  1. Fox News — Senior South Korean prosecutor arrested for alleged corruption
Editorial note — This article is written in a satirical tone, but the facts rest on the public sources listed above. An arrest, an indictment, a search, an investigation or a fine does not amount to a final conviction. The presumption of innocence applies to proceedings not finally judged.

❓ FAQ

What is Jin accused of?

Buying unlisted Nexon shares with funds lent by the company itself, then selling them back at a far higher price for about $11m — presented as an improper benefit dressed up as a financial deal.

Why is it exceptional?

He is said to be the most senior prosecutor ever arrested in the country. Seeing the controller become the accused strikes the public and questions the prosecution's independence.

Has anyone been finally convicted?

Unless stated otherwise, no. The article reports public information from the cited sources. Investigations, charges or proceedings do not amount to guilt. The presumption of innocence applies.

Is this real news or a parody?

It is factual satire: the facts are sourced, the tone is satirical. Nothing is invented, but the framing is ironic.
