Seungri (Lee Seung-hyun, 34) from Big Bang, who was imprisoned for the so-called 「Burning Sun incident」, is still on the rise even after his release from prison. Recently, he mentioned Big Bang's G-Dragon, and he drew attention with his recent performance of the hit song 'Bang Bang Bang', and there was even a rumor that he would attend the 'Burning Sun' event at a club in Indonesia.

All-K-Pop, a U.S. Korean Wave media outlet, reported on the 9th (local time) that Seungri will attend an event called 『Burning Sun Surabaya" as a guest in Indonesia on the 31st.

Seungri was criticized by the public for causing a stir over the club scandal of the same name. This is because cases such as gambling, prostitution arrangements, and embezzlement surrounding victory, triggered by the so-called club 'Burning Sun incident' in 2018, were known to the public. At that time, Seungri withdrew from the team due to this incident and left the entertainment industry as well as his agency YG Entertainment.

However, it is reported that attending the Indonesia 'Burning Sun' event is not true. In an interview with Daily Sports on the 11th, Seungri said, "'Participation in club events is not true.'" He has no plans at all."Some strongly denied that they attended the Indonesia 'Burning Sun' event.

It also announced legal action against the report. Seungri informed the media of hard-line countermeasures such as infringement of portrait rights and defamation due to the publication of false facts through a local law firm.

At the same time, he recently mentioned several stories about himself. As for rumors that Seungri is about to open a club in Hong Kong and is preparing for a new business "I've never thought about it on that side, I've never planned to do it."It's not all true because it's a business. I'm so embarrassed that it's not true. It's plain nonsense."

He also stressed that attending the birthday party of the Malaysian conglomerate, which made headlines by singing Big Bang 'Bang Bang', was "a family event of a friend of 10 years, so I've been attending it every year. All the videos that made headlines are personal schedules, and I'm not doing anything to go around the event at all'."

Regarding the recently released documentary 'Burning Sun' by the BBC, he also explained 'Jackets'. That her harsh words and actions were on the airwaves "The woman in the video is my friend of 10 years. It happened when I went to Busan with my acquaintances, and each man and woman who lost rock-paper-scissors decided to ride a peanut boat (water leisure), and the friend and I lost, but we said we wouldn't ride it, so we pulled it."

He expressed his position that he was unfair about various rumors. However, he acknowledged and reflected on saying at a private party held at a Cambodian club earlier this year that `I will bring G-Dragon here someday.' Seungri was drunk on the atmosphere and unintentionally mentioned the name of the former member, but he did not behave well. It was the wrong thing to do, and it will never happen again."

The reason for attending the private party at the time was that `just because an acquaintance opened a beer pub, I visited on a schedule' and"no one invited me to the event for money. I just said that I liked it because it looked really good when I went, and some reports that I invested in the local area were actually groundless.

Regarding the various rumors surrounding him, Seungri said, `Since the incident was famous at the time, I think they are using it abroad"It's my responsibility to be an issue, but I was frustrated because I thought it was too much"I thought it would be better to express my position on the facts at this point because stories that are not true come out so indiscriminately, and each country consumes and utilizes me at will."

Regarding the actual situation, "I spent a lot of time with my family, and I'm living normally. He said, "I've been going abroad a lot since I've been abroad, but I'm not preparing for business again."

As Seungri recognizes, netizens seem to analyze that various rumors about Seung-ri continue to emerge as the scandal was a scandal at the time. At the same time, he points out that the allegations he received, the suspicion of both legs, and the remarks of nuisance that were discussed after he was released from prison were self-inflicted.

Seungri has continued his trial in court since August 2021 on nine charges, including violation of the Special Act on Sex Trade, Prostitution and Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes, habitual gambling, violation of the Foreign Exchange Transaction Act, violation of the Food Sanitation Act, embezzlement in business, and special assault teacher, and a sentence of one and a half years in prison was confirmed in July 2022, and he was released from prison in February last year.
