Former K-pop star Seungri indicted in sex case

Former K-pop idol Seungri has been indicted for prostitution and habitual gambling. This comes a year after the allegations first came to light in a sexual abuse scandal that rocked South Korea’s entertainment industry. Seungri has denied all allegations. Seungri, whose real name is Lee Seung-hyun, avoided spending time on remand at a hearing at Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office on January 30, after being charged with organising prostitution, habitual gambling, and violation of the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act, reports aceshowbiz.com.

Seungri’s involvement in the case was as a part-owner and public relations liaison of a nightclub in Seoul’s exclusive Gangnam district. The charges come a year after a string of women reported that they were “drugged and served to men” at clubs in South Korea. Soon Seungri exited from the entertainment business. (IANS)
