BIGBANG‘s Seungri explained why he shut down his idol academy business on the January 4th episode of ‘Weekly Idol‘.

Jung Hyung Don commented, “Seungri charges so much for his business,” and Seungri responded, “I didn’t personally run it. However, I heard that my employees worked really hard. I ran a vocal and dance academy. A lot of idols have come from there,” naming WINNER‘s Kim Jin Woo and BTSj-hope.

He explained why he had to stop the venture, however, saying, “The teachers and students would end up liking each other, and I got calls from parents. That’s why I shut it down.”
