Seungri "old horse familiar with the old road": Arrogantly challenging public opinion, where will Kpop go?

Former BIGBANG member Seungri has once again become the focus of public anger in Korea with his latest shocking images and statements. The incident has not only "heated up" the Burning Sun scanda.l but also stirred up a wave of anger in the Kpop community.

On December 25, Seungri's image at an exhibition in Malaysia quickly spread on social media and climbed to the top of the search results on Naver portal. The former idol's "fat" and unrecognizable appearance attracted attention, but what caused the public to "stir up" the most was his supposed statement: "I earn more mone.y than G-Dragon."

This statement sparked a wave of outrage. Netizens did not hesitate to condemn Seungri's brazen attitude, who has seriously affected BIGBANG's reputation, but still continues to mak.e mone.y based on the group's shadow and constantly drag the members into his stories. With a scandalous past, the source of Seungri's mone.y has raised more suspicions in public opinion.

Not only did his shocking statements cause outrage, information about Seungri's current life has made the public even more indignant. Despite the crimes he committed in the Burning Sun scanda.l, Seungri calmly returned to his daily life after serving his prison term, seemingly showing no signs of repentance. Instead of hiding and reflecting on his past mistakes, Seungri continuously appeared at events, parties, and even performed, as if nothing had happened.

These actions have sparked a wave of strong indignation in the online community. Last January, Seungri was caught holding a fan meeting in Cambodia, an act that was considered a "challenge" to public opinion. In early May, the news that Seungri attended a famous businessman's birthday party in Malaysia and performed BIGBANG's "Bang Bang Bang" made the public even more "boiled". Seungri's continued use of the group's reputation to "mak.e mone.y" after the shocking scandals has been harshly condemned.

Seungri even intends to return to business, opening a nightclub in Southeast Asia. According to a source, the incident where a nightclub in Surabaya, Indonesia announced an event called Burning Sun and invited Seungri as a guest of honor has sparked heated controversy.

The fact that the organizers took advantage of the shocking scanda.l and invited the key figure to participate has met with a strong wave of indignation from Asian netizens. Although Seungri later denied participating in the event, this action is still considered careless, unrepentant and defiant of public opinion.

Indignant comments flooded social media, not only from Korean audiences but also from international fans, including Vietnamese. Many expressed disappointment and indignation at Seungri’s brazen attitude, calling for a boycott of his activities and asking local authorities to ban his appearance at public events. Even Seungri’s largest fanpage in Vietnam with more than 119,000 followers officially announced its closure on May 20, expressing the extreme disappointment of Vietnamese fans towards their one-time idol.

The Burning Sun scanda.l that was exposed in 2019 exposed Seungri's true face, from a beloved idol to a condemned criminal. A series of crimes cost him a prison sentence. However, for many, the price Seungri had to pay was too light compared to the damage he caused to the victims and the reputation of BIGBANG.

Seungri's reappearance with his wild statements and defiant actions has reopened the unhealed wounds in the public's hearts. The question of whether Seungri truly repents and changes remains open, but it is certain that the public will not easily forgive his actions.
