BIGBANG's Seungri Finally Explains Why He Closed His Idol Academy
Former K-pop idol and current military man Seungri has finally explained why he closed his idol academy, a personal business venture that he had been running for several years.
In an interview on the popular South Korean variety show "Weekly Idol," Seungri revealed that he had closed the academy due to a number of factors, including the increasing competition in the K-pop industry, the difficulty of juggling his idol career with his business ventures, and his desire to focus on his military service.
“I started the academy because I wanted to give back to the industry that had given me so much,” Seungri said. “But as the industry became more and more competitive, it became increasingly difficult to run the academy and keep up with the demands of my idol career.”
Seungri also said that he had found it difficult to balance his time between his idol career and his business ventures. “I was constantly torn between my responsibilities to my fans and my responsibilities to my academy,” he said. “In the end, I decided that I needed to focus on one thing, and that was my military service.”
Seungri closed his idol academy in March 2020, just a few months before he enlisted in the military. He is currently serving as a conscripted policeman and is scheduled to be discharged in 2023.
**Conclusion:** Seungri's decision to close his idol academy was a difficult one, but it was ultimately the right decision for him. He is now able to focus on his military service and on his future career, whatever that may be.
