On December 25, social media platforms and online communities began spreading a video showing Seungri at an exhibition abroad. In the footage, Seungri appears at a meeting, noticeably different from his previous slim appearance, with a rounder face and physique. The author wrote: “He said he makes more (money) than G-Dragon.“
In August, Seungri faced harsh criticism for being invited as a special guest at an event in Indonesia titled “Burning Sun Surabaya.” Amid backlash accusing him of showing no remorse, the event organizers, TSV Management, apologized via SNS on August 11 and abruptly canceled the event.
The organizers clarified: “We want to apologize for any misunderstanding caused. The poster we posted didn’t mention Seungri’s involvement. The title “Burning Sun Surabaya” was intended to promote safety in clubs and parties.“
Reports have also emerged of Seungri often being spotted on the beaches of Bali, Indonesia. Allegedly, he and his group suggested to Korean tourists: “Come and visit us at our home.”
Seungri, a central figure in the Burning Sun scandal, was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months in prison on charges including habitual gambling, violation of the Law on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes (use of camera for illegal filming ), violation of prostitution. Punitive law and embezzlement. He served his sentence and was released in February last year.
Since his release, there have been numerous reports of Seungri engaging in questionable behavior. The allegations include inviting acquaintances to clubs, hosting extravagant parties and being seen with individuals such as Chinese actors barred from activities due to drug-related convictions, further adding to the controversies surrounding him.
