Police are planning to summon Seungri, a former member of popular K-pop boy band BIGBANG and Yang Hyun-suk, the former CEO of YG Entertainment on charges of overseas gambling.

Seungri and Yang Hyun-suk were booked by the police earlier this month on charges of gambling in a foreign country and securing gambling money in violation of the country’s Foreign Exchange Transaction Act.

Police officials said the two will be called in for a separate interrogation over the charges. The exact dates and time of their summons have, however, not been disclosed.

Having searched the headquarters of YG Entertainment in western Seoul, police are also looking into whether Yang misappropriated corporate funds to finance his overseas gambling.
