Seungri Cambodia Club Closes Amid Growing Scrutiny of Prince Group’s Criminal Links
A Cambodian club once promoted by former BIGBANG member Seungri has reportedly shut down, following global sanctions imposed on its operator, the China-backed Prince Group, which has been accused of involvement in organized crime.
According to a report by CBS NoCut News on October 21, the club pub Prince Brewing, believed to have been run by the Prince Group, has permanently closed. The property has since been acquired by a new owner preparing for a relaunch under different management.
The venue drew attention after Seungri appeared there last year, taking the microphone and delivering remarks that sparked controversy. At the time, he said,
“When I told my friends I was going to Cambodia, they asked if it wasn’t dangerous or too poor. I told them to shut up and come see for themselves — Cambodia is the most wonderful country in Asia.”
While there is no verified evidence directly linking Seungri to the Prince Group, public skepticism has intensified as the conglomerate faces allegations of being a key criminal organization operating across multiple countries in Asia.
Seungri previously served a one-year-and-six-month prison sentence after being convicted on nine charges related to the 2019 Burning Sun scandal and was released in February 2023.
Recently, rumors surfaced claiming Seungri was expanding into business ventures in China. In response, he told Korean media,
“It’s not true that I’ve left Korea,”
explaining that he currently resides in Seoul and that any overseas travel has been for personal leisure only.
