Jan 06, 2025

Seungri from Big Bang has been revealed to still enjoy entertainment after being released from prison.

According to a media outlet on the 6th, Seungri frequently appears in restaurants and pubs in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. The media reported that Seungri wears comfortable clothes and enjoys drinking mainly in acquaintances, restaurants, and corners of pubs. The media quoted an anonymous reader as saying that Seungri comes to the pub about twice a week and only drinks quietly.

Recently, the online community revealed that Seungri visited an event venue overseas. Seungri, who looks much warmer than before, is dressed up in a suit and talking with people in a relaxed manner. Seungri reportedly visited the Vietnamese branch of Swiss high-end watch brand J and met founder and creative director Jacob Aravo. A netizen who released a picture of Seungri also drew attention by adding, `It makes more than G-Dragon.'

Seungri is a key figure in the so-called 「Burning Sun incident」 and violates the Act on the Punishment of Acts such as Prostitution Intermediation in 2019 and the Act on Special Cases concerning the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes (filming using cameras, etc.). He was charged with nine charges, including violating the Food Sanitation Act, embezzling money from Yuri Holdings, now and Burning Sun, habitual gambling, violation of the Foreign Exchange Transaction Act, and special assault teachers. Seungri, who joined the military in March the following year, was scheduled to be discharged from the military on September 16, 2021, but was sentenced to three years in prison in the first trial and was arrested in court and held in the Korean Armed Forces prison. In the second trial, he was sentenced to one and a half years in prison, and the Supreme Court later confirmed it. Seungri, who was imprisoned in the South Korean military prison, was later released from the Yeoju Prison, a private prison, in February 2023.

Since then, Seung-ri has been widely criticized for his unrepentant move, as he is known for his recent situation of traveling abroad and attending parties. The recent situation released on this day is also being criticized even more for being captured in a bar.
