The police clarifies that G-Dragon's case bears no connection to that of 'Parasite' star Lee Sun-kyun, who was reported to be undergoing investigation for alleged drug use just last week
MANILA, Philippines — K-pop boy group BIGBANG’s leader, G-Dragon, has been booked by the police for alleged drug charges, Korean media reported on Wednesday, October 25.
Korean news outlet News1 said that the K-pop artist was booked without detention by the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency for violating the Narcotic Control Act.
The police declined to provide further details as G-Dragon’s case is still in the investigation process.
They also clarified that the BIGBANG member’s case bears no connection to that of Parasite star Lee Sun-kyun, who was reported to be undergoing investigation for alleged drug use just last week.
BIGBANG’s longtime label YG Entertainment refused to comment on the matter, telling Xportsnews, “G-Dragon is currently not an artist under our agency, so it is difficult for us to make an official response,” according to a translation from Soompi.
In 2011, G-Dragon was embroiled in a controversy, where he was thought to have been spotted smoking marijuana at an after-party BIGBANG was hosting in Japan.
Although his urine test came back negative, his hair test posted faint positive results. He later admitted to the charges the same year.
A year later, in 2012, he opened up about the issue on the SBS show Healing Camp.
He claimed that he had been heavily intoxicated when he was offered to take a drag of what he thought was a regular cigarette by a guest at the party. Not wanting to come off as disrespectful, he obliged.
“I’ve never been exposed to marijuana so I don’t even know what it smells like,” the rapper said after being asked if he couldn’t tell the difference between marijuana and tobacco. – Rappler.com
