Seungri

the carefully managed world of K-pop Earlier this year, shaken by The Scandal .

Seungri , a vocalist in One of The World 's most famous boy bands, Big Bang , was questioned by The Police over allegations that he was the procuring of prostitutes for his business and had embezzled funds in The Burning sun, a nightclub he part-owned in the exclusive Gangnam district of Seoul, South Korea .

Some of his celebrity-K-pop-friends also caught sharing sex videos and bragging in a Chat Room about the rape of women. One after the other, Korean heart more uses mobbed by fans is knocking, and found themselves in the defense of reporters, how you can guard your the way to The Police to face questions from the intake to rape.

But in The Last few months, a shocking picture emerged of Gangnam, where South Korea 's high-Society life, work, and play. The BBC allegations has heard that in its dazzling night clubs, order The Women , drugs have been put to, of mighty men, and raped, and underage girls are sexually exploited for profit.

The BBC has sought The Voices of those Caught Up in Seoul's sex scandal. We have heard from The Club Fans and club employees, as well as of victims, including underage girls who say they were recruited to have sex with paying customers. They all say that the abuse of women in the clubs are ubiquitous, and often Violent .

to pay we were told that elite clients, known as Vips , and the richest Vips were ready, tens of thousands of dollars to women that you Stand to enjoy a night full of drugs and taken to a nearby hotel room, the abuse of the routine recorded on camera.

As club-goer put it to us: "These men are hunters, and you have to pay to be in The Game . So you need the loot. It is foolish to think that you get won T shot in this place. "

A Warning : this article contains The Details of the alleged sexual assaults, which they find upsetting.

We were shown a shocking video, showing the alleged sexual assault. The image in front of me, gives me an idea of the horrors that will follow.

A woman lies naked on a red sofa, the three men stared at her. I Press Play , and The Men approach her. Man laughs as he raises a branch, and he falls. Her body is limp and not responding. The two-minute video is too upsetting to describe in detail.

it seems to have been sexually abused by all three men. Again and again.

The video was allegedly in a common chat-room between the staff - I can't check its contents. But this clip is now part of The Police investigation into the activities of the various clubs in Gangnam.

Gangnam has often been described as the Beverly Hills of Seoul. Flashy and fashion-conscious, it is a symbol of prosperity and status. In The Night , it is the neon Playground for the whole, and those eager for a taste of the celebrity lifestyle.

The cost of a night appears to be almost irrelevant. A wealthy, associated with The Club -goer, told us that he spent up to $17,000 (£13,300) in just One evening. A viral Social Media clip shows A Man spinning on The Dance floor, throwing money in the air like confetti. The decor is loud and conspicuous. The Dress code is, of course, a designer-chic, and for many of The Most famous Nightclubs, obtaining the entry must be on an approved list.

DJ's are celebrities in their own right, performing for crowds of dancers crammed around the record player. To serve beautiful women, thousand dollar bottles of champagne to celebrate, and, apparently, ready to party Until Dawn .

Kim is not your real name used to be a regular on the Gangnam scene. She liked to dance, and she had a couple of favorite DJs. One evening last December, she was invited to a night club for drinks.

Among The Group of Asian business man who claims to have an interest in her and began their portion of whiskey.

"If he poured the drink, I couldn't see him," she says. "He had his back against me. So I drank about three to four glasses. Each time I did so, he gave me water to drink. "

At some point, you claimed, passed out and woke up in a room with The Man down.

"He forced me to lie down, But I didn't want to, so I gave up. As I stood up, he would grab my neck and forces me down on the bed and. I thought someone could die like this by broken the neck.

"I started to cry and scream. Then he got on me and used both hands to block my mouth and began to press down hard. He always said: "relax, relax". "

you told us that you feared for your life. "I could not resist its power, and I was in so much pain that I could die, so I just gave up and lay there like a dead body. "

Kim says that she had been drugged in The Club and was raped. Then she threw up, then asked to Go Home .

"was I Packed to leave my clothes and other things, when he took out his mobile phone to take a photo with his face and my face in it. I said, what you are doing, and 'no, no'. But he grabbed my arm and wouldn't let me go. So I thought it would be best to just this photo, and you can otherwise I could be in some real damage.

"So, he just took the photo and I left. "

Kim went to The Police the next day. They found no trace of drugs in her blood, But prosecutors tell us, that is unusual. The Most common drug used to incapacitate a victim is not thought to be GHB, or Gamma hydroxybutyrate, a powerful sedative, which is undetectable in The Body after a couple of hours.

"luckily, I was awake when it happened, and I can fully describe what I dealt with," she told us.

But She Said that she had found other women online who also believe they were drugged and raped after visiting Gangnam-clubs, But have no clear memory of what happened.

The business man was found and questioned, But he has strongly protested his innocence. In a statement to the BBC, he said that they are not black. He said he did not rape, sexual assault or physical assault on you, and CCTV footage shows her willing to leave The Club with him and walk to The Hotel .

The Investigation is ongoing.

in The Last few months, The Police have questioned nearly 4,000 people, focusing on the allegations of drugs, prostitution, sexual assault, and unauthorized filming of connection with The Club scene, which outraged The Public . The respondents include several male celebrities from the K-pop scene.

to deny that he ever procured a prostitute said, however, that The Scandal is "so big".

The ongoing controversy has led to the resignation of The Head of a major South Korean entertainment Company , Yang Hyun-suk, chief producer of Yg Entertainment , the behind the viral hit Gangnam Style. He denied wrongdoing, But said he could not withstand such "demeaning" allegations of his involvement in a drug scandal and.

The allegations encouraged others to speak. People we talked to have described were an integral part of the Seoul club scene, had a culture of exploitation, where the procurement of women for the sexual satisfaction almost routine for some high net worth clients.

The clubs employ a host known as the "MDs" of the guests to fulfill requests. It is a murky Role - a woman MD told us that it consisted of building relationships with "Pretty Girls ", you in the clubs. They would entice you with the offer of free entry and free drinks.

MDs are A Number of beautiful women, the lists on your call would have. Many would encourage you to drink with your clients and the MDs then about 13-15% of the sale of drinks would. With The Right customers, some of them would make the $20,000 a month. As One MD put it: "To secure high-paying clients, the MDs must deliver to be able to hot girls. "

We have heard repeated allegations that at a certain point, and at The Request of the customer, the impaled women were drinks, rendering them unconscious. But One of The Club 's senior executive told the BBC that the proposal GHB had been sold, or to the clients sold and sexual assault encourages ridiculous it was.

A former host at a well-known Gangnam night club, said to be a Vvip - The Elite guests - was "known for his crazy appetite for unconscious women".

"He ordered me, to bring me, two completely drunk or unconscious women to him," he told us. In particular, he said, the desire of the customer was: "Bring me zombies. "

"Yes," came the answer.
