Seungri, a former member of the K-pop group Big Bang, has caused a stir by appearing at a nightclub in Hangzhou, China, surrounded by 10 bodyguards.

In 2018, Seungri was kicked out of the South Korean entertainment industry due to his involvement in the 'Burning Sun' scandal. He was found guilty of crimes related to prostitution and serving an 18-month jail term.

Seungri's recent visit to an upscale club in Hangzhou has quickly spread on Chinese social platforms, triggering discomfort and anger among many. Concerns were raised about how he could freely party in China when he is unwelcome in Korea. Additionally, the club's expensive minimum spending requirement of 8,000 yuan (approximately $1107) has added to the controversy.

Chinese media have condemned Seungri's behavior as a violation of moral standards in China. They have also questioned the support he receives from some Chinese fans despite his criminal history, leading to discussions about values and ethics in Chinese society.

Numerous complaints about Seungri's actions have inundated the Chinese citizen service hotline, 12345. Officials in Hangzhou have stated that they need to verify if Seungri's appearance was properly authorized by the Ministry of Culture. Regulations mandate that all cultural events must be registered with the ministry, and the investigation's findings will be disclosed after the ministry's evaluation.

Seungri's recent conduct has not only faced criticism in China but has also sparked outrage across Asia. After his release from prison, Seungri has been seen partying in clubs in Cambodia and Malaysia, further angering the public.
