Burning Sun was a nightclub in the Gangnam district in Seoul, South Korea. Owned by Seungri, the establishment was exposed as a spot full of illegal wrongdoings, including illegal filming, drug abuse, sexually violent acts, and more, a few years ago.
Recently, BBC‘s documentary on the “Burning Sun” led to renewed interest in Seungri’s involvement with the scandal.
Following the documentary’s release, a netizen’s post of Seungri’s recent whereabouts sparked allegations and reports that the former BIGBANG member seems to be looking to establish a new nightclub, despite what happened with the Burning Sun.
This dude just won’t go away. My friend saw him at Creamfields Hong Kong [a music festival held in April] recently. I also heard from a friend who works at a nightclub that he’s permanently living in Hong Kong now and will do business here, around the Tsim Sha Tsui, East Tsim Sha Tsui area.
Can you not come to Hong Kong to make money? If you run into him in Hong Kong, please help me ask him, ‘When are you going to die???’
– Netizen
The netizen also posted a screenshot of her chat with a friend regarding Seungri.
Yeah, he kept socializing with bosses of alcohol distributors and clubs. It seemed business-related. There were so many women with plastic surgery and gold diggers talking to him.

Local media picked up on the tip, with several outlets reporting that Seungri is likely looking at establishing a nightclub, especially given the choice of the business location and his alleged interactions. Netizens are not pleased with the news.
- “Permanently living in Hong Kong 🤡🤡 I hope girls won’t throw themselves at him.”
- “He probably has dirt on a lot of wealthy men.”
- “He probably still has a date rape drug business. So crazy. He has no shame or guilt. He’s still going around and even said he’d take G-Dragon to parties. He’s even singing. F*cking crazy, why was he released from prison so soon.”
- “Is he planning on continuing to sell date rape drugs in Hong Kong?”
- “So disgusting. When is he going back to prison for life?”
