Yang Hyun-suk and Seungri were both slapped with overseas travel bans amid allegations that they violated foreign exchange laws to secure money to gamble in Las Vegas.
Yang Hyun-suk, a former star of the company's popular boy band Big Bang, were both slapped with overseas travel bans amid allegations that they violated foreign exchange laws to secure money to gamble in Las Vegas, Seoul police officials said.
The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency is analyzing data from Casino association from the State of Nevada on how many times Yang has gambled, his betting amount and other relevant data. South Korea’s cable network JTBC reported that Yang and Seungri regularly gambled in Las Vegas hotel casinos by taking their K-pop entourage from Korea and dividing the currency limit for international travel of $12,000 per person among 10 people to secure $120,000 in cash for gambling purposes.
Both Yang and Seungri had already been brought low by the K-pop world's recent sprawling series of scandals involving prostitution, sex crimes, drug use and bribery. Yang, an idol-turned-K-pop chief, resigned from his position as CEO at YG Entertainment after some of his big-name artists were caught up in the scandals.
