It was a comedy based on a department at YG Entertainment.
Following new information about Seungri‘s role in the “Burning Sun Scandal,” old clips featuring female idols interacting with him have gone viral.
BBC recently released a documentary about the Burning Sun Scandal, including shocking footage of Seungri’s behavior towards a woman.
After the BBC documentary about the Burning Sun Scandal, clips from an old series starring Seungri and other idols have resurfaced following the new footage.
Back in 2018, Seungri starred in a comedy documentary for Netflix called YG Future Strategy Office, where a new department was created called the Future Strategy Office. The purpose of the department is for the company’s troublemaking artists and misfits to have been sent, and Seungri was chosen to be the head of the department.
The documentary contained huge stars, including the members of BLACKPINK.
There were also moments where the BLACKPINK members had to share their “feelings” being around Seungri, and they all pointed at a negative narrative.
There was even a clip where Sunmi pointed out that sunbaenims told her to stay away from Seungri, especially her female seniors.
When the clips were shared by an OP online, it instantly gained attention with over 24,000 likes in 24 hours.

When the tweet was shared, it gained a lot of attention as netizens shared more clips from the show and how it showcased Seungri’s “creepy” behavior. Although it was all for entertainment, netizens found it interesting that he was “playing” this kind of role just for the new videos and allegations to resurface, showcasing his personality.

While netizens aren’t claiming there’s a link between the scandal and the narrative of the series when it was created, it’s not surprising that it’s being brought back and gaining a lot of attention.
