Seung-ri (31, real name Seung-hyun Lee), a former member of the group Big Bang, denied the allegations of mobilizing a gang of gangs for drinking.
Seungri denied the charges of a special assault teacher at the 11th trial of the military trial held at the General Military Court of the Ground Operations Command in Yongin City, Gyeonggi-do on the 26th, saying that he had nothing to do with gangsters.
Earlier, the military prosecution informed Seungri of this fact to former Yuri Holdings CEO Yoo In-seok when Seungri was drinking with his acquaintances at a bar in Gangnam-gu, Seoul at the end of December 2015. He called for a threat to the victims and further prosecuted him as a special assault teacher.
According to the military prosecutor’s office, Seungri made a dispute with Mrs. A and B who opened the door of their room, and reported this to the group chat room where former representative Yoo and others were involved. After that, Mr. Yoo said that he sent C, a member of a gang member he had known, to a place where there was victory. Mr. C is indicted with the victory.
At the trial on the day when the evidence was investigated, the military prosecution released a closed circuit (CC) TV that contained the circumstances related to the suspicion of Seungri’s special assault teacher.
The video shows Seungri meeting victims A and B. While Seungri was talking with an actress in the Pocha inner room, Mr. A appeared and said hello, and Mr. B was talking with Seungri in the Pocha corridor. Group chat room members Jung Joon-young, Choi Jong-hoon, and Yoo In-seok also appeared.
The prosecutor insisted that one of the vehicles in the video that appeared near the back alley of the pub was the vehicle of a gangster, and added that you can see Seungri talking with people getting off the vehicle.
Regarding this, Seungri’s lawyer said, “The Pocha is a regular house of Seungri, and because there is a celebrity in the party, it has established itself as an independent room,” and said, “In the room where Seungri is with the actress, Mr. A, who does not know, opened the door.” .
“A was drinking, and he glanced at the actress in front of Seungri. It wasn’t a good situation for Seungri, but he laughed at Mr. A and said, “I talked nicely with Mr. B, who had another dispute.” After sending the actress first, she tried to move to another place and have a drink with her party, but it has nothing to do with Mr. C, who showed off her power to the victims.”
He also said, “The prosecutor was a gangster, so certain people were the bar owners and bodyguards.”
Regarding how Seungri was caught touching a mobile phone, he said that he did not contact the former CEO of Yoo, saying, “It was not to contact someone, but to unconsciously touched the mobile phone.”

Meanwhile, at the trial that afternoon, singer Jung Joon-young, a member of the’Burning Sun’ incidental chat room, attended as a witness and received a newspaper regarding the suspicion of Seungri’s prostitution, prostitution, and special assault teacher.
Seungri’s best friend Jung Joon-young, who attended as a witness, said, “I remember that Mr. A was a senior at Seungri’s school and said,’We settled in a place other than the room, but why did Seungri’s junior take the room?’ He replied that he did not know well about the specific situation, even though he said, “At the time, the feeling of victory would not have been good.”
