Big Bang's Seungri has started off the new year with a lawsuit against female singer, Ms. Shin (33), as reported by Channel A on January 4.  According to this media outlet, on December 29 last year, Seungri filed a lawsuit against Ms. Shin to the police.

Back in June, 2014, Seungri had received an offer from Ms. Shin to try his hand in investing into a building.  He had accepted, giving her 2 billion KRW (~ 1.7 million USD), then added 50 million KRW (~ 43,000 USD) later on when Ms. Shin told him the same year that she also needed money for the building investment corporation.  However, he had not been paid back.

Ms. Shin was revealed to have debuted as a singer back in 2003 and has recently shut down the entertainment agency she had personally owned.  

Regarding this, YG Entertainment told Herald POP at the start of January 5, "His lawsuit is a personal issue, but the company will likewise take action with him.  We will definitely unveil the true relationship through many different investigations."
