YTN released an exclusive report regarding how the chatroom with Seungri discussing sexual escort services was leaked.

According to their report, the chatroom messages were obtained from a fellow celebrity’s phone.

The report explained that a celebrity, who is also in the same chatroom, sent in his cellphone to get repaired. The full story was discovered through this cellphone and this is how the whistleblowing and the subsequent investigations began.

Following initial reports regarding suspicions of setting up sexual escort services for overseas investors, the police began their investigations and the prosecution issued a search and seizure warrant to investigate Club Arena. It was also recently revealed that illegal hidden camera footage of sexual acts were shared.

The police have called in the other celebrities in the chatroom as witnesses. After these revelations, Seungri announced his retirement in an Instagram post. His military enlistment is currently scheduled to take place on March 25.
