This started from CCTV footage of Burning Sun that revealed the sexual violence scandal involving Seungri. Cases of drug distribution, assault, and prostitution services began to surface. Seungri could no longer deny the issues as more evidence emerged. In the end, he had to face legal consequences and terminate his contract with YG Entertainment.
