'Negative Drug Test' Revealed by G-Dragon Himself... "Please Trust and Wait"
G-Dragon (35, real name Kwon Ji-yong), a singer accused of drug use, reportedly tested negative in a preliminary drug test.
The Narcotics Crime Investigation Division of the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency summoned Kwon on the afternoon of the 6th as a suspect under the Narcotics Control Act and questioned him for about four hours.
After leaving the police station, Kwon responded to reporters' questions about the preliminary test results by saying, "It came out negative," and added, "I have also requested an urgent detailed examination." He further stated, "I hope the investigative agency will announce the detailed examination results accurately and promptly."
The preliminary test typically shows a reaction if drugs were used within 5 to 10 days. Considering the lower accuracy of the preliminary test, the police plan to send Kwon's hair and urine samples to the National Forensic Service for a detailed analysis. It is expected to take about a month to receive the detailed test results. Previously, actor Lee Sun-kyun (48) also tested negative in a preliminary drug test on the 28th of last month.

Kwon did not submit his mobile phone on that day and said he would appear again if the police summon him additionally. When asked by reporters whether he thought the police investigation was excessive, he replied, "I do not think it was excessive. The police are doing their job based on someone's testimony due to the nature of their work."
He continued, "I came out to prove that I am not involved in drug crimes," and added, "(To the fans) I hope you do not worry too much and please trust and wait."
