BigBang’s G-Dragon under police probe for drug use

A few months ago, the leader of South Korean supergroup BIGBANG, G-Dragon, expressed his anticipation for the new album on IG. However, yesterday, news suddenly broke that he was suspected of drug use, causing a huge shock to the fans.

The Incheon Police Department's Drug Crime Investigation Unit filed a case against G-Dragon on the 25th for alleged violation of drug-related laws. The police had previously received information from Mr. A, a room manager at a detained entertainment establishment in Gangnam, insinuating G-Dragon's drug use, and launched an investigation. Reportedly, the Gangnam G Club where Mr. A works is a members-only establishment with a basic table cost of more than 10 million Korean Won. Mr. A also revealed the fact that actor Lee Sun-kyun uses drugs.

As the related news was released, fans hoped that their idol was not using drugs. With earnest feelings, they left messages on G-Dragon's IG account saying "Please say it's not true." "Please say it's not you." "Hope it's a rumor" and other comments.

Especially a few months ago, G-Dragon stated that he was preparing a new album. When shooting the July issue cover for fashion magazine "ELLE," he expressed, "As a singer, G-Dragon has taken a long break, so I am working on it with an interesting and exciting mindset. I am looking forward to it myself. I want to communicate through music. Looking back, my previous songs all deliver my emotions. Music is the best way for me to understand people," revealing his passion for music.

Regarding this, fans of G-Dragon expressed their greater disappointment at the rumors of his marijuana use. "We waited years for his comeback! Is this a sign that he doesn't want to release an album?" "We're waiting for news about the album, not about drugs." "Didn't he say he was going to meet us?" The fans' angry comments continued non-stop.
