Kim emphasized a commitment to holding the suspects accountable without leniency, taking stern action against the creators of malicious posts.

G-Dragon, whose real name is Kwon Ji-yong, tested negative in a comprehensive narcotics analysis of his nail samples conducted by the National Forensic Service on Tuesday. This followed a drug test conducted by the drug crime investigation unit earlier in the month when he voluntarily underwent police questioning on November 6. The 35-year-old artist consistently denies any involvement in illegal drug use.

In a recent interview with a local media outlet, G-Dragon reiterated his stance, emphasizing that he has never been approached by anyone involved in drugs. He asserted that his chosen methods for relieving stress or loneliness have never involved drug use and will continue to reflect that commitment.
