On April 12, a source from MBC revealed, “Jung Joon Young’s broadcasted appearances have been banned because he was arrested.”

The source continued, “It is hard to restrict broadcasted appearances of Seungri and Choi Jong Hoon because they are only being investigated, but we acknowledge the gravity of this matter. Thus, we have temporarily restricted the two from appearing [on MBC].”

The source further explained that the level of restrictions regarding Seungri and Choi Jong Hoon will be redetermined in compliance with the result of the ongoing investigations.

On April 9, KBS also announced that they have decided to include Jung Joon Young, Seungri, and Choi Jong Hoon on their list of people who are banned from appearing on any shows associated with the network.

Jung Joon Young was placed under arrest in March for filming and distributing videos containing hidden camera footage. Seungri was booked and is currently being investigated for suspicions of prostitution mediation, violating food sanitation laws, spreading illegal footage, and embezzlement. Lastly, Choi Jong Hoon was booked for filming and sharing illegal footage, which he admitted to committing on April 11.

According to a new report by Star Today, Seungri and former Yuri Holdings CEO Yoo In Suk have been booked on suspicions of embezzling funds from Burning Sun.

Authorities traced a portion of Burning Sun’s capital to Seungri and Yoo In Suk after it was moved through various accounts and other abnormal routes, and they have obtained testimony from someone related to the matter.

Police have also booked the CEO of Jeonwon Saneop, a company that holds 42 percent share of Burning Sun, after finding that funds from the club had also been moved to the company through methods similar to Seungri and Yoo In Suk.

Investigations are ongoing, and authorities are currently performing a search and seizure at the offices of Jeonwon Saneop and Yuri Holdings for financial records. Police estimate that the embezzled funds amount to tens of millions of won (approximately tens of thousands of dollars). A source stated that some suspicions have already been confirmed, and added, “Because the embezzled amount could increase after investigations, we cannot reveal any specifics at this time.”

Previously, Seungri and Yoo In Suk were booked for embezzling from the club Monkey Museum.

In addition to embezzlement, Seungri is under investigation for prostitution mediation, bribery, and sharing illegally taken footage.
