So YG Ent went from "STFU Dispatch you fake news" to "We will check" to "Yes we fired him"... in a matter of hours? Probably figured they have their hands full as it is to bother sticking to the script a second longer...

The fact that they terminated his contract over him "thinking about doing drugs" makes me think there is more to this story. As much as I don't want to believe it, I feel there is more to this than meets the eye and the best way to deal with it is terminating his contract asap before seungris situation happens all over again.
