[Edaily Reporter Gim Ga Yeong ] It has been reported that Mr. A, the former CEO of Ark Media (now Scene & Studio), which produced the Disney+ drama “Casino,” has been missing for about four months and is currently being sought by police.

On the 29th, the Chosun Ilbo reported that Mr. A’s family filed a missing person report with the police after he failed to return home for an extended period. Upon receiving the report, the Ilsan Seobu Police Station in Gyeonggi Province began searching for Mr. A by tracking his movements—as confirmed through CCTV footage—and the location where his cell phone was last turned off.
However, it is reported that after Mr. A was charged in late July with embezzling approximately 1.5 billion won, the police are no longer able to provide his family with information regarding the search for Mr. A, who is now a criminal suspect.
While serving as CEO of Ark Media, Mr. A produced shows such as “Casino” and “Yeonmo.” He was subsequently recruited last year as an inside director at Unichem, which was pursuing entry into the entertainment business; Unichem filed a criminal complaint against Mr. A after confirming evidence of embezzlement. The amount in question, identified during the company’s internal audit, is 1.5 billion won, equivalent to 1.14% of its equity.
According to media reports, police are investigating while keeping open the possibility that Mr. A either fled to evade the investigation or was the victim of an unexpected accident.
Mr. B, a close associate of Mr. A, also told Edaily, “I have been unable to contact Mr. A since July.”
