G-Dragon, who received a negative drug test, said, “Who am I?”

Singer G-Dragon (35, real name Kwon Ji-yong), who was suspected of drug use, aroused curiosity with a meaningful post while receiving a negative result in a detailed analysis.

On the 28th, G-Dragon posted on his social account, “La Divina Commedia Written by Dante Alighieri (1308-1320),” along with the song “Outro.” from his solo album released in 2017. He posted a video of himself singing ‘New Song’. At the beginning of the video, G-Dragon asks, “Who am I?” Next, the Chinese character ‘神曲’ appears.

‘Outro. 'Divine Comedy' is a song that samples Daft Punk's 'Veridis quo' with the motif of Dante's epic poem 'Divine Comedy'. ‘I don’t know anyone other than my family’, ‘I became a star in an unremarkable basement’, ‘They say self-luminescence is an occupational disease’, ‘Is it strange that I’m only 30 years old?’, ‘Is it normal?’, ‘What kind of face does it look like?’ ? With lyrics such as 'Get rid of pretense', 'Die, you're using self-hypnosis', 'I'm struggling and begging', and 'What is everyone's crime, everything is contradictory', he talks about the life of a star who has faced the gaze and prejudice surrounding him.

Netizens are speculating that he is revealing his current state of mind through this song. In addition, because the pronunciation of Shingok (神曲), meaning sacred song, and Shingok (新曲), meaning new song, coincidentally is the same, netizens are speculating that G-Dragon is making a comeback by releasing a new song.

G-Dragon, who is under police investigation on suspicion of drug use, recently tested negative in a detailed examination. The ban on leaving the country has also been lifted. The police are leaving open the possibility of guilt and are continuing the investigation further.
