- Seo-joon is said to have “anxiety” and “panic disorder” in the letter.
- The former head of Bithumb had announced his retirement from the company.
After being called as a witness by the Korean National Assembly’s Political Affairs Committee on Monday, Kim Seo-joon, CEO of venture capital company Hashed and an early investor in Terra, did not show up.
Among the six witnesses called to help piece together what led to Terra’s $40 billion collapse back in May, Seo-joon was one of the most prominent.
A statement he released said, “After the Luna-Terra incident, I was under extreme stress, and my health deteriorated and I needed to stabilize.” In addition, Seo-joon is said to have “anxiety” and “panic disorder” in the letter.
Many Suffer Panic Disorder and Anxiety
A medical certificate he supplied confirmed he has been getting psychiatric care since July 29. He said he “is in absolute need of emotional stability at this time” due to the stress brought on by the medication and therapy.
Key officials such Kim Seo-joon, Shin Hyun-sung (Director, Chai Holdco), Lee Jung-hoon (Former Chairman, Bithumb Korea), Kang Jong-hyun (Major Shareholder, Bithumb), and Lee Seok-woo (CEO, Dunamu) were chosen by the Political Affairs Committee on March 14.
After failing to show up to the National Assembly meeting on 6 June, Lee Jung-hoon provided an explanation for his absence. Having suffered from panic disorder, the former head of Bithumb has announced his retirement from the company. Since USDT’s demise, pressure has been mounting on Terraform Labs.
Do Kwon, the company’s co-founder, was the subject of an arrest warrant issued by a South Korean court in September for allegedly breaking capital market laws (while the Ministry of Finance revoked his passport), however, Kwon swiftly reassured his fans that he was not hiding away.
