G-Dragon (real name Kwon Ji-yong), who has been booked by the police on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act, will voluntarily appear at the Narcotics Crime Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Investigation Unit at Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency on the 6th of next month. Kim Soo-hyun, a legal advisor from the law firm K1 Chamber, stated on the 31st, "We have decided to actively cooperate for a swift and fair investigation." He also urged the media and press, "Please take a responsible stance to prevent the spread of baseless false information that could cause irreparable damage to a K-pop artist representing Korea," and warned, "We will take the strongest possible legal action against speculative reports for spreading false information and defamation."

The Metropolitan Investigation Unit of the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency booked G-Dragon on the 25th on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act. The police believe he illegally used psychotropic drugs. A source explained, "There is a statement that the drug use occurred a long time ago, and we are verifying it," adding, "Additional investigation is necessary." G-Dragon firmly denies the allegations. On the 27th, through lawyer Kim, he released a statement saying, "I have never used drugs." On the 30th, he also said, "I have submitted a letter of intent to voluntarily appear before the police and will actively cooperate with the investigation."
