Seungri Hosts Crowded Fanmeet And Promises Fans To Bring G-Dragon

Seungri is hosting fan meetings again.

In 2018, former BIGBANG member Seungri started a new business venture for himself, a club called the Burning Sun, at the Le Meridien Hotel in Gangnam, Seoul, South Korea. Initially, people were excited, and it was highly publicized as it was marketed as one of the best, most high-end bars in Asia with a VVIP menu, including high-priced items.

It was not long before the infamous Burning Sun scandal occurred. It’s not just the most famous K-Pop scandal in history but the most reprehensible sex crime scandal in the Korean industry. The Seungri-owned club was exposed as the location for soliciting underage prostitution, drugging and exploiting women, and even facilitating sadistic sexual violence and illegal “snuff” filming. This was discovered after a man, Kim Sang Kyo, was reportedly assaulted at Burning Sun when he stepped in to help a woman who was being sexually harassed.

On November 24 at Burning Sun, a woman who was being sexually harassed grabbed my shoulder and hid behind me. I asked a security guard for help, but I ended up getting beat up by the security guards and people who seemed like their friends.

Consequently, Seungri was charged with nine different offenses for his involvement with the Burning Sun scandal and sentenced to 3 years in prison. However, it was later reduced to 18 months.

Now, Seungri is back hosting events again.

A clip from the event has garnered attention online. Seungri appeared to flip off the crowd while yelling, “F*ck you all.” Fans claimed the context is that Seungri was “defending the country from its bad reputation.” In another clip, he said, “Cambodia.. this is the greatest country in Asia“
