G-dragon responds to his alleged drug use reports

Recently, there has been an increasing number of cases involving Korean artists in drug affairs. Not only has prominent actor Lee Sun-kyun been investigated by the police, on the 25th, a new name was added to the list - BIGBANG member G-Dragon (GD), whose real name is Kwon Ji-yong, has been indicted without detention by the police for violating the narcotics control law.

After a day of silence, GD issued an official stance on 27th through his legal representative. GD insists that he has not used illegal drugs and emphasizes that he is completely unrelated to the recent media reports violating drug laws.

Then, GD said, "However, I understand that many people are concerned, and I will wholeheartedly cooperate with the police investigation and be more transparent in my approach," asserting his innocence regarding the incident.

Netizens are somewhat skeptical about GD's assertion that he has not used illegal drugs. They also commented, "Do you really think the public is so naive to believe that you thought marijuana was a cigarette?"

"Park Yoochun and Yoo Ah-in both initially denied... Don't become the second Yoo Ah-in; be honest."

"What? If you're not intoxicated, consider getting a medical check-up."

"Don't you think he has changed, just as Park Yoochun did?"

At the same time, some netizens believe, "We will know the truth once the investigation results are out, let's wait and see," "There probably really is no drug use now, otherwise they wouldn't openly admit that they aren't using," "I hope there really isn't any," "If there was no drug use, there might be some problems with the body." There have been different opinions.

Additionally, GD was arrested for smoking marijuana in a Japanese nightclub in 2011. At the time, he admitted that he was so drunk he couldn't differentiate between marijuana and tobacco, causing him to inhale it by mistake. In the end, as he was considered a first-time offender and didn't commit the offense deliberately, the prosecutors decided not to charge him.
