Seungri also recently resigned from his executive director position at Burning Sun, a club in Gangnam that is currently being under investigation for claims of assault, rape, drugs, and corruption.

Although it is uncertain why Seungri decided to resign from these posts, Yang Hyun Suk had previously mentioned that Seungri was getting his businesses in order in preparation for his upcoming military enlistment set for March or April.

“The reason Seungri resigned from his position as director of the club was in order to comply with the regulations of military enlistment as he was planning to enlist in the military in March or April.”
