BIGBANG's Seungri, whose real name is Lee Seung-Hyun, has come under criticism after local fans noticed his unprofessional behavior on a public train in China. Recently, a photo of the singer-songwriter was taken while he was sleeping on a high-speed train with his bare foot on the window.
On July 11, Monday, a Chinese media outlet Sina Entertainment reported that the said photograph was taken when Seungri was commuting from Xuzhou to Shanghai, China, to film a local television program. The publication notes, "Many are criticizing him for putting his bare foot on the train window."
There is also another picture circulating on the web, showing Seungri and the train's manager searching for his mobile phone that slipped into a hole between the seats. Some Chinese fans called his behavior uncivilized, while others expressed understanding and sympathy.
It is said that Seungri was seemingly drained from the recent performance of "Made V.I.P Tour" at the Xuzhou Olympic Sports Center on July 10, Sunday. The recent event marks BIGBANG's second time in China.
In early March, the five-member boy group held a fan meeting tour in the said country and has successfully drawn more than 182,000 local fans. To celebrate the group's 10th anniversary, BIGBANG recently announced that they will hold a series of special concert at Yanmar Stadium Nagai in Osaka, Japan from July 29 until 31.
The five-member group, G-Dragon, T.O.P, Seungri, Taeyang, and Daesung, will also hold a special 10th-anniversary concert at Seoul World Cup Stadium under the name "O.TO.10." The said special concert is scheduled to take place on Aug. 20.
Much to the delight of fans, BIGBANG will also hold an exhibition that will show the past, present, and future of the group, including their photos, albums, costumes, interviews, videos, concert stages and music video sets. The exhibition will be hosted from Aug. 5 to Oct. 30 at S-FACTORY located in Seongsu-dong, Seongdong-gu, Seoul.
