A recent Instagram story uploaded by the woman featured a cozy photo with former BIGBANG member Seungri, alongside a casual caption and geotagged in Seoul.
The uploader’s profile introduces her as a “crypto trader” and “luxury goods authenticator,” fueling speculation over their relationship and Seungri’s whereabouts.
Dressed in a sleeveless T-shirt and cap, Seungri looked notably slimmer than his bulkier appearance earlier this year at a Chinese nightclub where he had also been controversially spotted partying.
The new sighting is stirring public outrage, particularly given Seungri’s past. A central figure in the 2018 Burning Sun case, Seungri was convicted on nine serious charges, including habitual gambling, prostitution mediation, sexual assault-related crimes, foreign exchange violations, and embezzlement. He was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months in prison by the Supreme Court and released in February 2023.
Despite having served time, Seungri’s return to nightlife and his so-called “승츠비” lifestyle—a play on “Gatsby” continues to provoke criticism. Netizens reacted strongly:
“Does he even feel remorse?”
“He really went from jail straight back to clubbing.”
“He should stay out of the public eye forever.”
While some questioned the authenticity of the post and whether it was recent, many expressed fatigue over his repeated appearances in nightlife circles, seeing it as a blatant disregard for the gravity of his past crimes.
As of now, Seungri has not made any official statement regarding the photo or the woman’s identity.
