"He is truly a saint," K-netizens are praising G-Dragon for his admirable decision to establish a foundation dedicated to preventing youth involvement in illegal drugs

AKP STAFF

Korean netizens are praising G-Dragon for his admirable decision to establish a foundation dedicated to preventing youth involvement in illegal drugs.

On December 21, Galaxy Corporation director Jo Sung Hae appeared in front of the press at JW Marriott Hotel, representing G-Dragon. On this day, the director conveyed G-Dragon's position through a letter.

Director Jo Sung Hae addressed various aspects of G-Dragon's future endeavors and sentiments surrounding a recent drug scandal. Despite being cleared of any wrongdoing by the police, G-Dragon faced challenges due to unfounded speculations.

In a letter conveyed by Director Jo, G-Dragon shared plans to establish a foundation aimed at combating illegal drug issues in South Korea, particularly focusing on aiding vulnerable youth.

G-Dragon wrote, "I've decided to act for those youth who are defenseless and exposed to dangerous paths, for those who choose a path without knowing that it is a frightening and mistaken path, by doing work to eradicate illegal drugs. I want to make opportunities for medical help available to everyone. I want to create a system where I can act as an oppa, hyung, dongsaeng, or just an acquaintance to those who are weak and defenseless, so that they may not fall victim to injustice once again. To make sure that I can sustain this role and this system, I have decided to establish a foundation."

The letter concluded with, "This is how Kwon Ji Yong intends to begin his 2024. I will fulfill my duties as both an artist and as a member of society, by making a comeback and by contributing to society, so I hope that you all will also do your best to fulfill your duties and responsibilities. I believe that when the collective will and actions of many people come together, change is possible."


The press conference was covered by various media outlets and shared among various online communities where Korean netizens could share their views on G-Dragon's plans.

Numerous netizens are applauding G-Dragon for his commendable decision to establish a foundation aimed at combating drug use, despite the challenges he endured during the recent drug scandal.

K-netizens praised, "Experiencing such an ordeal and deciding to exert effort in the anti-drug campaign and establish a foundation is truly remarkable. How did he come up with such thoughts? If it were me, I think I would have been too filled with anger to consider such ideas," "G-Dragon is more than a 'bigger person' he's a saint...I understand why Taeyang said GD is the nicest person he met," "I was worried that G-Dragon might be deeply hurt by this incident and perhaps cease celebrity activities or become reclusive. However, he truly appears to be an even more significant person than I thought. I never dreamt that he would contemplate establishing a drug foundation. It goes to show that someone successful in their field is indeed different," "I'm so glad G-Dragon is my first and last bias. I think he's a remarkable person and he's someone who's meant to be successful," "Wow, he's so amazing. He's doing so many good works," "I'm so pissed that he couldn't even publicize that he signed with a new agency because his previous one didn't announce the contract expiration," and "He is truly a saint."

It's also a jab at all the people who accused him of doing drugs in the first place. Good on him for doing this. As Kelsier22 said, "He's killing them with kindness."
