Display MoreSo every body knows Garo Sero institute and it's members have a very shady reputation for defamation and spreading wild accusations and have been sued multiple times for defamation and even indicted for extortion and blackmail and one of them was arrested last year for defamation against their president:

so while looking into their history I just realized something:
Kim Yongho has a long history with seungri and YG ent - I didn't realize before now that he is the same journalist that seungri sued and won a defamation suit against in 2016.
BIGBANG’s Seungri Wins Case Against Reporter Who Claimed He Was Drunk Driving
on most eng sites he is only referred to as Mr. Kim or mr. K but if you go to KR sites or read comments from that time - it's actually kim yongho:

YGE also won a defamation case against mr. K/Kim yongho in apr 2016:

he is also apparently a well known YG anti and was with KBS during the time that KBS had a feud with YGE (and wrote a lot of negative articles about park bom and daesung since then - this link is about KBS/YG beef but Kim yongho is also mentioned):

btw this (kim yongho) is also the same guy that started the rumour (proven to be false) very early into the burning sun scandal that the informer was stabbed and was in hiding:

It was confirmed on the 11th that the Korean Bar Association issued a 10 million won fine for violating the duty to maintain dignity to lawyer Kang Yong-seok last month.
In April 2019, lawyer Kang exposed the private life of Mr. A, a famous internet clothing shopping mall operator, on the YouTube channel Garo Sero Institute. The Bar Association judged this as 'reckless remarks that were not confirmed to be true in other people's private lives' and found that the lawyer violated the lawyer's duty to maintain dignity.
Previously, lawyer Kang was also found guilty in a criminal trial in 2015 and was given a disciplinary action of 10 million won in fines from the Bar Association.

btw this is unrelated to sr and I don't really expect anything to come out of this, but han seo hee had her 1st hearing today for her alleged drug use last year.

she denied the charge - her 2nd hearing is supposed to be on 23rd of next month.
wtf, Yoo In seok is the central figure in almost every charge against seungri (it seems most of the charges seungri is accused of is actually yoo inseok's doing), every witness said they got orders from Yoo In seok but the court just moves on without his attendance and accepts his written testimony (without any chance for cross-questioning by prosecution and defense) - meanwhile the court went as far as to suggest a forcible attendance of jung joonyoung - who was just a passing witness to an additional charge (inciting assault).
(I suppose the only hope is that seungri's lawyer agreed to this, he must know better)

his trial is still ongoing for all charges - according to news the courts hopes to wrap it up by june.
there is barely any news coverage of hearings these days - maybe they didn't like what they kept hearing in court.
here is a thread of seungri's hearings:
today was seungri's 18th hearing and there was no news at all. zero coverage.
(I also think the same)
