Former member of Big Bang Seungri (29): a suspect of the prοstıtutıon ring scandal.
Evidence that people around him had concerns that he was "forming dangerous connections," starting from a few years ago, has come out.
Korea Daily reports a quote from someone involved in the entertainment industry (who supports Korean celebrities when they have activities in Taiwan or Japan), "I heard from a famous Japanese tarento, 'I've met with Seungri before, but from now on I won't meet him again because it's dangerous.'" This means that Seungri could be seen meeting shady people even in Japan and overstepping the boundaries of the law.
Korea Daily reports, "Because K-pop's influence is huge, there are a lot of investments from overseas where the source is unknown," and as this is the case, "the financial stability of the investor or the investment company should be thoroughly checked, however, it can be assumed that in Seungri's case, this did not happen."
Seungri also put in exceptional effort in order to expand his personal connections, separately from the other members of Big Bang.
Another entertainment industry personnel, whom Seungri is friends with reported to Korea Daily, "When Seungri does an overseas performance, he will always participate in performance sponsors' closing parties," and "when I asked why, he would say that it's for increasing his personal connections for the future."
An analysis into why Seungri exerts such effort: Compared to the other Big Bang members, he wasn't known for his musical talent. Using business as a means, it seems that he had a strong desire to confirm his own potential.
In actuality, on a TV program in 2016, he revealed that he speaks 4 languages, and he clarified the reason why he is enthusiastic about studying other languages. Seungri stated, "because these members are outstanding, no matter what I do I'll never be able to beat them," and "to win against these people, I need a forte, I thought, that will be languages."
At that time, Seungri revealed that he had 3200 contacts on his phone, and also explained that he managed various business entities with a goal of creating a "space to expand dreams" rather than "for money making."

This type of person isn't a special case. I don't want to be associated with this nation.

People he's close to in Japan should to be investigated too huh?
There seem to be people who are scary behind the scenes.

There's so many "I'll reveal it now!" cropping up now.
If you're going to be like this, you should have said it at the time.

People who say they should've said it then
Isn't it because even if they said it, no one would believe them and they'll end up feeling bad instead?
Take Aum Shinrikyo* for example, when people were saying they were dangerous, people were all "freedom of religion!"
*Japanese doomsday cult that carried out the deadly Tokyo Subway sarin attack in 1995.

People have always said it.

I'm revealing it because it's now, I've always thought that face couldn't be trusted.

I think the people around him were saying, "This guy's bad news."
Kazuhiro* for example, a few years before he was arrested, he was saying that everyone had left him and he was lonely.
*Kazuhiro Kiyohara - Former Pro Baseball player who was arrested for doing dɾᴜgs

I'm sure that even among Japanese celebrities, there are scary people like this as well... I pray that a thorough investigation will be undertaken.

First of all, I'd like us to distance ourselves from his homeland..

I think it's dangerous to be involved in Korea in any way now.
[+361, -15]
It looks like Japanese TV is trying to give young people a good impression by always going, such and such has something to do with Korea.
I think many young people in Japan and Korea are influenced by that and get involved with crime.
Well, if those types of people increase, to the media this might be a good thing because there will be more news for them to report.

It seems like in Korea people who look normal on the outside are probably part of the underworld, so people going to Korea from Japan have to be careful...

It's obvious that politicians and the media are also involved.
He's going to need bodyguards from now on, before he gets liquefied (silenced).

Who are these shady people?
[+165, -5]
It's not just this person, we should distance ourselves from this whole country.

It's true that this person had the best Japanese ability in his group.
He put in effort in the wrong direction.
