Former Big Bang member Seungri has stirred up controversy once again, this time by pledging to bring G-Dragon to an overseas event.

On the 22nd, Seungri visited Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and held an event at a restaurant. The video of the event spread online, drawing criticism from netizens.

In the video, Seungri took the lead in setting the atmosphere. Dressed in a suit, he stood on a platform, lit candles on a cake, and enjoyed a lively party with cheers from the crowd.

Seungri stated, "Someday, I will bring G-Dragon here," and danced to the song "Good Boy" by G-Dragon and Taeyang. The people at the venue shouted "G-Dragon" in response.

However, public opinion has been cold, viewing Seungri's statement as causing trouble. This is not surprising considering Seungri left the group in 2019 amid the "Burning Sun scandal." His display of friendship with G-Dragon may be awkward given the circumstances.

In 2019, Seungri was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months in prison on a total of nine charges, including arranging prostitution, prostitution, violation of the Act on the Punishment of the Procurement and the Protection of Victims, habitual gambling, violation of the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act, and special assault. 

He was released in February of last year. However, even after serving his sentence, Seungri has continued to generate controversy. In October of last year, he faced criticism for dating and traveling with two women in Bali.
