An attorney specializing in drug cases emphasizes that there is no definitive proof linking G-Dragon's gestures to drug use

On November 7, attorney Kim Hee Jun, who specializes in drug cases, appeared on 'YTN News Rider' and discussed G-Dragon's latest case. G-Dragon was questioned by the police on suspicion of drug use but tested negative in a preliminary drug test.

Attorney Kim argued that G-Dragon's unique gestures do not necessarily indicate drug use, stating, "We cannot consider these gestures as abnormal signs when taking drugs."

When asked, "Isn't it difficult to detect drugs if one dyes or bleaches their hair?" Attorney Kim explained, "There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding about this. Even if someone dyes or bleaches their hair, it doesn't make drug testing impossible. Nowadays, with advanced testing techniques, it is possible to confirm drug use even after hair dyeing or bleaching."


Regarding the question, "It is said he (G-Dragon) didn't hand in his cell phone, why didn't he submit it voluntarily?" Attorney Kim responded, "According to media reports, a telecommunications warrant was requested to obtain call records. However, the court rejected the warrant, which is quite unusual. Usually, such warrants are almost always approved. But if even that wasn't granted due to insufficient evidence, it raises some ambiguity regarding the specificity and credibility of the situation."

The anchor asked, "When Kwon Ji Yong (G-Dragon) attended the police station this time, he frequently moved his body and smirked when the reporters asked him to say something to his fans. Some see this as a sign of unusual behavior. What do you think of such behavior?"

Attorney Kim replied, "We cannot definitively conclude whether drug use is indicated solely based on such behavior because these gestures may be unique to the individual. Therefore, it is difficult to determine drug use solely based on words spoken or gestures exhibited. Drug offenders do not necessarily exhibit unique body language."


He further explained, "When it comes to types of drugs, there are two major categories: 'uppers' and 'downers.' If someone consumes 'downer' drugs, they might become lethargic and sedated, while 'upper' drugs can have the opposite effect. So, the reaction can vary depending on the type of drug consumed. It would be challenging to label such gestures and behavior as signs of drug use."

Notably, Attorney Kim appeared on MBC's 'Top Teacher' last year, where he shed light on the prevalence of drugs in various parts of South Korea.

GD had literally just walked out of the police station after several hours of questioning and drug testing where everything came back negative and k-netz still think he was strung out on drugs because of his body movements? Seriously?

This is so stupid. 🙄

I want to add something. I don’t know much about GD, but could his stretches are a coping mechanism for being uncomfortable? Like being in big crowds and or in front of cameras. People with talents like him can have severe anxiety. Of course he won’t right out admit it but it should be considered.

Also we never ever know a celebrity well enough to know their true personality. They always put out what they want us to see.

It’s best to never assume anything and always lead with empathy.
