Outraged at Seungri forcing Kim Se Jeong to pour beer, treating her like a hostess in front of the ‘Burning Sun’ group
Seungri has continuously become the focus of criticism over the past time.
Recently, the BBC’s report on the Burning Sun scandal has caused a stir on Asian social networks, becoming a topic that has caused a lot of ink in the press. Notably, Seungri was released by BBC with a series of clips and many scary hidden corners in a once-shaking scandal. After the report went viral, netizens continuously “dug up” a series of offensive clips and deviant statements from Seungri when this male singer was still active in Kbiz.
On May 25, a video recording the interaction between Seungri and Kim Se Jeong at the Salty Tour show in August 2018 was suddenly shared widely across social networks. During the program, Seungri – Jung Joon Young along with Kim Se Jeong and other guests gathered for dinner and talked. Right in the middle of the fun, Seungri suddenly suggested that Kim Se Jeong pour beer for the most attractive male guest: “Se Jeong has participated in the Salty Tour, right… There are 5 more men here. Forget about your reputation.” , their status and assets. Based on their appearance, personality and style, pour beer to the person you think is the most attractive today.” Seungri’s actions made Kim Se Jeong feel uncomfortable, saying “What is this?” He smiled shyly but still followed suit because the show was filming.
In Korean culture, men often ask women to pour them drinks at bars. Furthermore, this action also implies that the person pouring has a lower status than the person being poured. For that reason, Seungri received a lot of “criticism” because he was said to look down on Kim Se Jeong and treat his juniors like brothel attendants.
“Those crazy b*stards really p*ss me off.”
“No one intervened or edited that part out. Good thing Sejeong knew how to react the smart way.”
“I hope Kim Sejeong becomes even more successful.”
“Ew, those f*ckers.”
“Crazy pieces of trash.”
“Even Jung Joon Young was there. Eugh.”
“The person asking her to pour, the people holding up their glasses, and the people who filmed and aired this are all stooping at the same low level. Tsk tsk.”
“There’s no point in calling them out at this point…Even Park Na Rae was there, but seeing how she didn’t stop him, I feel like everybody saw it as just entertainment back then. Now we know better about him and Jung Joon Young. But back then, no one knew, so it would’ve been even more difficult to call them out on stuff like this on set.”
“Wow… So vulgar… I hope Sejeong succeeds even more.”
“These losers f*cking around…”
“When my friend, who used to be a Seungri fan, watched this episode, they immediately guessed that Seungri lives at those escort bars [based on how he was acting].”
