G-Dragon is taking legal action against reports suggesting evidence tampering by removing his body hair in connection to alleged drug use.
Earlier, there were reports raising suspicion about G-Dragon concealing evidence related to potential drug use. He had been booked by the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency last month on charges of illegal drug use, which his lawyers subsequently denied. Recently, G-Dragon voluntarily cooperated with investigations at the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency’s Narcotics Unit and provided samples to the National Forensic Service for analysis.
G-Dragon Reacts to Alleged Evidence Tampering Reports
On November 10, media outlets reported that G-Dragon had shaved off all his body hair before visiting the police station. This raised suspicions that he may have done so to tamper with evidence, preventing his body hair from being tested for drugs. In response to these claims, G-Dragon’s lawyer, Kim Soo Hyun, released a statement refuting the allegations of evidence tampering and announced their intention to take legal action against false reports.
“There were reports today claiming G-Dragon shaved his body hair except the hair on his head before the police investigation and that police have raised suspicions of him attempting to tamper with evidence,” the statement read.
“The reports of him shaving his entire body is completely untrue,” it continued. “Furthermore, the court rejected this case due to a lack of evidence, and consequently, no search and seizure warrant related to hair has been issued. Despite this, Kwon Ji Yong believed that by swiftly revealing the truth he can eliminate speculation, and he voluntarily underwent police questioning and cooperated with the investigation by submitting not only urine and hair samples but also nails and toenails. Additionally, he even expressed his willingness to provide additional samples, including leg hair, beyond the head hair samples initially requested by the police.”
“In the future, we will take strong legal action against speculative reporting,” the statement added. “We request that the media engage in responsible and cautious reporting based on facts to prevent irreparable harm to G-Dragon, who is a prominent public figure.”
The legal action aims to address and clarify the situation regarding the allegations and to protect G-Dragon’s reputation amid the ongoing investigation.
