Lee Seung-seong, a former member of the boy band Bigbang, has resurfaced for the first time in seven years with his career as a "cancer diagnosis tool".
According to foreign media reports: Recently, Li Shengli, a former member of the boy group Bigbang, mentioned his former teammate GD Kwon Zhilong at the celebration in Cambodia, which attracted the attention of the public. As public opinion fermented, someone picked up what he (Lee Shengli) said at a fan meeting with Bigbang seven years ago.
In a post on Theqoo titled "Another Venture Victory Is Planning: Cancer Diagnosis Tools", a video from the 2017 Bigbang fan meeting was included in the post. In the video, the members were asked to guess what kind of business venture Shengli was planning, and after the members did not give the correct answer, Shengli revealed that it was "a cancer diagnosis tool".
Li then began to talk about his business plan for "cancer diagnosis kits", saying that traditional methods include X-rays and blood tests, but these methods are not only expensive but also time-consuming. So, he plans to make the process easier by developing a kit that can analyze urine to diagnose cancer.
When Lee Seung Seung was going to continue to elaborate on his business plan, member Daesung (Kang Dae-sheng) suggested that it could be shared on social media, and Kwon Ji-ryong also reminded that it was too risky to say this now, and that it should be tested and confirmed before making it public.
Despite the "warnings" from members, Li Shengli is still defending his business plan, saying that the product will be released, clinical trials have been completed, and the prototype will be available in March. At the same time, he also urged fans to search for information on the portal and advocated that fans should also try it for themselves.
Netizens who watched the video also expressed their opinions and opinions, some surprised by the discussion at the fan meeting, others compared Li Shengli to Elizabeth Holmes, who founded Theranos, who later became known as "Silicon Valley's biggest liar" and was convicted in November 2022 of falsely claiming to be able to diagnose multiple diseases with just a few drops of blood.
Comments from some netizens:
- I finally understood the reason why YG is a "pharmaceutical factory", and in addition to the fact that there are many drug addicts, there is also this kind of commercial scam, haha;
- Why talk about this kind of thing on FM?
- Kwon Ji-ryong should be sad;
- What is even more overwhelming than this happening is that such remarks did not cause controversy at the time, is it because there is no lower limit to the public's tolerance for YG artists?
- YG不愧是"药厂"啊;
- Can he stop showing up again?
……
What do you think?
On the other hand, the entertainment industry did not learn that Lee Seung-sang, who debuted as a member of Bigbang in 2006, caused controversy in 2019 because of the Burning Sun nightclub incident, and was later prosecuted for 9 crimes, including sexual entertainment, embezzlement, sex trafficking, and violation of foreign exchange law, and was finally convicted and sentenced to 1 year and 6 months in prison. In February 2023, Li Shengli was released from prison after completing his sentence. Recently, at an event in Cambodia, he praised "Cambodia is the best country in Asia" and said that he would bring Kwon Zhilong to Cambodia, which attracted attention.
