"Drug Use Cannot Be Determined by Gestures"
"It Could Simply Be the Person's Unique Gesture"

Singer G-Dragon (real name Kwon Ji-yong) showed a unique gesture during his police investigation appearance, prompting a former drug investigation prosecutor turned lawyer to comment, "You cannot conclude drug use based solely on such behavior."


On the 7th, lawyer Kim Hee-jun appeared on 'YTN News Rider' and said, "It is difficult to determine drug use just by observing someone's speech or gestures."


Referring to G-Dragon's first appearance for police questioning on the 6th, he said, "It could be his own unique behavior or gesture," adding, "Drug offenders do not necessarily exhibit peculiar movements." G-Dragon was seen shaking his hands and stretching in front of reporters during his police appearance.

Lawyer Kim explained, "Drugs are divided into 'up' and 'down' types. When someone uses down-type drugs, they tend to become subdued and lethargic, whereas up-type drugs cause the opposite effect." He continued, "Although it varies slightly depending on the drug type, it is difficult to consider such gestures or actions as abnormal symptoms caused by drug use."


Regarding G-Dragon posting the phrase 'Sapilguijeong' (meaning 'justice will prevail') on his Instagram after the police investigation, Kim speculated, "The charges are not yet specific, and it seems Kwon Ji-yong himself is curious about the details of the allegations."

Earlier, on the 6th, G-Dragon voluntarily appeared at the Narcotics Crime Investigation Division office of the Incheon Police Agency located at Incheon Nonhyeon Police Station. Before the investigation, he strongly denied drug use allegations in front of reporters.


Facing the press, when asked, "Do you admit to drug use?" he replied, "I have never committed any drug-related crime," adding, "I came here to clarify that, so rather than talking much, I will quickly undergo the investigation and leave."


After a four-hour investigation, he said, "I actively cooperated with the necessary statements and hair samples. I answered truthfully."


When asked about the preliminary drug test results, he said, "It came out negative. A detailed test has also been urgently requested. From now on, I hope the investigative agency will provide accurate and swift results."

Meanwhile, after completing his first police investigation, G-Dragon posted an image containing the phrase 'Sapilguijeong' on his social media (SNS).



Through Instagram, he wrote, "All things eventually return to the right principle. At first, right and wrong may not be distinguished, and improper matters may temporarily prevail or gain power, but it does not last long, and everything inevitably returns to the right principle."
