G-Dragon releases an official statement claiming he did not take drugs

AKP STAFF

G-Dragon has denied all allegations of drug use.

In the early morning of October 27, KST, G-Dragon released an official statement through his attorney, Kim Su Hyun of the law firm K1 Chamber, that he did not use drugs.

The attorney's side sent a press release with the following content: "In response to news that has been indiscriminately spreading in the media recently, which is not based on facts, we would like to convey G-Dragon's position as follows."

G-Dragon said, "I am Kwon Ji Yong. First of all, I have not used drugs. Furthermore, I would like to clarify that the recent news reports about 'violation of drug control laws' have nothing to do with me."

He added, "However, I am aware that many people are concerned, so I will actively cooperate with the investigative agencies and earnestly comply with the investigation."

Earlier on October 25, G-Dragon shocked his fans by being booked for the second time on drug-related charges.

The Incheon Police Drug Crime Investigation Division has stated that G-Dragon is under investigation for violation of drug control laws. Following the investigation of Lee Sun Gyun, they secured G-Dragon's drug-related statement and proceeded with additional investigations.

As a result, G-Dragon has become the subject of a police investigation for drug-related charges for the first time in 12 years since 2011. At that time, G-Dragon had denied using marijuana, claiming that he had mistaken it for a cigarette and had received it from someone who didn't know it was marijuana. He had subsequently received a suspended sentence.

The following is the full official statement from G-Dragon (Kwon Ji Yong):

"Hello.
I am attorney Kim Su Hyun from the law firm K1 Chamber, representing Kwon Ji Yong. Regarding the news that has been indiscriminately spreading in the media recently, which is not based on facts, we would like to convey Kwon Ji Yong's position as follows.

'I am Kwon Ji Yong. First of all, I have not used drugs. Furthermore, I would like to clarify that the recent news reports about 'violation of drug control laws' have nothing to do with me. However, I am aware that many people are concerned, so I will actively cooperate with the investigative agencies and earnestly comply with the investigation.'

Thank you."

It’s good that he released a statement and is cooperating with the investigation. It’s insane that so many people wanted to see him cancelled when he hasn’t been arrested or convicted of a crime. Witch hunts really need to stop

Well he's actively cooperate so if he knows he got nothing to hide so be it. Wait for the investigation to conclude.
