Seungri, a member of the massively popular boy band BIGBANG (consider them BTS well before BTS existed), was arrested for allegedly supplying investors with “drugs and drug-addled women,” as Variety reported, to have sex with for money, at the Seoul nightclub where he worked as a public relations director. He denied the allegations but immediately retired from the industry. In June, Yang Hyun-suk, founder YG Entertainment—a prominent management company in South Korea, which represents Seungri/BIGBANG—also resigned from his CEO position following allegations that he used police connections to cover up his performers’ drug scandals.
that Seungri may face trial in military court. In South Korea, able-bodied men are made to serve a mandatory two years, but they are allowed to delay it five times under certain circumstances before they turn 31. Now 29 years old, Seungri postponed his conscription until March 2019, when the Burning Sun news broke.
According to, South Korean news agency Yonhap reported that, “it’s unlikely that the draft agency will accept another request by him to postpone his conscription over future trials in civilian courts.” It is not currently known if Seungri has been officially drafted, but the expectation is that he will join the military later this month or early next., where the group is expected to make a comeback after a lengthy hiatus.
