The youngest member of K-Pop mega-group Big Bang, Seungri made the announcement on his official Instagram account on Tuesday. Seungri has for years maintained the squeaky-clean image required of South Korean entertainers. But in recent months a scandal dogging the Burning Sun nightclub in Seoul, which Seungri sat on the board of, had put that reputation in danger. Drug laws are exceptionally strict in South Korea and drug use is also rare. "Many Korean women have had unfortunate or scary experiences at clubs, and some men are also aware and outraged about this sort of predatory and illegal behavior," Saeji said.
