K-netizens react to the news of G-Dragon being cleared of drug use allegations due to lack of evidence

AKP STAFF

G-Dragon, also known as Kwon Ji Yong, is expected to be cleared of drug use accusations. 

On December 13, the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency's Drug Crime Investigation Unit revealed they plan to drop the case due to a lack of evidence. After a detailed drug test showed negative results, and despite questioning six witnesses, the police couldn't find enough proof of drug use. They've also decided not to extend G-Dragon's expired travel ban.

A police official said, "We plan to conclude the case with a finding of no suspicion against Mr. Kwon. The final decision is expected to be made by the end of December."

The investigation began in September based on a statement from a manager in Gangnam, Seoul. G-Dragon was charged last month but denied using drugs. After tests, he was found negative for drugs, leading to criticism of the police for what some see as an excessive investigation. However, the police explained that their standard procedure involves investigating based on statements and proving the absence of suspicion.

With the latest news revealing that the case against G-Dragon will be dropped, Korean netizens are leaving comments under the article asking who will take responsibility for the excessive investigation into the artist.

They commented, "Who will take responsibility?" "They made a big fuss and then no prosecution. G-Dragon must feel a sense of injustice. Even if he's a public figure, they shouldn't have taken it this far and should've been fair," "The companies like BMW probably regret taking down G-Dragon's advertisements," "They had no solid evidence and released it to the media. What's the reason for ruining a celebrity's image like this?" "He should sue for defamation," "He suffered so much. Ultimately, the police had no evidence," "Why are they saying end of December? Just drop it now," "They need to make a public apology to G-Dragon," and "G-Dragon suffered so much."

He needs to make it rain lawsuits. This is ridiculous that they won’t go ahead and close his case

Why is it going to take until the end of the month? They've got nothing, they've never had anything, why can't they do it now?

.

Unless they're taking time to write an abject apology for the clusterfuck of a mess they've caused, and are negotiating suitable compensation for the crazy overreach they've committed.
