Seungri, former member of BIGBANG, has recently stirred up controversy by using the group’s name at a birthday bash.

In January, Seungri made headlines when he expressed his intention to bring G-Dragon to a restaurant event in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, while dancing to “GOOD BOY” by GD X Taeyang.

Seungri, who debuted with BIGBANG in 2006, enjoyed immense popularity during their active years and later gained recognition for his ‘Seungtsby (Seungri and Gatsby)’ persona.

However, in 2019, he became embroiled in the Burning Sun scandal, facing charges ranging from soliciting prostitution to embezzlement.

After a protracted legal battle, the Supreme Court confirmed his sentence of 1 year and 6 months in May 2022.

He served his term in a civilian correctional facility and was released in February of the following year.

Despite announcing his retirement from the group in March 2019, stating he would leave the group to maintain the group’s legacy, Seungri continues to leverage the group’s fame for overseas events.

This ongoing involvement has prompted mixed reactions from netizens, with some questioning his choices and others expressing frustration at the continued association with BIGBANG’s legacy.

Netizens commented, “He’s so brazen,” “Wow… Just wow,” “Without the ‘Big Bang’ title, he would’ve been nothing. Lucky Seungri,” “I think Big Bang should sue him for defamation, lol,” “Seungri is so brazen,” “Why won’t he just live quietly?” “He’s going around like that so that he can start another business,” “He’s shameless,” and “If he’s going to go to these events, he should just sing his solo tracks, not BIGBANG’s.”
