Each K-Pop idol jailed for their involvement in the case has since been released, with several attempting to return to activities. Seungri, who was found guilty of arranging sex trafficking, illicit gambling, and several other charges, has been seen most often.

The event, titled “Burning Sun Surabaya” is described as a K-Pop night party, using phrases like “freedom” and “never-ending love and party.” After the initial announcement, several posts listed those attending the event as guests.

One of these posts includes Seungri, addressing him with the title “best honor.”

While Seungri’s ability to continue his career has been controversial, the naming of the event has drawn even more criticism.

The case was called “Burning Sun” as it was the name of the club that sparked the initial investigation and where many of the crimes were said to take place, including the alleged drugging and rapes of women.
