Seungri left the band in March this year after he got caught up in a scandal over "Burning Sun", a music and dance club in southern Seoul. He has been accused of arranging sex services for business favors in a bid to attract money from foreign investors.
Seungri has been the target of public criticism since a 28-year-old dance club customer claimed in January that he was brutally beaten by Burning Sun employees. An investigation exposed drug trafficking and a sex video scandal that forced the departure of celebrities. Jung Joon-young, a singer-songwriter, was arrested for posting illegally filmed sex video files.
