In a recent report from a media outlet on April 2nd, it was mentioned that Seungri, a former member of Big Bang, had traveled to China in the previous month to explore potential business opportunities. Despite having no definite plans at the moment, Seungri is still keen on the entertainment industry, as stated by an insider in the entertainment field.

Although Seungri has severed connections with his former bandmates from Big Bang, it is reported that he is keeping good relationships with other acquaintances with whom he discusses business ventures. Recently, Seungri was seen at a nightclub in Hangzhou, China, which stirred some attention and criticism from Chinese internet users.

Seungri was at the center of the 'Burning Sun Scandal' in 2018, leading to significant public outrage. Following his conviction on various charges related to the scandal, such as involvement in arranging prostitution, breaching foreign exchange laws, embezzlement, and overseas gambling, Seungri was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months in prison.

Upon his release in February 2023, Seungri's activities abroad have been met with continuous controversy. Instead of exhibiting regret or introspection, he has been seen enjoying nightlife with celebrities in different countries, a behavior that has drawn disapproval.

Furthermore, Seungri has faced criticism for performing songs from Big Bang and mentioning his former group members to capitalize on their fame despite cutting ties with them. Recent sightings of Seungri socializing with women in South Korea have further intensified public scrutiny.
