G-Dragon Denies 'Drug Use Allegations'... First Police Summons Today

Singer G-Dragon (35, real name Kwon Ji-yong), who is accused of drug use, will appear at the police station on the 6th for his first investigation. The Narcotics Crime Investigation Division of the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency will summon Kwon as a suspect in the afternoon to investigate him on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act.

The police plan to conduct a preliminary reagent test on Kwon to confirm whether he used drugs, then collect urine and hair samples to request a detailed analysis from the National Forensic Service.

They are also expected to investigate the relationship between Kwon and a current doctor who allegedly supplied drugs to him through Ms. A (29, female), a manager at an entertainment establishment in Gangnam, Seoul. The police will also request voluntary submission of Kwon’s mobile phone to check his call records.

Earlier, through his lawyer, Kwon stated, "I have not used drugs," and "I will actively cooperate with the investigation." The legal team said, "We have informed the police that we will voluntarily submit all necessary materials for the investigation to promptly resolve the truth through a swift investigation, and will actively participate in hair and urine tests."

They added, "We ask the media and press to take a responsible stance so that baseless false information does not cause irreparable damage to Kwon, who is a leading K-pop artist representing Korea," and "We will take a strong stance against speculative reports, treating them as false information dissemination and defamation."

Kwon, who gained great popularity as the leader of the idol group 'Big Bang,' was investigated by prosecutors in 2011 on suspicion of marijuana smoking but received a suspended indictment at that time.

Meanwhile, in mid-September, during the process of verifying intelligence that "drugs are being distributed at entertainment bars in Gangnam, Seoul," Ms. A was arrested, and actor Lee Sun-kyun (48), Kwon, and two others were criminally charged. Additionally, five others, including a third-generation chaebol family member, a composer formerly in broadcasting, and an aspiring singer, are under preliminary investigation.
