He's a total yakuza now lol


[+10,834, -1,218] The sentence sounds rather mild, but...


[+3,491, -343] What a waste of his rise to stardom. It's amazing how far he's fallen


[+3,748, -628]Whatever the reason,  as a human being, as a man he crossed a line.

I want him to feel remorse and rethink himself..


[+2,783, -324] No matter where he is from, what he did is the worst thing a man can do. Treating women like cattle is unacceptable.

I wonder if it's a negative chain of events, and I wonder how the women who were affected are doing


[+2,673, -437] When Seungri was on Japanese TV, I never thought he was doing something like this because he was polite, spoke good Japanese and was funny.

His sentence seems light, but I'm sure he won't have an easy life after he gets out of prison because of his fall from being a top artist.

Please pay for your sins for the rest of your life


[+2,133, -300] Three years is too short...

After all, with the way the incident was handled, similar incidents are still going on. South Korea will never change because of the intense cooperation....


[+1,434, -203] He was so close to being on the side of the exploiters, but he was just one step short.

There are probably more bad guys than this guy, but once they get past him, the investigations won't be able to reach them.

It seems that the entertainment industry in any country has a deep darkness

People who can't admit that they are wrong can only be punished.

Normally, people can judge for themselves whether something is wrong or not, or understand it and choose not to do it before it happens.

People who don't know what they're doing unless they're told, or don't know what they're doing even if they're told, are harmful to the people around them.
