“I didn’t do drugs, I will appear voluntarily.” G-Dragon strongly denies the charges, complaining of unfairness.

Big Bang's G-Dragon (35, real name Kwon Ji-yong), who was recently booked on suspicion of drug use, strongly denied the charges and said he would appear voluntarily and participate in the investigation.

On the 30th, G-Dragon issued an official statement through his lawyer, saying, “As we have already made clear, Kwon Ji-yong has never taken drugs.” He added, “This morning, I appointed a lawyer and appointed him to the drug crime investigation unit of the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency’s metropolitan investigation unit.” He said, “I submitted a voluntary appearance form along with this.”

Next, "Kwon Ji-yong strongly expressed his intention to appear voluntarily and actively cooperate with the investigation through a letter of intent to appear voluntarily and a letter of opinion from his lawyer, and he voluntarily submitted all materials necessary for the investigation in order to quickly resolve the injustice by quickly uncovering the substantive truth through rapid investigation. He raised his voice, saying, “We have told the police that we will actively participate in hair and urine tests, and we are currently coordinating the schedule for voluntary attendance.”

At the same time, he signaled a strong response to speculative reports related to the drug charges. The lawyer said, "Regarding this case, speculative false reports and YouTube videos have been coming out indiscriminately, such as the recent appointment of a lawyer who was a former Constitutional Court judge and the payment of a large amount of fees. “We will take extreme action against the spread and defamation,” he emphasized.

Previously, G-Dragon claimed, “I have never taken drugs,” and emphasized, “It also has nothing to do with the news reports about ‘violation of the Narcotics Control Act’ that were recently released to the media.” G-Dragon said, "However, I know that many people are concerned, so I will actively cooperate with the investigative agency's investigation and work more diligently."

Previously, on the 25th, the drug crime investigation unit of the Incheon Police Agency caused a stir by revealing that it had booked G-Dragon and was investigating him for violating the law on drug management.
