Big Bang Taeyang indirectly mentioned the difficulties he faced due to the scandal involving former member Seungri.
At a music listening party recently held to mark the release of his new album, Taeyang said: “There seemed to be a number of situations that were not easy to overcome. I can’t explain it to you in detail, but I was in the army at the time and it was very difficult for me to communicate with the outside world. I felt very frustrated and exhausted.”

Seungri was later imprisoned for a year and six months on a total of nine counts, including prostitution, organizing prostitution, embezzlement, habitual gambling, violating the foreign exchange transaction law, violating the food hygiene law, etc. He was released from prison in early February this year .
