In a shocking turn of events, the K-Pop world was plunged into turmoil as G-Dragon, one of its most prominent figures, vehemently denied allegations of drug use on October 27.
His declaration, made in response to mounting accusations, has ignited a fervent debate among netizens who are divided over the authenticity of his claims.
G-Dragon Asserts Innocence Amidst Ongoing Drug Scandal in the Industry
In his statement, G-Dragon, whose real name is Kwon Ji-yong, left no room for ambiguity. "This is G-Dragon," he asserted, before categorically denying all allegations of drug use.
"First of all, it is not true that I used drugs. Additionally, I would like to clarify that I have nothing to do with the news reports about violating the Narcotics Act that was released by the media.
However, I know that many people are concerned, so I will actively and fully cooperate with the investigation being conducted by the authorities."
The timing of G-Dragon's proclamation is particularly significant, as it coincides with a tumultuous period for the K-Pop industry, marred by Lee Sun Kyun's drug scandal, which has sent shockwaves across the Korean celebrity landscape.
As a result, G-Dragon's statement carries even greater weight, considering the potential implications for his career and the broader K-Pop community.
Netizens Divided Over G-Dragon's Response to Drug Allegations
While some individuals are choosing to withhold judgment until the investigative process unfolds, others are pointing to recent video clips featuring G-Dragon as potential evidence of drug abuse.
The online discourse surrounding G-Dragon's denial has raised questions about the authenticity of his statement and the underlying motives.
These are some comments from netizens:
- “Even if he is innocent, does this change anything? His fans will just have another grievance.”“I bet he’s again going to say that he didn’t know.”
- "He’s again trying to make the idiots believe him so that he can promote again."
- "But if he’s really innocent, don’t you think he would have denied the allegations in the press as soon as the reports first went out? You know he’s being coached to do all of this, so why are you guys believing him? LOL. Are you guys dumb?"
- "Can’t they tell by just testing his hair? Why go through a full investigation? LOL."
- "Then are you saying the reports were wrong?"
- "You’re saying he was tweaking like that and slurring his speech without using drugs…? That would mean he has other problems."
- "And I’ve never breathed air before."
- "But doesn’t GD not have any contract fees to worry about? Is he an endorsement model?"
- “The truth will come out once they test him. Since he says he is innocent, let’s wait.”
For now, a cloud of uncertainty hangs over G-Dragon's future, and the K-Pop community remains in a state of disarray, uncertain of what the outcome of the investigation will reveal.
