Seungri "There were many things that were imaginative transcendental investigations, disgraceful" .8088 hours of confession
The group Big Bang former member Seungri (real name Lee Seung-hyun, 31) looked back this past time after receiving a newspaper as a defendant nine months after the military trial began.
On the 30th, the 24th trial of the military trial of Seungri was held at the General Military Court of the Ground Operations Command in Yongin City, Gyeonggi Province. The newspaper started at 9:30 am and continued until 9:30 pm, including the meal time, but the charges were so vast that it could not be finished and the additional date is underway until the afternoon of the 1st. Seungri, who denied many charges surrounding him, recalled a total of 337 days and 8088 hours of hard memories, saying that the police investigation process, which lasted more than 50 times, was "imaginary transcendence."
Seungri was indicted in January last year on nine charges, including violations of the Special Act on Prostitution Arrangement, Prostitution, Punishment of Sexual Assault Crimes, Violation of the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act, Violation of the Food Sanitation Act, Violation of Acts on Business Embezzlement, Severe Economic Crimes, etc. (Embezzlement), and Special Assault Teachers, but he joined the military court since September last year. Seungri, who denied most of his charges from the beginning of the trial, also denied eight charges except for the alleged violation of the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act.
Seungri also showed signs of exhaustion in the 12-hour military prosecutors, lawyers and judges' newspapers, but defended himself in a strong tone. He denied that he had never been involved in the process of arranging prostitution, and that prostitution had no reason to have a relationship with him. He also emphasized that he had never taken illegal filming of women's nudity.
He explained that the embezzlement charges that were imposed by the lawyer's consulting fees of employees such as DJs belonging to Yuri Holdings were made for companies, not individuals, and that the allegations of violating the Special Rapporteur Act were made by signing a legitimate brand fee contract.
Seungri also denied the allegations of habitual gambling, saying that it was true that he gambled at the Las Vegas hotel, but that he did it during the middle of the schedule. However, he acknowledged that he violated the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act, but he lent it to the party, not himself, and explained that the party also paid for it. Regarding the allegations of special assault teachers, he explained that he had never called a gangster and that he knew the fact that the gangster came to the scene for the first time in the Susa process.
It was February 27, 2019 that Seungri first attended Police in the case, which began with the revelation of the assault on Gangnam club Burning Sun. On March 14, a full day later, Seungri, who was changed from a victim to a suspect, was indicted on January 30, 2020, after two arrest warrants were dismissed. It took as many as 337 days, or 8088 hours, a year.
"When I received my first Susa (after the Club Burning Sun incident), I said, "I'll be intimidated and invoked" and "I'll let you know clearly,"" said Seungri, who was fortunate to have "nine charges that I somehow made at the Police Susa stage."
"The issue of Police collusion, which was caused by the expression 'Police President' that appeared in the Katok bag at the time, was ordered to be strict at the top. They were told to take him in. 160 Greater Susa Police were put into Burning Sun Susa, and Seungri was at the center. I can’t forget the fear of being Susa at the time. The Police Department has been Susa for all of my departments. I got Susa, who was floating, and there was a lot of really disgraceful things in the investigation. "
"Police was going to put it in relation to Drug unconditionally, because if you do it with Drug, you can arrest him, but you can't because you don't have proof. After an hour of questioning, she told me to do a hair swab in front of her eyes, and even though I had given her hair to her armpits, she didn’t come out of the department. I do not smoke, let alone Drug, but why do not I come out? I didn't, but Police said, "I'm a Drug expert, but your face is a Drug." He called me a second time and asked for ten years' account. I took it all away. He called for the third time, asked, "Did you really (Drug) do not do it?" And said, "I can not do it." He showed other entertainer photos and said, "Tell one of them."
"I don't announce that I haven't even done it (on the drug charges) because Police isn't making an official announcement, no one knows. I am living in the military as a crime stone when the trial is not over. "Detectives said," We will arrest you unconditionally, or you will take off your clothes like Domino. So confess. "He told me for 30 minutes to call a lawyer separately to confess." He said, "I deserve to be criticized as an official, but it was really hard for people to endure. It was so hard, but I put up with it, I waited for this day to make my voice," he said.
Seungri added: "I received Susa all to keep my promises with the people. I wanted to tell you that it was not a police collusion, so I went to the Gwanghwamun restaurant (I ate with Yoon), and checked the calculations directly. "No one knows." "I asked for a lie detector investigation because no one believed me," he added.
Regarding the public opinion that most of the charges are denied and do not reflect, Seungri said, "It is natural to criticize me because the person who was recognized and loved by the people was involved in the unsavory work. But I do not think it is not, and I think it is right to solve the misunderstanding. Susa was really hard to do only that I should be arrested, but I endured it. "
Katok bag, which had five people including Chung Joon-young, who was sentenced to prison for sex crimes, was unhappy with the misunderstanding, saying he had nothing to do with himself. "I bought public sympathy and criticism after Chung Joon-young's Katok bag was released to the media," he said. "There is one room in the Katok bag in Chung Joon-young's mobile phone, including eight Katok bag, six Katok bag except for me and Yoo In-seok, four Katok bag minus two of them, and another two added. There is a room, "he stressed that he was not related to the rape case.
"The reason they were arrested is because of the fact of sexual assault," said Seungri. "The case is a Katok bag without me, but it comes out as a member of 'Seungri Katok bag' in the media, and many people know that I am involved in sexual violence, but this is not true. The Katok bag I participated in is a Katok bag made to open a potcha, but it is not related to the case of Chung Joon-young, who was sentenced to prison. "
Friends who had no knowledge of their business, including Yuri Holdings, testified in the Police investigation that the charges were weighed by the allegations of Seungri, but also expressed their heartfelt feelings about the reversal in court statements. "I have been guilty of sins and are paying for sins, but as a person I have been sincere as a friend. However, all of them said that they wanted to finish it quickly, that they would have to give the answer they wanted, and that they did not look at it carefully, not my case. I regretted that I had been with such a friend for ten years, and I was pathetic. If you come here (the court) and overturn, I will say that during the Police investigation. "I was very sorry."
"There are 32 witnesses," said Sungri, in a suspicion of conciliatory allegations raised in some cases. Who would like to meet all 32 people? "He denied," I would not be unfair if I did not. "
"Police has searched for four seizures for reasons such as destruction of evidence and concerns about escape. I took my cell phone and tried to find out what I talked to my lawyer and what I had to do with the witnesses. "There are six cell phones submitted to the court. Police seize and search, the National Tax Service seizes and does not come out of it, so Police seizes the National Tax Service. "What do I do to him, when he's such a (Susa robber)?"
"I do not know everything because I was shared in the Katok bag," he said of various newspapers based on the contents of the Katok bag, which included eight people including Seungri, Yoo In-seok, Jung Jun-young and Choi Jong-hoon. "I used more than ten katok group rooms I was participating in, and I used about five other SNSs other than katok. There are 500 messages accumulated in an hour. I can not say that I saw and knew everything because the message came, "he said." The Katok bag content is not all of my life. "
Seungri also said, "Katok bag was only among friends, so inappropriate words and phrases came and went. There are a lot of exaggerated and false stories, but Katok bag is not everything, "he said." I am sorry and apologize for the contents. I am sorry, sorry, sorry, and sorry for the people in a position of great love. "
Seungri is identified as a key figure in the Gangnam club 'Burning Sun' incident that broke out in February 2019, and was indicted without detention in January last year after nearly a year of police and prosecution investigation. He was indicted on two arrest warrants and was indicted without final detention. He has been on trial for nine months as a soldier in March last year.
Meanwhile, Yoo In-seok, who was tried on the same charges as Seungri, acknowledged all of his charges and was sentenced to three years in prison in a private court in August and August.
