• Is Seungri Back in Business? Former BIGBANG Star Spotted Drinking in Gangnam

    Former BIGBANG member Seungri has been spotted multiple times around South Korea, particularly in the busy district of Gangnam, Seoul.

    Sources say Seungri has been regularly visiting various restaurants and pubs, often keeping a low profile and spending time with friends. He’s usually seen casually dressed, quietly enjoying drinks in the corners of these establishments.

    An anonymous source shared, "Seungri visits pubs around twice a week. He drinks quietly before leaving, keeping things low-key."

    After being banned from the entertainment industry following the Burning Sun scandal, Seungri had been rumored to be living in Southeast Asia, including Cambodia. He was even seen in a Cambodian club making bold statements like, "I’ll bring G-Dragon."

    Recently, Seungri has been spotted meeting with overseas investors in Southeast Asia. Looking different with a suit, glasses, and a bit of weight gain, he appeared to be focused on business. Among the people he was seen with was Jacob Arabo, the founder of a luxury Swiss watch brand, J.

    Seungri became a controversial figure in 2019 after the Burning Sun scandal, which led to his departure from BIGBANG.

    At the time, he was serving in the military and was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months by a military court. Later, he was transferred to a civilian prison, the Yeoju Correctional Institution, before being released in February of last year.

    Seungri faced numerous charges, including habitual gambling, prostitution, violations of several laws, embezzlement, and instigation of assault. Fans have been curious to see what he's been up to since his release.
