BigBang's Seungri, who is embroiled in a controversy over an assault at a club linked to him, is facing calls for refunds on his concerts, reports said Friday.

Network television MBC reported on its news website that some tickets were being offered for resale at prices below the original.

A check at a ticket sale site showed nearly 100 tickets remained unsold for both concerts slated for next weekend in Seoul.

Over 100 tickets were still available for his Singapore concert on Feb. 23.

He has two concerts in Osaka, Japan, in March.

These concerts are the last before Seungri starts mandatory military service, so fans were competing to get hold of tickets. But the recent assault case involving staffers at a club where Seungri worked as an executive has cooled their reaction.

The Burning Sun club is widely known as Seungri club.

Seungri claimed that his involvement was limited to PR work but the scandal has grown following allegations that some VIP customers used drugs and were engaged in sexual violence.
