The former frontman for the K-pop band BIGBANG, known as G-Dragon, appeared for police questioning on Monday (November 6) over allegations of illegal drug use, the latest in a string of South Korean artists embroiled in high-profile narcotics cases.
The investigation against the singer and rapper, whose given name is Kwon Ji-yong, comes amid ongoing crackdown on illegal drugs by the government of conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol.
Kwon, 35, stood briefly for the media before entering a police station in Incheon where the star of the Oscar-winning film "Parasite", Lee Sun-kyun, was also questioned over the weekend on a separate allegation of illegal drug use.
Kwon, dressed in a dark suit, denied any wrongdoing and said he had come to clear any suspicion against him. On Saturday (November 4) Lee also declined to answer questions about drug use as he left the police station, only saying he answered all the questions asked by police to the best of his knowledge. —Story from Reuters
