According to the U.S. Korean Wave media All-K-Pop on the 11th (Korea time), Seungri will appear as a special guest at an event hosted by TSV Management, an event management company, on the 31st. The event will be held at the Gentlemen's Club in Surabaya, Indonesia, and a poster containing the face of victory has been produced and released to promote the event.
As soon as it became known that Seungri would show his face at the event, a cold reaction continued in Korea. Seungri was criticized for being known as the real owner of Burning Sun, a club in Gangnam, where various crimes such as assault, sex crimes and drugs were reportedly committed in 2019. Seungri has been loved since 2006 as a member of Big Bang, but he collapsed on his own after creating an image of 'Seungtsby'. In 2019, he was cited as a key figure in Burning Sun Gate and was handed over to trial on nine charges, including violation of the Special Act on Prostitution Intermediation, Prostitution, and Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes, habitual gambling, violation of the Food Sanitation Act, violation of the Foreign Exchange Transaction Act, embezzlement in business, and additional punishment for specific economic crimes, and charges of special assault teachers.
After the trial, Seungri was sentenced to one and a half years in prison in May 2022, and Seungri, who was a soldier after joining the army at the time, was transferred to a private prison and served his sentence before being released from prison in February last year.

In addition, Seungri was shown singing Big Bang's 'Bang Bang Bang' at a birthday party for one of the richest Malaysian people in May this year. Seungri sang 'BangBang' in a grey suit and a cap hat upside down. Netizens who filmed the video shouted "Big Bang" at the appearance of Seungri. Seungri also took unusual steps, such as taking pictures with those attending the birthday party and responding.
In this situation, the news of attending an event named 'Burning Sun' was enough to draw the ire of the domestic public. However, Seungri refuted the rumor of participating in a local event in an interview with Daily Sports on the 11th, saying, `I have no plans to do so. "I don't know where it is in Indonesia, and the club name is too much (Burning Sun), and it says I will go on August 31st, but I have no plan," he said strongly. "We will take a hardline action through a local law firm, such as infringement of portrait rights and defamation due to the publication of false information." He also denied the previously known Hong Kong club business theory and mentioned G-Dragon in Cambodia "I was drunk on the atmosphere and unintentionally mentioned the name of the former member, but I misbehaved."I expressed my apologies.
