BIGBANG's leader G-Dragon previously voluntarily went to the police station for investigation due to suspicion of marijuana use. However, Korean media revealed that GD had shaved all his hair except for his head. The police are currently considering the possibility that GD is attempting to destroy evidence, like other artists who have been investigated for drug incidents in the past.
After receiving a tip-off in mid-last month that employees of an entertainment hotel in Gangnam, Seoul were taking drugs, the police are conducting an investigation on the possible use of marijuana by G-Dragon and actor Lee Sun Kyun, which was suspected during the verification process.
During this process, G-Dragon voluntarily went to the Incheon Police Department's Drug Crime Investigation Department for his first investigation on the 6th of this month. On that day, G-Dragon underwent a urine collection test, which was determined to be negative in the rapid test results produced on the same day. However, it should be noted that the detection period for drug use through rapid tests is only between 5 to 10 days.
Therefore, in order to conduct a more precise identification, the police attempted to collect GD's hair and body hair, but it was found that he had removed all the hair on his body except for his head hair at the time of the investigation. It is reported that GD's side stated that "he usually has a habit of shaving," denying it was to destroy evidence.
Finally, the police collected GD's hair and nails and sent them to the National Forensic Service. It is said that an analysis of the nails can confirm drug use approximately 5 to 6 months prior.
The reason why full body hair removal is suspected to be a way of destroying evidence is because in the past, some artists used this method to eliminate evidence. In 2019, actors Park Yoo-chun and Ha Il, who were detained and arrested on suspicion of drug use, underwent entire body hair removal and hair dyeing before being investigated by the police, and were eventually confirmed to have used marijuana.
Additionally, after the results of the precise examination from the National Science Investigation Research Institute are released, the police will conduct further investigations and then summon G-Dragon for inquiry again.
