Police Acquire Testimony About Allegations Of Seungri’s Prostitution Mediation

Apr 1, 2019

On April 1, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency revealed that the police acquired a testimony which stated that there was an instance when Seungri mediated prostitution.

A source with a high rank in the force said, “We have partially confirmed allegations of [Seungri’s] prostitution mediation. Following [the confirmation], we investigated several people in relation to the allegations for two weeks, and four to five of them were women. We also received a testimony about [Seungri] providing prostitution services.”

However, the police are still checking to confirm if Seungri mediated prostitution in exchange for investment, the location where prostitution took place, and whether or not Seungri gave the order.

The police have also completed comparing and analyzing the messages from the group chatroom known as “Seungri’s group chatroom” and the documents they received from the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission so that they can check the authenticity of the messages.

The allegations of prostitution mediation against Seungri were first made due to an exclusive report by SBS funE on February 26, during which the news outlet revealed text messages containing evidence of Seungri ordering Club Arena employees to find prostitutes for a foreign investor in December 2015.
