A prominent member of Burning Sun club has been arrested on suspicions of drug use.
This is the first time an arrest has been made since the controversy erupted over Burning Sun. In addition, a ban was imposed on Chinese women suspected of distributing drugs within Burning Sun.
An official of the metropolitan investigation team of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency said on Wednesday that they arrested a Burning Sun employee. The questioning of the suspect before arresting him was held at the Seoul Central District Court on the previous day. The police, who have secured the suspect, plan to gather their investigation into the drug distribution route. "As there are many more areas to investigate, it is difficult to confirm the details of the crime," a police official said.
Police also applied for a suspension of departure for a Chinese woman working as an MD at Burning Sun and recently obtained approval from the Ministry of Justice. Foreigners use the term "exit suspension" rather than "exit ban" when they temporarily restrict their overseas trips due to investigation needs. Police are stepping up their investigation by summoning them as suspects on Friday.
Earlier, a media outlet raised suspicions that B, who worked under the nickname 'Anna' at Burning Sun, sold drugs to VIP customers. However, the police said that B denied all allegations of drug use and distribution through media reports. B is also the person who reported to the police that she was forcibly molested by a 28-year-old man who was involved in the attack. B was questioned at the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul on Wednesday as a plaintiff. Police plan to summon B for further investigation on charges of drug use and distribution.
The CEO of Burning Sun, Lee Min-ho and Han, a sales manager, have also been called into the Police Station for questioning and are currently under investigation for suspicions of drug trafficking and sexual assault.
In other news, club Burning Sun owned by Big Bang's Seungri has been under suspicion of sexual assault, drug use, and police collusion. Police conducted a raid on the Yeoksam Police Station and Burning Sun club yesterday. The club shut down operations on the 17th.

This article is confused and bad written. "A prominent member of Burning Sun club", what this term means? Was them a VIP customer who spend a lot of money and time there and the club stuff treated him accordingly or what? and is specified that is the first arrested but in the next paragraph someone from Police said they arrested a club employee. Between a "prominent member of BS" and an "employee" it's literally a big difference. Btw, that Chinese woman is a customer of the club or was working for the club and is the same person who published a photo with Seungri ? What is news about the CEO and sales manager being called in? I'm sure they already were drugs tested as Seungri was. Does Seungri own the club now? Excuse me but this is a garbage of article that only brings confusion.
