Police Secure Testimony From Escort That Sexual Activity Occurred At Seungri’s Birthday Party In Palawan

Police investigating Seungri and his alleged act of mediating prostitution have secured testimony that sexual activity occurred between a female escort and a man at Seungri’s birthday party in Palawan.

According to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency’s Provincial Special Detective Division, police secured the testimony while investigating some of the women who attended Seungri’s birthday party in the Philippines. The women, however, stated they had voluntarily entered into such acts with the men and that they were not instructed to do so by anyone else.

Police suspect prostitution may have taken place in exchange for the payment of the escorts’ travel expenses, as Seungri was revealed to have paid for them.

Seungri previously denied these allegations, stating, “There is no truth [to the claim] that I’ve mediated prostitution.” The total cost of his 2017 birthday party is estimated to be about 600 million won (approximately $527,385), and Seungri claimed that he paid all of the attendees’ travel expenses and not just those of the women suspected to be involved in prostitution mediation.

Seungri held the birthday party in question in December of 2017 and invited a number of friends and foreign investors. On April 7, it was reported that eight professional escorts had also been invited to the party, and police suspected that this was an instance of prostitution mediation as the women were not Seungri’s acquaintances.

The police suspect that even if there were no direct orders from Seungri to provide sexual services, the act of inviting them to the party after paying for their travel expenses was to naturally create an atmosphere for sexual services to be provided to foreign investors.

Meanwhile, in addition to the Palawan birthday party, police are also investigating allegations of Seungri providing prostitution services for a Japanese investor visiting Korea.
