Seungri's Recent Video Sparks Confusion as It Turns Out to Be Six Years Old
Seungri, the former member of BIGBANG, has once again drawn public scrutiny following reports of his recent activities abroad, particularly after a video surfaced suggesting he was in South Korea. However, it was later revealed that the footage was actually from six years ago.
Seungri was implicated in the 'Burning Sun scandal' that erupted in 2018, leading to significant social controversy. He was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months in prison for charges including soliciting prostitution, violating foreign exchange laws, embezzlement, and engaging in overseas gambling amounting to 2 billion won.
After his release in February 2023, Seungri's whereabouts have been a topic of interest, with multiple sightings reported, including one at a club in Bali, Indonesia. He also faced backlash for a video from an event in Cambodia where he mentioned bringing G-Dragon to the location.
On February 10, 2025, various online communities shared what was thought to be a recent video of Seungri in South Korea, where he was seen dancing with three Chinese women on the street. This led to speculation about his presence in Korea, with some jokingly asking if he had come to retrieve G-Dragon. However, many expressed a lack of interest in his current activities due to the controversies surrounding his past.
It was later clarified that the video was not recent but rather a clip from 2019, filmed by a Chinese influencer, which had resurfaced and caused confusion about Seungri's current status.
Currently, Seungri has shifted his focus from a potential return to the entertainment industry to pursuing business ventures. In a recent interview on the BBC YouTube channel 'BBC News Korea,' he indicated that he has nearly given up on a music comeback and is instead looking to expand his business using his past fame.
