On April 1, it was revealed that Seungri gifted three BIGBANG concert tickets to Senior Superintendent Yoon.

The officer was previously booked for leaking official confidential information, and he has now been booked for violating the Improper Solicitation and Graft Act as well.

The Improper Solicitation and Graft Act (also referred to as the Kim Young Ran Act) is an anti-corruption law that prohibits individuals from giving and receiving bribes.

Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency’s Provincial Special Detective Division confirmed that Senior Superintendent Yoon did not pay for a part of his portion of the expenses from a meal and golf game with Seungri and Yoo In Suk (former CEO of Yuri Holdings). While receiving police questioning, Seungri admitted to gifting the officer with tickets.

The police added that they have not yet booked Senior Superintendent Yoon’s wife Chief Superintendent Kim, who also received the tickets. A source from the police said, “To book her on charges of violating the Improper Solicitation and Graft Act, we must figure out the amount [that was exchanged], and further investigation is needed.”

Meanwhile, on the same day, Seungri and Yoo In Suk were booked for embezzling funds of their club Monkey Museum.

On April 1, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency revealed that the police acquired a testimony which stated that there was an instance when Seungri mediated prostitution.

A source with a high rank in the force said, “We have partially confirmed allegations of [Seungri’s] prostitution mediation. Following [the confirmation], we investigated several people in relation to the allegations for two weeks, and four to five of them were women. We also received a testimony about [Seungri] providing prostitution services.”

However, the police are still checking to confirm if Seungri mediated prostitution in exchange for investment, the location where prostitution took place, and whether or not Seungri gave the order.

The police have also completed comparing and analyzing the messages from the group chatroom known as “Seungri’s group chatroom” and the documents they received from the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission so that they can check the authenticity of the messages.

The allegations of prostitution mediation against Seungri were first made due to an exclusive report by SBS funE on February 26, during which the news outlet revealed text messages containing evidence of Seungri ordering Club Arena employees to find prostitutes for a foreign investor in December 2015.
