K-Pop's Seungri Retires Amid Charges of Supplying Prostitutes
K-Pop star Seungri is retiring from the music industry after being charged with supplying prostitutes.
If you don’t know, he is one part of the boy band BIGBANG.
“We booked Seungri and changed his status to that of a suspect in order to issue a search and seizure warrant and clear [Seungri] of the suspicions,” a police spokesman said (via Variety).
The allegations stem from a nightclub in Seoul that the K-Pop star is involved with. He is denying any involvement.
Apparently, the night club staff helped supply drugged women to VIP clients.
Seung-ri has responded on his Instagram account, writing, “At this point, I think it would be best if I retire from the entertainment industry. I decided on retiring from the entertainment industry as the issues that I caused a societal disturbance with are too major. Regarding the issues that are being investigated, I will be investigated diligently and reveal all the suspicions.”
