On December 26, reports suggested that Seungri has been leading a relatively quiet life post-incarceration, with multiple sightings of him in Hong Kong. Local netizens said he may have settled in the city. Videos circulating online show Seungri socializing with women allegedly from mainland China in Hong Kong’s Central District, where he wore a tailored suit and black-rimmed glasses. Observers noted that it appeared noticeably heavier than before.
In the footage, Seungri is seen conversing with a woman, shaking her hand, while two others linger nearby. In another clip, Seungri is shown climbing a ladder with the same three women following closely behind him. At one point, one of the women trips and falls, prompting Seungri to turn and briefly reveal his face to the observer filming the scene.
This sighting sparked renewed discussion about Seungri’s public activities since his release from prison in February 2023. The K-pop star was convicted of organizing sex trafficking, illicit gambling and other charges related to the infamous Burning Sun scandal which shook the Korean entertainment industry. .
In addition to his public outings, Seungri reportedly met with investors to launch new business ventures. The rumored investor includes Jacob Arabo, the founder of luxury jewelry brand Jacob & Co. This has led some online commentators to claim that Seungri earns more than his former bandmate, G-Dragon, a claim that has sparked a heated debate between fans and critics.
Earlier this year, Seungri also made headlines for attempting to bring women into his hotel room while on vacation in Bali. There have also been rumors that he plans to open another club, a move that will no doubt reignite attention given his controversial past.
