In January, Seungri made waves by expressing his intention to bring G-Dragon to a restaurant event in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, while dancing to "GOOD BOY" by GD X Taeyang.
Seungri, who debuted with Big Bang in 2006, enjoyed immense popularity during their active years and later gained recognition for his 'Seungtsby (Seungri and Gatsby)' persona.
However, in 2019, he became embroiled in the Burning Sun scandal, facing charges ranging from soliciting prostitution to embezzlement.
After a protracted legal battle, the Supreme Court confirmed his sentence of 1 year and 6 months in May 2022. Serving his term in a civilian correctional facility, he was released in February of the following year.
Despite announcing his retirement from the group in March 2019, stating he would leave the group to maintain the group's legacy. However, Seungri continues to leverage the group's fame for overseas events.
This ongoing involvement prompted mixed reactions from netizens, with some questioning his choices and others expressing frustration at the continued association with Big Bang's legacy.
Netizens commented, "He's so brazen,"
"Wow... Just wow."
"Without the 'Big Bang' title, he would've been nothing. Lucky Seungri."
"I think Big Bang should sue him for defamation, lol."
"Seungri is so brazen."
"Why won't he just live quietly?"
"He's going around like that so that he can start another business."
"He's shameless."
"If he's going to go to these events, he should just sing his solo tracks, not Big Bang's."

"Why won't he just live quietly?"
Exactly my thought. Considering everything that happened, he should just start living a humble and quiet life. That's the least he could do to save whatever is left of him.
