Disgraced former K-pop star Seungri was convicted of arranging prostitution and other charges stemming from a sex and drugs scandal and jailed for three years Thursday (Aug 12) by a military court, reports said. Bigbang enjoyed widespread fame following its 2006 debut and Seungri - real name Lee Seung-hyun - went on to become a successful businessman. Seungri had changed his testimony under police questioning and in court, he added, and "lacked credibility". "While it is fortunate he is finally being jailed, the term is too short," a user on Naver, the country's largest portal, posted. The verdict came a month before he was due to be discharged from his mandatory military service.
