Recently, the BBC‘s documentary on the Burning Sun scandal revealed new information and videos, bringing back to light the crimes of those involved.
Of the stars involved, many viewers were shocked to see new details about ex-BIGBANG Seungri‘s involvement, including his actions as recorded on camera.
Amid this, many have recalled the words of past and present BIGBANG members about Seungri. Fans recall that they often made jokes at his expense and even admitted they were angry when he was added to the group at first.
The members were also reported to have warned Seungri about his behavior.
Also the hyungs of BigBang warned Seungri about this MULTIPLE times. They constantly told him that he needs to be mindful of who's in his circle, he needs to stop being so obsessed with status & money BUT he didn’t listen! They were spot on…pic.twitter.com/xW8LngWnJm https://t.co/zusXb5JOdF — 🦕 TY➀➂™ 🗿✖🐦 (SNOOZE) (@PSpiritmonster) May 20, 2024
As these moments resurfaced, many saw them as proof of BIGBANG’s distance from Seungri.
honestly…any older vip will tell you he did give those vibes, he was known as a partier + his members never hung out with him. he ALWAYS voiced out his jealousy towards taeyang and esp GD. hes bitter and used the few fans he had for sympathy over being the least liked member https://t.co/ZyK4tpNIMo — ty (@ribbonscy) May 19, 2024

However, some netizens have not been convinced by these arguments, with other evidence being provided.
For example, when Seungri entered a hiatus related to his sex scandal in 2012, both G-Dragon and Taeyang made statements that expressed hope people would be lenient towards him.
He will get to repent and learn many things from it. This time will become a great help in his life. It wasn’t a good occurrence, but I hope that people will show leniency on him, and wait to see his great change. — G-Dragon
We had a long talk. We punished him a lot, and he is reflecting on his conduct. People sometimes make mistakes, and I think forgiving him is the right thing to do as a brother. — Taeyang
After the scandal broke, there were also instances where fans claimed the members supported “OT5” messages.

Some netizens have not given the other past and present BIGBANG members a “pass,” with some implying they had an idea of what Seungri doing based on their warnings to him.
staying silent when their band member did businesses with wealthy people and investors over women’s bodies is a crime too btw https://t.co/zawtylY92R — 𝑑. (@lunamoon104) May 20, 2024
So you’re saying those men knew about his “shady friends” but they just ignored it and his victims had to wait for women like goo hara to help them find justice???? just proving the point that men will help men get away with anything. https://t.co/AL0Ljx2u6J — r (@epipeny) May 20, 2024
"they constantly told him that he needs to be mindful of who’s in his circle" and u think this is a good thing? They should’ve warned him to STOP and denounce him, instead of telling him to be careful. That’s why I hate kpopies, yall always miss the point. https://t.co/I7EBK81LHi — ♡ 𓂆 | ALL EYES ON RAFAH (@enthvsiasmin) May 20, 2024
