... Creating my own THREAD as additional to that.
The S.K Military Court has reportedly reduced Seungri's sentence to 1.5 years in prison during his final Appeals Trial (S.K Military Court event) ; 2022.01.27
The verdict reducing Seungri's prison sentence in half
(So , 1.5 YEARS in PRISON , reduced from *3 YEARS* in PRISON)
brings shock and anger ; 2022.01.27
As observation , *YOO IN SUK* (YURI HOLDINGS firm = SEUNGRI Business Partner) will do NO PRISON TIME , via *S.K CIVILIAN COURT* decision.
Here , me , NOT seeing much difference between SEUNGRI and YOO IN SUK
in *their* ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES *together* ... But the level
of PRISON DURATION PUNISHMENT for each of them , surely is VERY DIFFERENT.
I expect that SEUNGRI will *accept* this APPEALS COURT decision ...
And PRISON PUNISHMENT of ONE YEAR remaining at this point ...
Via PRISON TIME *already served* (since 2021.09) by SEUNGRI.
