Seungri already married to pregnant girlfriend: report

Former BIGBANG member Seungri, who is reportedly expecting his first child, has already legally married his pregnant girlfriend, according to a report. Ilgan Sports reported Tuesday that Seungri and his wife, who is pregnant, have registered their marriage and are legally married. The report came a day after Gray News reported that Seungri's girlfriend, who is in her 20s, is expecting a baby boy in January next year.

The news that Seungri is set to become a father drew public attention, with the revelation that the couple had already registered their marriage emerging later. As news of the expected birth broke before any announcement of marriage, speculation arose that the couple had conceived before marriage.

Seungri denied the speculation, saying he was not considering holding a wedding ceremony at this time. The couple is reportedly preparing for the birth. The news of Seungri's marriage and impending fatherhood has drawn additional attention as he recently faced a complaint over alleged special assault.

In August, Seungri was accused of threatening a man with a soju bottle and assaulti

CurrentBody Series 3 review: a fully customisable LED mask that helps exactly where you need it

With six light wavelengths and almost endless ways to combine them, CurrentBody’s latest sets a new standard for red light therapy devices• The best LED face masksCurrentBody’s LED masks have long been my favourite. They’re comfortable, simple to use and effective. My previous favourite, the now-discontinued CurrentBody Multi Light Therapy LED mask, offered five treatments that used different light wavelengths to address multiple skin concerns.

The company’s latest mask, the new Series 3, has the most detailed customisable treatments I’ve ever seen.This isn’t the first LED mask I’ve tried that allows its user to select different treatments for different areas of the face. The Lustre Renew Pro Facewear allows you to choose from two treatments across four different zones, with 16 possible combinations.

The Series 3 takes this much further, allowing you to choose between six light wavelengths across 125 light points on the mask. If you stick to one wavelength per light point, that’s 6125 combinations available. That number is longer than I can reasonably comprehend, so allow me to call its level of customisation endless.
