Seungri, formerly of the group BIGBANG, revealed that he is legally married to his wife and is about to become a father.

According to Ilgan Sports on the 28th, Seungri is already a married man who has completed marriage registration. His wife is expected to give birth in January next year.

Previously, on the 27th, Grey News reported that Seungri's non-celebrity girlfriend in her 20s was scheduled to give birth in January next year. This led to speculation about a premarital pregnancy.

Regarding this matter, Seungri told Ilgan Sports, "As it is a private matter, I feel burdened by providing specific details," but added, "My wife and I are, of course, legally married, and the claim that 'we got married because she was pregnant' is not true."

It was also reported that Seungri plans to hold a wedding ceremony after the birth of his child. However, Seungri drew a line on this, stating, "At present, I am not considering a wedding ceremony."

When asked about his feelings on transitioning from husband to father, Seungri stated, "As I am taking responsibility for a family, I feel an even heavier sense of duty," adding, "I deeply reflect on the disappointment and hurt I caused in the past due to my mistakes, and I will show you a changed side through a quiet and diligent life."

He continued, "I would be grateful if you could warmly watch over my future life," while also requesting, "However, since my family are not public figures, please refrain from excessive interest and speculation."

Meanwhile, Seungri was effectively expelled from the entertainment industry after being identified as a key figure in the so-called 'Burning Sun Gate' that erupted in 2018. Seungri was prosecuted on nine charges, including brokering prostitution, prostitution, violation of the Act on Special Provisions Concerning the 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 business, violation of the Act on Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes, and instigation of aggravated assault. He was ultimately sentenced to one year and six months in prison and served his sentence.

At the time, Seungri, who was serving in the military, received his trial while holding military status. After his prison sentence was finalized, he was transferred to a civilian prison and was released on February 9, 2023.

Recently, he was sued on charges of assaulting another customer at a restaurant. The complainant alleged that they were subjected to assault and threats by Seungri's group at a restaurant in Seoul Gangnam-gu last August.

Yoon Jae-bin, an attorney at the law firm Surim who serves as Seungri's legal representative, stated, "It is true that he picked up a soju bottle, but he did not swing it or strike anyone," and conveyed that they would diligently cooperate with future investigations.
