Renowned singer G-Dragon (real name Kwon Ji-yong), aged 35, faced his initial police inquiry amidst allegations of drug use, steadfastly refuting the accusations.
Voluntarily presenting himself at the drug crime investigation office of the Injeon Police Agency within Nonhyeon Police Station in Incheon around 1:20 PM, G-Dragon donned a navy blue suit and blue shirt, with his black hair.
Despite preparations for a significant turnout, only about 100 reporters, including those from Japanese media, were present. Approximately 150 riot police were deployed in anticipation of crowds, but the site remained largely devoid of fans and YouTubers.

On the 22nd of the preceding month, G-Dragon, booked without detention by the Incheon Police Agency's drug crime investigation unit, faced charges related to the control of narcotics, marking his inaugural investigation since becoming a suspect.
Accompanied by his bodyguards, G-Dragon displayed a composed demeanor while fielding questions from reporters, punctuating his responses with unique gestures and occasional smiles.

During the current proceedings, the police conducted a simple reagent test on G-Dragon to determine the presence of medications. Subsequently, they collected his urine and hair, seeking a detailed analysis from the National Institute of Forensic Science.
The investigation also delves into G-Dragon's association with a current doctor alleged to have provided drugs through Mr. A (29), the manager of an entertainment establishment in Gangnam, Seoul.
Presently, the police are scrutinizing approximately 10 individuals, including G-Dragon and Lee Sun-kyun, on suspicion of drug use.
In the prior month, the arrest of Mr. A transpired during an investigation into intelligence indicating drug distribution at an entertainment bar in Gangnam, Seoul, leading to criminal charges against four individuals, including G-Dragon and Lee Sun-kyun.

YG Entertainment, the agency representing him at the time, explained the incident as an unwitting act during a Japan tour, resulting in the suspension of prosecution due to the perceived insubstantiality of the inhalation.
