KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 5 — The Asia Pacific entertainment industry is abuzz with the latest controversy surrounding Seungri, formerly of the renowned K-pop band BigBang. Recent revelations suggest that the singer-songwriter may have been involved in a deceptive two-timing escapade in Bali, Indonesia.
Key Highlights:
- Double Deception: Seungri is alleged to have simultaneously dated two women, orchestrating separate vacations with each in Bali.
- Same Itinerary, Different Company: Both women, who were unaware of each other’s involvement with Seungri, visited identical locations in Bali, from hotels to cafes.
- Social Media Revelation: The two women, who follow each other on social media, inadvertently exposed Seungri’s duplicity through their shared vacation photos.
- Past Controversies: Seungri’s recent release from Yeoju Prison, following an 18-month sentence for his role in the Burning Sun scandal, adds another layer to his controversial image.
The story came to light when South Korean media outlet Dispatch reported on the overlapping Bali vacations of the two women, both of whom were romantically involved with Seungri. The meticulously planned trips saw one woman depart Bali just as the other arrived. However, the identical itineraries, from the same hotel stays to beach visits, raised suspicions.

One of the women, referred to as ‘B’, noticed familiar locations on the other woman’s, ‘A’, Instagram story. “There were pictures of the restaurant and cafe Seungri and I went to on (her) Instagram story,” B remarked. This revelation led to a conversation between the two women, confirming their simultaneous relationships with Seungri.
The timeline of events suggests that Seungri officially began dating ‘A’ earlier in September, vacationing with her from September 21 to 25. Almost immediately after, from September 25 to 28, he invited ‘B’, a friend of four years, to Bali, implying a romantic interest in her.
This incident adds to Seungri’s controversial image, especially in the wake of his recent release from Yeoju Prison. He had served an 18-month sentence for his involvement in the notorious Burning Sun scandal, which included charges of sex trafficking, illicit gambling, and misappropriation of funds.
The unfolding story serves as a reminder of the intense scrutiny celebrities face in the Asia Pacific region. As fans and critics alike await Seungri’s response, the incident underscores the importance of transparency and integrity in the public eye.
