Controversy: In 2019 Seungri retired from the entertainment industry and public life in general after getting wrapped up in a prostitution scandal. He allegedly was involved in offering foreign investors prostitutes when they visited a club he co-owned called Burning Sun. An arrest warrant was issued then retracted. As of this writing he is still being investigated on seven charges: procuring sex service, prostitution mediation, embezzlement of business funds for hiring a legal representative, embezzlement of club Burning Sun revenues, attempt at destruction of evidence, distribution of illegally-filmed content via social platforms, and violation of the Food Sanitation Act.
