G-Dragon's Recommendation for Drug-Related Book: "Problem Solving Must Start with Positivity"

Recommended for 'All Questions About Youth Drug Use'

Singer G-Dragon, who was investigated by the police on drug allegations, wrote a recommendation for a book addressing youth drug issues.

In the recommendation for the upcoming book "All Questions About Youth Drugs" (Junior Taehak), set to be published on the 30th, G-Dragon wrote, "Prejudice blocks the path to healing and change. To solve the root of the problem, it must start with positivity through prevention and education, not law and punishment," adding, "I hope readers can deeply empathize with the dangers of drugs and focus on healing through this book."

He also said, "I aim to convey messages of prevention and healing through music. I hope this book spreads widely and helps create a peaceful world where people do not doubt themselves at the end of days that feel like tests."

G-Dragon was investigated by the police in October last year on suspicion of drug use. At the time, he consistently claimed, "I did not use drugs," voluntarily appeared for investigation, and was tested negative in preliminary reagent tests and detailed forensic analysis by the National Forensic Service, resulting in no charges. Afterwards, G-Dragon signed an exclusive contract with his new agency Galaxy Corporation and announced plans to establish a foundation called "Justice" to combat drugs.

He said, "Through this incident, I came to see things I had not seen before," explaining, "I learned the heartbreaking fact that an average of 20,000 drug offenders are recorded annually, youth drug cases are continuously increasing, and fewer than 500 of those 20,000 offenders receive treatment." He continued, "That is why I thought I must take action. For the youth exposed defenselessly, I want to actively work toward eradicating drugs," adding, "I will play a systemic role protecting them as someone's older brother, elder brother, or colleague so that the unfair experiences of the powerless and weak do not repeat."

G-Dragon made the foundation’s first donation of 300 million won under the name of Big Bang’s fandom, 'VIP.' He also promised, "I will make a comeback next year and fulfill both my responsibilities as an artist and my social responsibilities."
