggests that the board of directors/shareholders would make a recommendation on the selection of directors. One of the nominees is Kim Hanbin.

The IOK Company's website collapsed after this news and speculation. Fans of B.I. appear to have a strong interest in the business.

Meanwhile, the agency is headed by announcer Oh Sang Jin, who quit Y.G. Entertainment last year, musician Kim Na Young, and comedian Kim Sook of Video Star. (via Allkpop)
