On November 22 KST, G-Dragon revealed his intent to pursue legal action against perpetrators responsible for malicious online content.
G-Dragon's legal representative issued a statement on the morning of November 22, marking the fifth official communication on this matter. They released a statement saying, "We are presently initiating legal proceedings against individuals responsible for the malicious posts that encompass defamation, insults, sexual harassment, dissemination of false information, and baseless slander against Kwon Ji Yong (G-Dragon)."
Simultaneously, they emphasized, "We are in the process of compiling substantial evidence of actions that infringe upon Kwon Ji Yong's rights and interests, including instances of insults and defamation gathered through self-monitoring and reports from fans. Our approach is anchored in a zero-tolerance principle."
Furthermore, they added, "We remain committed to holding the culprits accountable to the fullest extent, with no room for compromise or leniency."
In a related development, G-Dragon, who faced allegations of drug use, obtained negative results in hair and nail tests conducted by the National Institute of Forensic Science. Earlier, he also received a negative outcome in a preliminary reagent test. Throughout these allegations, G-Dragon has consistently maintained his innocence.
As he should! It’s so easy for people to tarnish someone’s rep nowadays with just a few clicks on the keyboard not knowing a single accusation can ruin a life. Let us all be mindful of our words before publicizing for the whole world to see.
