Former BIGBANG member Seungri has been spotted multiple times around South Korea, particularly in the busy district of Gangnam, Seoul.

Sources say Seungri has been regularly visiting various restaurants and pubs, often keeping a low profile and spending time with friends. He’s usually seen casually dressed, quietly enjoying drinks in the corners of these establishments.

An anonymous source shared, "Seungri visits pubs around twice a week. He drinks quietly before leaving, keeping things low-key."

After being banned from the entertainment industry following the Burning Sun scandal, Seungri had been rumored to be living in Southeast Asia, including Cambodia. He was even seen in a Cambodian club making bold statements like, "I’ll bring G-Dragon."

Recently, Seungri has been spotted meeting with overseas investors in Southeast Asia. Looking different with a suit, glasses, and a bit of weight gain, he appeared to be focused on business. Among the people he was seen with was Jacob Arabo, the founder of a luxury Swiss watch brand, J.

Seungri became a controversial figure in 2019 after the Burning Sun scandal, which led to his departure from BIGBANG.

At the time, he was serving in the military and was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months by a military court. Later, he was transferred to a civilian prison, the Yeoju Correctional Institution, before being released in February of last year.

Seungri faced numerous charges, including habitual gambling, prostitution, violations of several laws, embezzlement, and instigation of assault. Fans have been curious to see what he's been up to since his release.

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.
