Women were allegedly given date rape drugs at a club in Seoul linked to K-pop star Seungri, a member of boy band BigBang, so their VIP customers can sexual assault them, says a member of the club.
A man who claims to be a VIP member of the club said staff at the Burning Sun nightclub regularly texted rich customers to tell them they had women “ready” for them, according to South Korean broadcaster MBC.
He said that on one occasion, a staff member sent him a picture of a naked, unconscious woman telling him that he could take advantage of her.
“They talk like they are talking about food or something. Staff there say they also have sex with women after drugging them,” he said.
It is suspected that the date rape drug, gamma-hydroxyButyrate (GHB) is being frequently administered at the club. The drug acts as a psychoactive neurotransmitter that induces intoxication, mild euphoria and grogginess, and causes memory loss.
