Who are the people really behind KEPA?
Keep in mind that everything mentioned in this article is pure speculation. The netizen basically lists a bunch of facts and tries to connect the dots in a way relating to the case. Form your own opinions on the matter.

A netizen put up a post trying to dissect KEPA and the people behind them and found some interesting things worth mentioning.
The distributor for Infinity Challenge's digital songs is KT Music, which is a part of KMP Holdings (comprised of SM, YG, JYP, etc). KT Music is well known for being the competitor to Melon (held by Loen Entertainment).
-
KEPA has a number of notable figures on their staff list, including:
Vice Chairman: Kim Kwang Soo (CCM)
Finance Manager: Hong Seung Sung (Cube Ent.)
Director: Kim Tae Song (TS Ent.)
Director: Kim Byung Sun (JellyFish Ent.)
Director: Lee Jong Yub (Woollim Ent.)
Director: Kim Shi Dae (Starship Ent.)
The music distributor that these companies use are:
CCM = Melon (Loen)
Cube = Universal Music
TS = Melon (Loen)
JellyFish = CJ E&M
Woollim = Melon (Loen)
Starship = Melon (Loen)
-
Dates of interest for these companies (digital song releases) or in other words, why Infinity Challenge domination would matter to them:
< CCM >
SPEED (1/15)
<Woollim>
INFINITE (1/11 Unit)
<Starship>
Boyfriend (1/10)
SISTAR (February Unit)
<JellyFish>
VIXX (1/7)
<Cube>
4minute (1/17 Unit)
<TS>
B.A.P. (1/15)
-
Cube CEO Hong Seung Sung's 1/13 tweet is also being used as grounds for suspicion in relation to the case: "Is the music chart a joke, this is pathetic"
-
CNBLUE's CEO of FNC Entertainment also recently gave an interview regarding the Infinity Challenge case: "It's become a trend for variety programs to release digital songs as a type of event. While I respect the decision, I also see that it's extremely difficult for singers to land a slot on music programs to promote themselves so it's upsetting to think that a popular variety program can use its status to launch its song to the #1 position immediately."
