Former BIGBANG's Seungri has been released from prison after serving time for the Burning Sun case. Now, the former idol is reportedly back to living life as usual. Dispatch some time ago released a number of articles that revealed Seungri's whereabouts. He is said to have spent time with one of the popular influencers in South Korea, Yoo Hye Won.
According to eyewitnesses, the two were seen together at a luxury hotel in Thailand on March 5, 2023. The eyewitness even saw them holding hands. "The two of them naturally showed 'skinship' like a pair of lovers. They seemed worried about the presence of Korean people there," said an eyewitness to Dispatch.
Previously, it was reported that Seungri and Yoo Hye Won were having an affair in 2018 and 2020. At that time, YG Entertainment did not confirm or deny the rumors circulating. Not only that, SPOTV said that Seungri started contacting his friends in the entertainment world. He invites them to go to a nightclub together.
"One day Seungri contacted me, asking how I was. His voice sounded more relaxed, but also as cheerful as before," said a source with the initials A. "Seungri contacted his friends, including celebrities, and asked them to go clubbing," added source B. The ex-BIGBANG Seungri case started with a beating incident in January 2019 at the Burning Sun nightclub.
Seungri is the executive director of the nightclub, so his name is dragged along. Shortly after, a photo of Seungri circulated with a woman from China and was suspected of taking drugs. The problem got worse when the investigation found conversations between Seungri and his employees looking for prostitution for foreign clients.
The investigation into the chat group also brought up the names of a number of idols such as Jung Joon Young to Choi Jong Hoon who are known to often send illegal sex videos in the group. This made Seungri, including other artists, decide to leave the world of entertainment. The South Korean Supreme Court sentenced Seungri to 1 year and 6 months in prison for a number of crimes.
These include illegal prostitution, illegal gambling abroad, distribution of illegal sexual content, and embezzlement. Seungri was found guilty on all charges and sentenced to 3 years in prison. But after appeal, the sentence was reduced to 1.5 years. After serving his sentence, Seungri was released from prison on February 11, 2023.
