Amid spreading rumors that Seungri (36, real name Lee Seung-hyun), a key figure in the 'Burning Sun Gate' scandal and former member of the group BIGBANG, is the representative of a cosmetics brand that has entered South Korea's largest daily necessities store, the mentioned brand side has directly refuted the claims.

J&M Solution issued a formal statement on the 21st via its official Instagram account, saying, "We sincerely apologize for the concern and confusion caused to our customers as false information linking J&M Solution to the Victory and Burning Sun incidents has spread across some social media platforms and online communities."

They stated, "We have issued the following position statement to correct relevant factual matters and provide accurate information," adding that "although we received a business proposal from Victory in the past and established J&M Town Co., Ltd., the project was withdrawn before it began due to the Burning Sun scandal. The corporation completed its dissolution and liquidation in 2019 without any actual operations or revenue generation."

He further stated, "Seungri has never invested in or held shares in JM Solution from the past to the present. There is also no business or economic relationship involving the planning, manufacturing, distribution, or sales of JM Solution products. Therefore, claims such as 'JM Solution is Seungri's company,' 'Seungri is the owner of JM Solution,' and 'it is a cosmetics brand created with Burning Sun funds' are clearly false."

The company also brandished the sword of a stern legal response. The brand side stated, "We are taking seriously the repeated dissemination of content that is not factually accurate or the distortion that links past limited factual relationships to J&M Solution in the present. We are currently securing evidence regarding relevant posts through our legal team and external law firms, and we plan to take all necessary legal actions against the creation and dissemination of malicious false information."

He also stated, "Even if the business did not materialize, I deeply feel responsible for causing concern to our current partners and consumers with the decisions made at that time. Moving forward, we will respond responsibly to protect trust in our brand and products. Once again, we sincerely apologize to all customers who have supported J&M Solution."

Seungri debuted as a member of BIGBANG in 2006 but was identified as a central figure in the so-called "Burning Sun Gate" scandal in 2019, leading to his expulsion not only from the group but also from the entertainment industry. At that time, Seungri was brought to trial on nine charges, including prostitution, procuring prostitution, violation of the Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes, embezzlement, habitual gambling, violation of the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act, and violation of the Food Sanitation Act. He was subsequently sentenced to one year and six months in prison by the Supreme Court in 2022, served his sentence, and was released upon completion of his term in February 2023.

Sung-won recently drew attention again for an unpleasant issue involving allegations of assault.

Hello.

G-P Club / J&M Solution.

First, we sincerely thank all our customers who have always trusted and loved J&M Solution products.

Recently, false content linking JM Solution to Lee Seung-hyun (Seungri) and the Burning Sun incident has been spreading on some social media platforms and online communities, causing concern and confusion among our customers.

We sincerely apologize.

Accordingly, we have issued the following statement to correct the relevant factual circumstances and provide accurate information.

He accepted a business proposal from Seung-hyun (Seungri)'s side in the past and established J&M Town Co., Ltd., but when the Burning Sun scandal erupted, the business was withdrawn before it could begin, and the corporation completed its dissolution and liquidation in 2019 without any actual operations or revenue generation.

Lee Seung-hyun (Seungri) has never invested in or held shares in JM Solution from the past to the present.

There are no business or economic relationships with J&M Solution regarding the planning, manufacturing, distribution, sales, or other aspects of its products.

Therefore, claims such as "J.M. Solution is Lee Seung-hyun's (Seungri) company," "Lee Seung-hyun (Seungri) is the owner of J.M. Solution," and "it is a cosmetics brand created with Burning Sun funds" are clearly false.

We take the repeated dissemination of content that is not factual and the distortion of past limited factual relationships by linking them to J&M Solution in the present very seriously.

Regarding the current related posts, evidence is being secured through the legal department and external law firms, and all necessary legal measures will be taken against the creation and dissemination of malicious false statements.

Even if it did not lead to an actual business deal, we deeply feel responsible for having caused concern to our current partners and consumers with the judgment made at that time.

We will respond responsibly in the future to maintain trust in our brand and products.

Once again, we sincerely apologize to our valued customers of JM Solution for any inconvenience caused.

Thank you.
