Original Copy Of Messages Tied To Seungri Procured By The Anti-Corruption And Civil Rights Commission

Mar 4, 2019

by D. S.kim

New reports have been released regarding the text messages tied to various allegations surrounding BIGBANG’s Seungri.

On March 4, a source from the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency initially stated, “We have yet to secure an original copy of the [KakaoTalk] messages. We are contacting people [who are tied to the messages] in order to confirm [the existence of the original copy].” The police continued, “Not only have we not confirmed its existence, but we also received a testimony that such messages do not exist.”

In contrast to the statement from the police, SBS funE exclusively reported that the original copy of the text messages has been secured by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission.

According to the report, the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission confirmed that on February 22, a whistleblower submitted text messages that contain the evidence of Seungri lobbying to foreign investors by ordering sexual escort services. SBS funE reported that these messages were exchanged between Seungri, CEO Yoo of Yuri Holdings, and various celebrities.

SBS funE also interviewed a person who is responsible for reporting the messages to the organization. The source revealed, “The KakaoTalk messages suggested that there was a deep connection with the police, so I reported it to the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission instead.”

In response, the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission stated that they will inspect the materials internally before transferring them to the police or the prosecution for further investigation. The commission will also consider directly handing over the materials to the prosecution if the connection to the police is found to be deeper than expected.

The report further revealed that the Seoul Police Department became aware of the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission’s procurement of the original copy of text messages on March 1, and the police formally requested for the organization to cooperate with them regarding the documents on March 4.

The police shared in a new following statement that the messages will be forwarded to the police depending on internal discussion within the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission. According to the police, the whistleblower submitted the documents to the commission’s office in Seoul, and they are now being transferred to a different office in Sejong. The police commented, “We visited the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission’s office in Seoul and were told that the materials are currently in the mail [to the Sejong office].”

So basically, the "whistleblower" submitted these messages to the Anti-Corruption Commission because they don't trust the police. It also seems like the police were fully aware that the messages were submitted to the ACRC, but tried to bring negative affiliation to the reporter to discredit them.

What the fuck is this hot ass mess...?

 

[taemkitten]

Hm....so does that mean that the person that had the original copies didn't want to turn them over to the police, because the police had something to keep covered up?

There are more twists and turns in this whole tiered scandal than curly fries from Arby's

I think the person knew the police were being paid off to keep quiet about the whole thing so they chose to go to next level authority. I mean it was just revealed that the Burning Sun CEOs was pumping a whole lot of money to some well connected police dude so I'm gonna assume that the police are corrupt as f in Korea.

One journalist exposing both Seungri and the Seoul Police Department simultaneously

I pray that she has a lot of protection around her right now though... Because you can't trust these dodgy fuckers that she's exposing.

Hopefully the ACRC is giving her some govt level protection.

Source: SBS funE via Nate

1. [+2,934, -13] The initial reporter of the Katalk conversations said, "There are a great number of conversations that are suspected to involve police bribery, which is why I submitted them to the commission and not the police." Damn.

2. [+2,326, -15] He needs to be jailed for investigation so that he can't run away to the army

3. [+186, -0] So the Katalks were sent to the commission and not the police ㅋㅋ and the police are putting out articles like the Katalks don't even exist just because they never received them ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+115, -0] Meanwhile Seungri hired a police-turned-lawyer.. he's a mess..

5. [+106, -0] ㅎㅎㅎㅎ I knew there was a reason she didn't pass them on to the police.. ㅎㅎㅎ it has finally begun!!

6. [+96, -1] The journalist is amazing... she can't trust the police so she submits it to the commission and prosecution ㅋㅋㅋ There's nobody nowadays who actually trusts the police anyway.

7. [+80, -2] They knew that if they passed it to the police, their identity would be outed and that there's a chance the evidence could be destroyed, which is why they went with the commission... They're so smart. The police are probably feeling the fire under their butts... What a way to kill your own image as the police.

8. [+77, -0] Undeniable now

9. [+70, -0] Do you think the police told the public that the Katalks don't exist because of the alleged conversations in there that allude to police bribery? ?

10. [+56, -0] This case has reached the commission ㅋㅋㅋ farewell, Seungri ㅋ

1. [+323, -0] I think the police need to think long and hard why the Katalks were submitted to the commission and not them

2. [+249, -1] The commission should just release the Katalks, the public has a right to know

3. [+129, -0] I bet all the celebrities who had their names mentioned in the converations are feeling scared right now ㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+30, -0] Can't even trust the police anymore

5. [+22, -0] The police should feel embarrassed that they're even having to beg the commission for it right now, tsk tsk

1. [+2,414, -22] Why is it that the police in our country never do anything. This is embarrassing.

2. [+1,801, -28] Please pass the Katalks to prosecution, not the police. No point in passing it to people who are obviously involved with them. What are they going to do with it? Destroy evidence?

3. [+1,292, -19] How dare the police demand respect with the way they're acting right now? How much power did they abuse by taking bribery under the table to protect thugs...?

4. [+1,117, -19] Just how badly did she not trust the police that she went all the way to the commission instead

5. [+728, -16] The truth will always be revealed. Farewell, Seungri and YG ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ off to jail you go~~ hopefully this is just one of many dominoes that Seungri set off.

6. [+185, -0] It's not that the Katalks never existed, it's that they were passed to the commission because nobody could trust the police ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It has been months since the scandal even first began with police bribery at the centerpoint and yet there have still been no investigations at all about it. Instead, the police are wasting time on investigating staff members who aren't even related to the case when the public is most interested in the relationship between the police and the club. What's even funnier is that there hasn't even been an investigation on the Gangnam police. They're totally covering up their own mess ㅋㅋ how can anyone trust them?? The Gangnam police need to be disbanded.

7. [+151, -1] So many things have transpired and yet the police never started investigations on anything. All they did so far was demand the journalist to give them original copies of the Katalk. Shouldn't they have started by confiscating Seungri's cellphone?

8. [+133, -0] So shocking that the police have been demoted to basically another crime organization that can't be trusted

9. [+84, -1] The police probably never imagined even in their dreams that the Katalks would be passed to the commission ㅋㅋ

10. [+82, -0] If the police want the Katalk so bad, they can go recover the conversations from Seungri's or Lee Mun Ho's account. Katalk will recover them for you upon request. The fact that the police never did that means they're not even interested in the conversations. The only reason they want the Katalks now is to figure out who ratted on them.

Article: Singer Seungri hires police-turned-lawyer... full force action

Source: News 1 via Nate

1. [+2,909, -30] He has no shame... I guess lawyers will defend anyone who has enough money... I vow to never live an embarrassing life like his.

2. [+2,824, -21] Police-turned ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ he's really trying to bury this at any cost

3. [+103, -1] YG threatened to sue the journalist with the Katalks at first but when the journalist rebuttled saying she has
additional reports left, they suddenly went quiet, which shows that there's a high chance that her Katalks are telling the truth.

4. [+71, -1] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Hopeless

5. [+66, -2] So he still has more to say

6. [+65, -2] He'll start with a police-turned-lawyer, then a prosecutor-turned-lawyer, then what next? a judge-turned-lawyer?

7. [+58, -2] Ah... I seriously, seriously, honestly hate him so, so much. I never want to see his face on TV again.

8. [+57, -0] Former police ㅋㅋㅋ I can already tell what this guy's like

9. [+36, -0] If Seungri's willing to spend 600 million won on a birthday party, imagine how much he's paying his lawyer. Probably beyond imagination.

10. [+36, -0] A police-turned-lawyer... well obviously the lawyer has police connections then so it's beneficial to Seungri's case.

1. [+2,164, -10] Seungri, the Burning Sun staff, they're all bad... but the really bad guys in this story are the police. They should be protecting the public but they aren't even helping catch the bad guys. Who are we supposed to trust now...

2. [+1,071, -15] Awkward situation for the police. The answer's obviously all there now. The journalist has evidence of it. And they have to investigate it, but...

3. [+213, -0] Amazing of the journalist~! Despite all the threats and opposition, she didn't back down~!!!

4. [+189, -1] When YG threatened to sue the journalist, she said she would comply with all investigations and even said she had additional reports to make after the summit was over. She then reported today's news about the conversation being reported to the commission ㅋㅋ Why would she make up something that isn't there? Especially up against a big agency.

5. [+159, -1] This is probably the dirtiest, most evil scandal out of anything in the entertainment industry, no???

Was just gonna post a thread how Seungri has hired a POLICE TURNED LAWYER... He's really trying to bury this at all cost goddamn. Honestly, he's so fucking shameless. If he wasn't a celebrity with power, he would've been jailed already until the investigation concluded.

If he had any honour or integrity left then he would leave YG. His actions are affecting others under that label and it isn't fair to any of them!

I am so fucking done with him and I won't feel any kind of sympathy for him if he is jailed and this ends his career. He's only scum in my eyes now.

[Moonbinlove]

Honestly this is gonna get far worse before it gets better I hope the reporter who sent the original texts to the commissioner is in safe hands
Also I’m not for Seungri but this is really falling back on him

 

[Administrator2]

I'm just really impressed that the actual demography of the comments are people in their 30s and 40s.

 

[SeulPika]

I'm just waiting to see how much more fucked it can get

Just wait till the scumbag runs away to the army...

 

[Lighterxx]

i know police in korea is fucked up since majority see toilet hidden cams as "fun", but damn

 

[Darkyoda47]

I'm just really impressed that the actual demography of the comments are people in their 30s and 40s.

I'm sure it's because this is some national level crisis with the police being outed as corrupt. Not to mention, prostitution is illegal and seen as the highest form of sin in Korea, even if they have like a 100 red light areas lol. I'm pretty sure TOP's, GD's and Daesang's scandals were all discussed by people over 20 as well.

 

[Darkyoda47]

Just wait till the scumbag runs away to the army...

Speaking of the army, I wonder if GD is still on "vacation" :llama_eyes:

I guess it is the main news now. The accusations he is dealing with are severe and KaTalks given to the ACRC aren't exactly helping him, lol.

 

[QueenB]

Kind of wondering if other idols are going to be involved as well as CEO's and the like....

Obviously there's connection to the police but it seems there's a lot of shit going down

Have the police even officially announced an investigation on him?
