Illegal entertainment establishments in a building owned by Big Bang member Daesung closed down in a surprise move.
Channel A's "News A," which aired on Monday, reported that illegal entertainment businesses operating in the Daesung-owned building were closed in a surprise move. The broadcaster said all five illegal entertainment establishments that moved into the Daesung-owned building were closed.
An official at an entertainment center said, "Three floors are closed. When I heard that I was being investigated for tax purposes, I was scared, so I applied for closure at two places," he said. As the local district office, the National Tax Service and the police showed signs of a crackdown, the illegal entertainment establishments seem to have rushed to clean up and report their closures to the district office. Currently, two to three companies have been closed except for businesses on the sixth floor that have been caught in a police crackdown and suspended, according to the broadcaster.
An official at Gangnam District Office said, "We don't have the authority to crack down on businesses if they close down. Our administration office cannot stop the shutdown and we cannot do anything about it even after that," he said.

10. [+7, -1] Same pattern as what happened with Burning Sun...
Police and media focused too much on the celeb which is just a simple landlord, and let criminals all get away as usual. Also police knew about this since April but did NOTHING...
