Article: Big Bang Seungri releases apology letter on 'Burning Sun' scandal
Source: Top Star News via Nate
1. [+782, -32] Then release the CCTV footage from inside please ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
2. [+756, -60] But you said so yourself that you run your businesses? How can you change what you said and just call yourself a simple promotional ambassador now? So this was a scam from the start? As if people aren't already scrutinizing you for being under YG, this is amazing. Just go run off to the army already and don't ever crawl back on TV. I'm once again amazed at your lies.
3. [+658, -40] You're a man, live your life more honestly. How can you act like such a tryhard but be a thug behind it all?
4. [+84, -10] So this was the finalized version by his lawyers?
5. [+69, -5] The point is what relationship the club and the police have and how deeply involved Seungri was in it. That's what the public wants to know!!
6. [+66, -9] "Boo, I didn't know, I'm going to enlist in the army, you're still going to love me when I get back, right??"
7. [+60, -11] Why did it take so long to even write this?
8. [+52, -2] You said on 'I Live Alone' that the club was yours? That you're not like other celebrities who let businesses use their names but don't run it, you said that you run it yourself.. you thug, live an honest life
9. [+50, -3] Even if you were just a promotional name for the club, you still promoted it so you should be taking responsibility for it
10. [+46, -1] Just another obvious excuse written by his lawyer

Article: Seungri, "I do NOT run Burning Sun, I'm just a promotional director... I was shocked by the assault video"
Source: Star News via Nate
1. [+338, -12] He doesn't seem to understand what the issue here is. What's important is what the police had to do with both the club and Seungri and what other powers there were behind the scenes that were bribed.
2. [+259, -20] Just another thuggish excuse
3. [+236, -24] His face just looks like a thug scammer
4. [+23, -1] "Shock"? As if. That video shows that violence of that level was completely the norm in the club which means you should've known. You're the one who bragged on 'I Live Alone' that you're the CEO but I guess everything that comes out of your life is a lie now. What's the point of being so rich when you live a life that even you're embarrassed of?
5. [+22, -4] Burning Sun's ex-employee already said that you were aware of the media reporting on the place because the security guards were known for assaulting people
6. [+21, -9] There's no way Seungri had no idea, it's just that the media is only picking it up
7. [+17, -1] So he was acting like the CEO all along but now that there's a real problem, he claims he only let the club use his name for promotion. What is wrong with this group's members?
8. [+12, -0] He's a big fool who thinks the public is foolish enough to believe him
9. [+10, -0] Don't lie... if this was all true, you would've said so from the start. Instead, you stayed quiet until the end and hid behind the backs of others to make excuses and defend yourself for you.
10. [+10, -0] Took all this time to match up their stories for this to be the apology ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ a round of applause for you

Article: Female victim of sexual harassment at Burning Sun speaks up, "Kim-ssi is fooling the entire nation"
Source: OSEN via Naver
1. [+11,125, -1,324] Seems like the club bought the woman out... If Kim-ssi actually started this whole thing on his own, he'd be insane to release his identity to the public and drag the issue this far. There's a post on his Instagram that he wrote exactly after he was assaulted in great detail and there's even CCTV confirming his story. There's another article that talks about a huge figure in the night club scene that seems to be controlling the media towards a different direction.
2. [+6,941, -241] I had no idea that the club's own director would come out and drag you out if you went around touching girls at clubs ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
3. [+6,275, -204] I saw the CCTV that Burning Sun submitted and there are so many suspicious spots... the female victim's clothes kept changing this way and that and didn't the club say their CCTV was broken in the first place? And yet they have all these scenes that show them in a positive light? They need to re-release this footage with the time and date showing on all of them.
4. [+3,878, -183] OSEN is at it again. Kim-ssi's story is for the police to investigate and reveal. The public is not like this because they believe Kim but because they are waiting for Seungri to put out a statement on what actually has been happening inside the club.
5. [+2,293, -93] All OSEN journalists ever write about is this...
6. [+1,109, -16] Sure, let's say Kim sexually harassed the woman, then he can be punished for it, which still leaves the issues of police bribery and drugs left to investigate.
7. [+1,011, -50] The woman was paid off
8. [+905, -14] I didn't know that the club's own director came out and personally beat you up if he found men touching girls ^^.. If this is true, then the safest club in the world has to be Burning Sun ^_^ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ stop trying to rile the public up with lies ㅋㅋㅋㅋ that makes absolutely no logical sense ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ sigh
9. [+874, -19] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ They just don't get it ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ The public does not care at all whether Kim-ssi sexually harassed the woman or not. What people are taking problem with is the fact that if he actually did sexually harass her, the police could've just taken him in for investigation but the club's own director came out and assaulted him like a sack and the way the police handled this case at all. People aren't believing what Kim's saying, we're refusing to believe what the club and the police are saying.
10. [+857, -16] She must really think our country is a bunch of fools ㅎ

Article: Burning Sun, female victim of sexual assault claims complete opposite opinion, "Kim-ssi is fooling the country"
Source: Star News via Naver
1. [+4,320, -582] How much was she paid off for this false testimony...
2. [+3,576, -144] The club is trying to cut every tail they can... They're really intent on burying this entire scandal as a simple sexual harassment scandal, aren't they? They haven't reported a thing on the drugs and police bribery yet.
3. [+1,738, -87] How is Seungri any different from Lee Hee Jin? He went around on every TV show talking about how manages his own businesses like he's a hotshot CEO but now that there's a problem, he claims he was just a name on the board
4. [+1,437, -45] Wow, Naver hasn't been posting any of the other articles, only this
5. [+472, -6] All they have to do is release the CCTV and yet all they're doing is releasing statements by the police, Yang Hyun Suk, Seungri's little sister, his father... His little sister even posted an edited video. Post the full thing and leave it to us to judge~ What the public wants is an explanation on the date rape drugs and the police bribery that went on in the club. Don't distract from the issue with this woman's testimony;;
6. [+446, -4] For the club's own director to make a personal appearance and drag a man out and assault him just for touching a woman... that would make Burning Sun the safest club in the world ㅋㅋ
7. [+418, -12] Wow.. it's clear she was paid to make this false testimony. This is practically straight out of a movie.
8. [+361, -2] The video that Seungri's side has been posting has not one proper piece of evidence in it. If what this woman is saying is true, then Kim-ssi will be jailed. If not, then we have to protect him.
9. [+378, -32] Why am I having a hard time believing her?
