It appears that the 25-year-old BIGBANG band member has filed the case without any consultation from the media agency, YG Entertainment. In fact, the company even confirmed that Seungri will handle the case by himself. However, a representative from YG told Herald POP on Tuesday, 5 January, "His lawsuit is a personal issue, but the company will likewise take action with him. We will definitely unveil the true relationship through many different investigations.
The female singer involved is Shin Eun Sung, who began her music career in 2003 and has so far released two albums. Until recently, the singer ran her own talent agency.
