Be.A member Yeongkyun has taken to Instagram to address some comments made to him in the past, with outlets reporting that his post seems to be in light of recent controversies surrounding BIGBANG’s Seungri. On March 1, Yeongkyun uploaded the following post on his Instagram:

You told me that you’d tell me something as a senior artist, and then in front of all the staff you said “Aren’t you the same age as me? If you can’t make it even after doing this much, then wouldn’t it be better for you to learn a trade? You need to make money so you can be filial to your parents.” It was given as advice, but it was like you stabbed me with a dagger and left.

Now, in front of the entire nation, it’s all coming back to you many times over.

I’ve always been filial towards my parents. =) It’s possible to be filial without using money. Thank you for teaching me that it’s important for people to be humble. #BurningSun #GHB #Prostitution (original insta post)

Yeongkyun previously participated in the 2017 YG Entertainment survival show “MIXNINE,” on which Seungri appeared as a judge during evaluations.

Seungri has recently been swept up in controversies, including over allegations that he offered sexual favors from prostitutes to investors, which YG Entertainment has denied. This follows recent controversies surrounding the club Burning Sun, after a patron reported an assault incident at the club and concerns were raised about suspicions of drugs being regularly used as part of sexual assault at the establishment. Seungri has been linked to these controversies due to his associations with the club, although he and the CEOs have stated that he was only a consultant for the club and not involved in its management.

Ohhhhhh shit, let us stan!

I wasn't 100% sure if this was about Seungri or not until I saw those hashtags and gasped. Wow, Seungri is such a massive prick to publicly go after someone like that in the guise of advise. Turns out its not just women he can be abusive towards (although mostly women, lbr).

good for him for exposing him. i hope this kicks off a trend

[kyulkyung.livejournal.com]

the comments on his insta post are so.. people still stanning for seungri need to love themselves. a waste of air, all of them.

[neongoldtooth.livejournal.com]

Props! Call them out!

"Aren’t you the same age as me? If you can’t make it even after doing this much, then wouldn’t it be better for you to learn a trade? You need to make money so you can be filial to your parents.”
that is so rude holy crap.
has he forgotten big bang didn't start out the gates popular??? be humble

[pepsi-twist9.livejournal.com]

Especially since he was the one on the chopping block in the making of BB anyhow???

[thebloomroom.livejournal.com]

Lmao and how much of BB’s popularity is due to Seungri? Very little. He could have been cut and nothing would be that different tbh.

[shuumi-miss.livejournal.com]

Seriously. I've been following kpop since 2008 and I always forgot that Seungri was part od Big Bang. It also took me ages to learn his name because he never stood out in any way.

[ashdevilrun23.livejournal.com]

He used to bring it up in interviews all the time idk what he's thinking 🤷🤦

[aures.livejournal.com]

this~

i'm so glad that he stated something like 'thanks for teaching me how to be humble" as in: "thanks for letting me know how to not be/become like you"

[jillyjellly.livejournal.com]

bitch, be humble

my friend was posting about monkey museum (seungri's other club) on ig last year and some of us were thinking of going. glad we didn't end up supporting this pos

[tungatunga.livejournal.com]

Asshole.
I read in comments on reddit that translation of "trade" is not exactly accurate, because it's literally mean physical labour, it's such a shitty thing to tell someone, who can't talk back at you and in public setting. Once again, what an asshole.

[evilcoc0nut.livejournal.com]

That's some kinda arrogance.

[blck-ink.livejournal.com]

good for him for calling him out! seungri was there to judge his performance abilities not to shit on him for his age or on his financial situation. seungri seems to be one of those people that think they can say anything to anyone just because he made it.

[digitalqueen.livejournal.com]

the comments on instagram.........

[rainstormraider.livejournal.com]

VIPs acting like this was good advice really make it obvious that they are just as shitty as the idols they stan.
Yikes @ this entire fanbase rn.
I would feel bad for them but I don’t because they would pay to go to their concerts but would not be caught dead ordering drinks at their clubs.

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

lmao really rich coming from someone who doesn’t have a fraction of the talent as the very person he insulted

[swhyeon1991.livejournal.com]

Yikes @ S**ngri's fans attacking him under the IG comments :/

[shawarmafordays.livejournal.com]

I'm glad he said this shit to Seungri but fuck, that is such harsh advice to hear from someone who's supposed to be your senior. Like wtf.

Seungri sounds like such an asshole in real life.

[veep-throat.livejournal.com]

Omg expose it!!

Can't believe i used to like seungri🤮🤮🤮

[aimajo.livejournal.com]

I thought this guy was on a show where he was supposed to be judged. Seungri said what he said. I mean I would want to prove someone I was wrong by getting my paper instead of just going on social media. That's just me. I hope his life is squeaky clean moving forward or his message will not age well.

[kimbafierce.livejournal.com]

You're gonna hurt yourself doing gemnastic.
He was on a show to be judged on his singing/talent, not whether he is a failure in life cuz he's not on gri's level.

[aimajo.livejournal.com]

Not sure what you mean. But truth sometimes sucks, I guess.

I thought there was another guy on that show who was struggling too because he was "older". I mean Kpop is not an old man's game, so they say. I will say some of these groups that are coming out of military service are knocking it out of the park. I just don't think he needed to say anything.

Let Karma do it's job, which for his case it is. Don't let Karma turn around and look at him.

[kimbafierce.livejournal.com]

Well, it's not Seungri's right to tell someone when to give up their dream, but even if he felt he should say it becuase it's "the truth of K-Pop" he could have done so in a less offensive way. Literally, there are millions of ways to say honest truthes, but he chose to be rude and hurtful.

I'd say people dishing his dirty laundry is the act of Karma.

[tungatunga.livejournal.com]

He didn't told him that on the show as a judge, it was insult wrapped as advice in front of other people backstage.

[aimajo.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the clarification. That sucks if that's the context. He should have just kept walking than.
