Lawyer: 'Daesung could face up to 7 years in prison if found guilty' + netizens react

Posted by emmamadison2410,984 pts Wednesday, July 31, 2019

On the July 30 broadcast ofSBS's 'Midnight', they discussed the ongoing controversy involving Big Bang member Daesung. Daesung is under controversy for letting illegal businesses run in his Gangnam building. These businesses are also under suspicion of tax evasion, drug distribution, prostitution, etc.

A real estate expert said, "Daesung's statement that he didn't know just doesn't make sense. Before purchasing a building, buyers will tour the facilities as well as discuss contracts involving tenants in the building." He also addressed the tax evasion suspicions stating, "Entertainment establishments like room salons and clubs are subject to really high property taxes. If they registered the business as a 'general restaurant' at time of acquisition, then suspicions of tax evasion are high."

A lawyer observed, "Even if the landlord knows that a business is operating illegally as a 'general restaurant', criminal punishment will be difficult. But if the business owner arranges for prostitutes for its customers and the owner doesn't exercise his management responsibility, the act of acquiescence is punished severely under the law. The landlord could be subject to a 7-yr prison term with a fine of up to 70 million won."

  1. 1. [+1,739, -289] ㅋㅋ ㅋㅋ so he did all kinds of things with a face like that...how did he even become a celebrity??
  2. 2. [+669, -92] Anyone who goes to any business in Gangnam knows all about the prostitution there...they're only making a fuss now because a celebrity is involved..I'm sure all the reporters have all known about this for a long time...why are they working so hard like this now..ㅋㅋ
  3. 3. [+538, -116] Wow the media is so ridiculous it scary...the so called "secret rooms" are basically high-end karaoke rooms for young people...that's why Daesung bought the building any other investor would've done the same...the only thing that's problematic is maybe the tax issue but even then...all the landlord cares about is that the tenant pays their rent at the end of the month...that's it!
  4. 4. [+453, -45] There are other landlords that do these kinds of things too..why aren't you catching them??
  5. 5. [+468, -157] Since when is the owner of the building liable for the crimes committed by a tenant??
  6. 6. [+145, -4] Well, if its prostitution then we just need to figure out if Daesung knew...if he did he needs to be put away for 20 years instead of 7..
  7. 7. [+157, -46] Isn't this a bit much??
  8. 8. [+124, -7] Is this confirmed?
  9. 9. [+21, -12] ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ Why are these Big Bang thugs still walking about freely?? ㅋ ㅋ ㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋThey're just 5 ugly kids who only care about milking their fans dry of money. If they really cared about their fans they wouldn't live like that...Especially these female fans..wake up!! 2nd gen stans are so blind it's pathetic...I know you love them and all but you need to wake up to reality!!
  10. 10. [+13, -6] So he went and got legal advice and still bought the building...ㅋㅋㅋㅋthere's no way he didn't know...these pharmacy kids must really think the public are dogs and pigs ㅋㅋ

I am not really defending Daesung or something.. But does it even make more sense if they investigated the building instead of the owner?? I mean come on... Daesung or at least they can't prove that Daesung is the one who owns those businesses... I could own a building and does not even know that my tenants are doing something illegal.

Media is focusing so much on a celebrity when they should focus more on the crime.
