The police have also confirmed a transaction for a hotel in Seoul for approximately 30 million won (approximately 25,886 dollars) from the mentioned time period, using a business credit card from YG Entertainment.

To this, SEUNGRI's former management agency YG Entertainment simply stated, "Personal expenses not related to SEUNGRI's work were paid by SEUNGRI himself."

According to police, SEUNGRI continues to claim innocence to any account of soliciting sexual escort services, stating that he did provide accommodation for the Japanese investors but that he knew nothing about the prostitution.
