Seungri will be undergoing trial for 8 offenses in military court next week.
According to reports on September 11, Seungri will undergo his first trial at the Ground Operations Command in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province at 10AM on the 16th KST. It's been about 7 months since he was indicted as a civilian this past January, and the delay in the trial after his indictment was due to the former Big Bang member's enlistment for his mandatory military service and the change of courts from the Seoul Central District Court to the General Military Court of the Ground Operations Command.
As previously reported, his case was previously transferred to the 5th Army Command General Military Court, but it's said that it was then transferred to Ground Operations Command due to the gravity of his crimes. Seungri faces 8 charges, including violation of the Act on Aggravated Punishment, violation of the Food Sanitation Act, violation of the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes, violation of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Sex Trade, and violation of the Foreign Exchange Act.
Stay tuned for updates on Seungri's case.

Reprint of July 5 article sourced from nate.com at that time. The charges are not correctly described. Also nate stated serious case, not gravity of crimes. Come on akp, the serious crimes were the drugging, raping and filming of women. NOTHING TO DO WITH SEUNGRI. How have those other men, who actually committed the "serious" crimes managed to stay out of your limelight?
Lets be clear, this case was transferred to the military courts because after a year of investigation, there were no serious charges to be able to justify the scope of the investigation. The public is going to be furious, after all, they read every day how some kind of serious charges were pending. The civilian court and police could not find evidence to substantiate those type of charges. But they found evidence for JJY, Choi, and the other men investigated. Not only in the Burning Sun portion of this event, but also the sexual assaults portion, they investigated and convicted. STILL lesser infractions is all they came up with on Seungri, why?
The TRUTH is often more simple than people wish to believe. He was not involved in those other situa5ions.
