K-Pop Star Seungri Retires From Music

Following a string of allegations made against him...

K-Pop star Seungri has retired from entertainment following weeks of allegations made against him.

The pop star is part of the BIGBANG stable, but recent media reports linked Seungri to procuring sex for investors.

The allegations became widespread a few weeks ago, with South Korean police now stepping in to investigate.

Alongside this, Seungri has been accused of drug use at the Burning Sun club, where he is a director.

Now Seungri has retired from entertainment, placing a message to fans on his Instagram.

“I feel like it is best for me to retire from the entertainment business at this point,” he wrote. “I will sincerely submit to the investigation on this matter, and reveal the truth to all the allegations.”

Check out the message in full below.

승리입니다 제가 이시점에서 연예계를 은퇴를하는것이 좋을거같습니다. 사회적 물의를 일으킨 사안이 너무나 커 연예계 은퇴를 결심했습니다 수사중인 사안에 있어서는 성실하게 조사를 받아 쌓인 모든 의혹을 밝히도록 하겠습니다. 지난 한달반동안 국민들로부터 질타받고 미움받고 지금 국내 모든 수사기관들이 저를 조사하고 있는 상황에서 국민역적 으로까지 몰리는 상황인데 저 하나 살자고 주변 모두에게 피해주는일은 도저히 제스스로가 용납이 안됩니다 지난 10여 년간 많은 사랑을 베풀어준 국내외 많은 팬분들께 모든 진심을 다해 감사드리며 와이지와 빅뱅 명예를 위해서라도 저는 여기까지인거같습니다 다시한번 죄송하고 또 죄송합니다 그동안 모든분들께 감사했습니다
