Seungri is now suspected of receiving as well as negotiating prostitution services.

On May 9, the Special Detective Division of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency stated it was uncovered during their investigation that the former Big Bang member had allegedly received prostitution services at a hotel in Seoul around Christmas in 2015. Seungri was previously reported of allegedly negotiating escort services for overseas investors at a Christmas party during the same time frame.

The crime of soliciting prostitution has been added to Seungri's arrest warrant request, which previously listed procuring prostitution, embezzlement of funds through the club Burning Sun, breaking restaurant tax laws for the club Monkey Museum, and other charges.

Police stated, "We'll have to investigate the details of the dates and who was involved. We're confirming the overall facts."
