Regarding the allegations related to prostitution (prostitution mediation and prostitution for self), Seungri's lawyer stated that Seungri had no reason to mediate prostitution and that he didn't recall having sexual intercourse with the woman in question, who he thought was just a person who wanted to meet him.

Regarding the charge of distributing obscene material, Seungri's defense stated that he only shared with friends a photo that was not taken by him, but was sent to him from an entertainment bar.

For the charge of habitual gambling, Seungri's lawyer answered that Seungri didn't gamble as a habit, and that he visited the U.S. for work and not purposely for gambling. Habitual gambling is illegal but not gambling for momentary pleasure.

The charge of embezzlement is divided in two different charges, for which Seungri's side declared that Seungri had no motive or intent to commit embezzlement.{{Cite web|date=December 8, 2019|title=Why is everyone talking about Seungri again?|url=https://businessmirror.com.ph/2019/12/08/why-is-everyone-talking-about-seungri-again/|access-date=April 27, 2021|website=BusinessMirror|language=en-US|archive-date=April 30, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210430084221/https://businessmirror.com.ph/2019/12/08/why-is-everyone-talking-about-seungri-again/|url-status=live}} Seungri's charges also include Violation of Food Sanitation Act (for inappropriately declaring Monkey Museum as a restaurant instead of an entertainment establishment).

On January 14 the prosecution added the charge of eliciting violence against Seungri. In 2015, a drunk customer in a bar entered into the private room of Seungri and his acquaintances: the prosecution claimed that after an argument, Seungri called Yoo In-Seok who involved gang members into the argument to threaten the man. The prosecution claimed Seungri conspired with Yoo thus charging him as instigating co-conspirator.{{Cite web|last=Law|first=Sabah S. Themis, B. S. of Political Science, J.

The trial also encountered an issue related to confirmation bias: on March 25, 2021, after the 13th hearing for Seungri's trial, a witness claimed that the police had written up a statement against Seungri that he actually never made. Prosecution's other witnesses also claimed that the investigators put pressure on them in giving false testimonies, probably due to the pressure from media and public to find Seungri guilty. Many of the witnesses also claimed that the prosecution slightly changed their answers or seemed to have designed questioning with the target of arriving at Seungri's name.{{Cite web|script-title=ko:유흥업소 여성 "승리 차 탄 적 없다"...조서 부인한 증인들[MK현장]|url=https://n.news.naver.com/mnews/article/009/0004769639?sid=102|access-date=April 27, 2021|website=Naver News|language=ko|archive-date=April 30, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210430082710/https://n.news.naver.com/mnews/article/009/0004769639?sid=102|url-status=live}}{{Full citation needed|date=December 2024|reason=See WP:KO/RS#NA; should specify underlying publication used by news aggregator.}}{{Cite web|date=April 16, 2021|title=Seungri's 13th case hearing reveals confirmation bias{{!}} BMPlus|url=https://businessmirror.com.ph/2021/04/16/seungris-13th-case-hearing-reveals-confirmation-bias-2/|access-date=April 27, 2021|website=BusinessMirror|language=en-US|archive-date=August 7, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220807203704/https://businessmirror.com.ph/2021/04/16/seungris-13th-case-hearing-reveals-confirmation-bias-2/|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/art/2021/07/732_311521.html|title=Disgraced K-pop star Seungri faces 5 years in prison for sex, gambling scandal|date=July 2, 2021|publisher=The Korea Times|access-date=July 19, 2021|archive-date=August 15, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220815055228/https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/art/2021/07/732_311521.html|url-status=live}}
