The following is his statement.

"This is Seungri.

It seems only right that I retire at this point. I have caused too much of a social problem and I decided to retire. Regarding the investigations, I will sincerely undergo them and reveal the truth to all suspicions.

I've been criticized and hated by the public for the past month and a half, and now I'm almost a national traitor. I can't harm those around me to save myself.

I've been grateful to many fans here and abroad for the past 10 years. I think this is where I leave for the honor of Big Bang and YG Entertainment.

I apologize again and thank you".
