双语文本

K-pop mogul Bang Si-hyuk, the man who created supergroup BTS, could be arrested on charges of fraudulent trading before his $7.3bn company went public.

韩国流行音乐大亨房时爀，也就是打造了超级组合防弹少年团（BTS）的人，可能会在其价值73亿美元的公司上市前，因欺诈交易指控而被捕。

South Korean police have asked prosecutors to request a court warrant over accusations that he misled investors in 2019, by claiming a public listing for his conglomerate Hybe was not likely, while secretly preparing for it.

韩国警方已要求检方申请法院逮捕令，指控他在2019年误导投资者，他当时声称其旗下企业集团HYBE不太可能上市，却在暗中筹备。

The case against Bang is long-running and has seen raids at Hybe's headquarters, some of his assets frozen and calls for him to step down as company chairman. He has maintained that his actions were above board. He has been banned from travelling abroad since August while the investigation is carried out.

针对房时爀的指控由来已久，此前HYBE总部曾遭到突击搜查，他的部分资产被冻结，还有人呼吁他辞去公司董事长一职。他坚称自己的行为光明磊落。自8月开始调查以来，他一直被禁止出国。

The request for a warrant comes weeks after BTS - Hybe's crown jewel and the reason for its immense success - kicked off a comeback world tour following a hiatus of nearly four years. The company's shares hit a four-year high when BTS announced their world tour in January, adding over 1 trillion won to its market value.

在BTS——HYBE公司的王牌，也是其巨大成功的原因——在休团近四年后开启回归世界巡演数周后，有人申请了搜查令。今年1月BTS宣布世界巡演时，该公司股价创下四年新高，市值增加了超1万亿韩元。
