The Narcotics Crime Investigation Division of the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency booked G-Dragon without detention on the 25th on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act. Two days later, on the 27th, G-Dragon denied the allegations of drug use through his lawyer and stated that he would cooperate with the investigation. In 2011, G-Dragon was investigated by the prosecution for marijuana smoking. However, at that time, the prosecution decided to suspend prosecution considering that it was his first offense and the amount detected was below the standard for handling drug offenders.
