Jul 15, 2025

South Korea's financial regulator, the Financial Services Commission, on Tuesday raided TV broadcaster Seoul Broadcasting System (KRX:034120), investigating allegations of insider trading linked to its Netflix deal, Yonhap News reported the same day.

An SBS official allegedly purchased company shares using undisclosed information about its December 2024 content partnership with Netflix and sold them after the deal was announced, earning illicit profits worth hundreds of millions of won. SBS shares had surged to the daily upper limit for two straight sessions following the news, according to the report.

The FSC is also probing other SBS staff. The TV broadcaster confirmed the dismissal of the implicated official and pledged full compliance with authorities, it said.
