None of the K-Pop idols involved in the scandal were more connected than ex-BIGBANG‘s Seungri. The former idol was associated with the Burning Sun club and alleged to be a member of the notorious group chats where illegal sex videos were shared.
Seungri was ultimately found guilty of arranging sex trafficking, illicit gambling, and several other charges, receiving a short year-and-a-half prison sentence.
