Seungri (35, real name Lee Seung-hyun) of the group BIGBANG has been sued on charges of special assault. This comes about three years after his release from prison.

According to NEWS1 on the 10th, the Seoul Gangnam Police Station received a complaint requesting punishment for Seungri on charges of special assault on the 26th of last month and has begun an investigation.

Seungri is accused of assaulting a man in his 30s at a restaurant located in Seoul Gangnam-gu while dining together. The police are investigating the detailed circumstances of the incident.

Seungri was identified as a key figure in the so-called 'Burning Sun Gate' that erupted in 2018 and was effectively expelled from the entertainment industry.

Seungri was brought to trial on nine charges, including procuring prostitution, prostitution, violation of the Special Act on Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes, habitual gambling, violation of the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act, violation of the Food Sanitation Act, embezzlement in the course of duty, and violation of the Act on Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes, as well as charges of instigating special assault. He was ultimately sentenced to one year and six months in prison and served his sentence.

At the time, Seungri, who was tried while serving in the military, was transferred to a private correctional facility after his prison sentence became final and was released on February 9, 2023. After his release, he was also spotted in Southeast Asia and other locations.
