The former BIGBANG member reportedly gears up for another venture.

Recent reports in Korean media suggest Seungri is gearing up to launch a new club venture in Cambodia. Sources close to the singer reveal that investments for the establishment have already been secured, marking his second foray into the nightclub industry.

Seungri's previous venture, the infamous Burning Sun club in Korea, was embroiled in scandal over allegations of illegal activities like prostitution and drug use.

Prior rumors hinted at Seungri's desire to re-enter the nightlife scene, with sightings of him socializing with key figures in Hong Kong.

Speculation among local netizens suggested an imminent nightclub opening in the area.

"Yeah, he was constantly mingling with alcohol distributors and club owners. It seemed like business-related interactions. There were numerous women with plastic surgery and gold diggers surrounding him."

While many were surprised that news of his potential club opening in Cambodia broke first, Seungri is no stranger to the international market. He previously made appearances at fan meetings in the country, even making promises to bring fellow artist G-DRAGON to Cambodia.

However, Korean netizens are expressing outrage over Seungri's reported venture:

"He's obsessed with clubs… Probably planning another drug party there."
"Is he expanding globally now?"
"Another club? He'll likely repeat the same mistakes."
"Hope it crashes and burns. Seriously."
"Is he completely out of his mind?"
"Gross."
"The Burning Sun scandal sent shockwaves through the K-pop industry. Whistleblowers exposed a plethora of illegal activities, including drug abuse, illegal filming, and sexual assault.

Seungri's involvement in a group chat sharing illicit content and facilitating prostitution further tainted his image. In 2020, he admitted guilt to charges of procuring prostitution, illegal filming, habitual gambling, and more, resulting in a jail sentence of one and a half years."

TWICE’s Jihyo has made headlines after purchasing a building worth a staggering 4 billion won in her 20s.

On May 2, Herald Economy reported that Jihyo bought a building in Seongdong-gu, Seongsu-dong 2-ga, Seoul, in early March of last year.

By the end of that month, she had completed the full payment and transferred ownership, with no mortgage attached, suggesting that the property was purchased entirely with cash.

Just a month after the purchase, Jihyo registered as a housing rental business operator and completed the registration for private rental housing.

As a housing rental business operator, she is eligible for tax benefits, such as reduced acquisition tax. However, she is also subject to certain regulations, including a 5% cap on rent increases, compliance with rental periods, and mandatory insurance for tenant deposits.

The building, which was built in 1986, has a land area of 152㎡ (45.98 pyeong) and a total floor area of 330.21㎡ (99.89 pyeong). It includes one basement level and three floors above ground.

The property is situated in Seongsu Strategic Redevelopment Zone 2, an area currently undergoing redevelopment.

Given the area's future potential, it is believed that Jihyo's investment is more focused on the property's long-term value rather than immediate rental income.
