Former head of the production company behind the Disney+ drama 'Casino,' Ahn Chang-hyun, has been missing for four months, according to a report by the Chosun Ilbo on October 29.
Ahn was recently accused of embezzlement, prompting police to investigate the possibility that he intentionally went into hiding.
Ahn's disappearance reportedly began in early July. After he failed to return home for an extended period, his family filed a missing person report. The Ilsan Western Police Station in Gyeonggi Province has been tracking Ahn's movements through closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage and the last known location of his mobile phone.
The investigation took a new turn when Ahn was accused of embezzlement at the end of July. Company B, which had appointed Ahn as an executive director, claimed that he embezzled 1.5 billion won (approximately $1.1 million), which represents 1.14% of the company's equity.
Ahn Chang-hyun, a former television producer, was the head of Acme Media (now known as Scene & Studio), which produced the Disney+ original series 'Casino.'
The drama, released in 2023, is a crime thriller that follows the story of a casino operator being pursued by the Philippine Korean Desk (police).
