K-pop star G-Dragon — of the wildly successful but problem-plagued band BIGBANG — is under investigation for alleged drug use, police said on Thursday, becoming the latest in a string of South Korean entertainers to face such a probe.

 

Police in Incheon told AFP on Thursday that they had "opened an investigation" into G-Dragon's case, but declined to provide details of the allegations against him.

 

The disclosure comes less than a week after police launched an investigation into "Parasite" actor Lee Sun-kyun, who stands accused of using marijuana and other psychoactive drugs.

 

Local news reports said that Lee — previously celebrated for his wholesome image — was being dropped from his ongoing television and commercial projects.

 

Earlier this month, another high-profile actor, Yoo Ah-in, was indicted for alleged drug use.

 

G-Dragon's group BIGBANG is one of South Korea's most successful boy bands, having sold at least 140 million records worldwide since their debut in 2006.

 

But its members have often been in the limelight for misconduct.

 

Group member Seungri retired from show business in 2019 amid mounting criminal investigations, and was later sentenced to 18 months in prison for offering up women to potential investors for sexual services, among other charges.

 

Rapper T.O.P — who in May revealed he had "withdrawn" from BIGBANG — received a suspended jail sentence in 2017 for using marijuana.

 

G-Dragon himself was also investigated for marijuana use in 2011, although he was released without indictment at the time.

So stupid  He could at least wait until he dropped another album with some bops that would easily smash the charts. But I'm astonished that he's so careless after the TOP scandal.

 

But if it's mostly weed, kpop stans are calling him all sorts of names when they have probably consumed the same thing as well

[Nini]

Now they cancel him only to lick his ass when he'll release something. Ya'll forgot (or don't know) the 2011 thing? When k-fans cancelled him, even mailed him a petition to ki*l himself, only to make BIGBANG #1 the second they dropped new stuff. That country is truly unbelievable and such a terrible place to live in.
