K-netizens React To G-Dragon’s Crossfire Incident, Via Dispatch

Dispatch revealed G-Dragon’s role in Lee Sun Gyun’s drug controversy two days ago.

On November 22, Dispatch reported that the Incheon Metropolitan Police summoned two star celebrities for drug investigations without evidence.

When Lee Sun Gyun was exposed as the top celebrity under drug investigation, the incident became public. Lee Sun Gyun was a top 1% VIP customer of a room salon, an adult entertainment institution. The actor said that the establishment’s manager ‘A’ pressured him into paying over 300 million KRW (233,000 USD).

With public curiosity growing, Dispatch investigated the case and found that G-Dragon was drawn into it after the entertainment establishment’s management claimed he was a customer. At least five occasions, this manager was booked for drug use.

There was no proof that G-Dragon visited the establishment or spoke with the manager, ‘A,’ who claimed to know the artist. When the authorities investigated G-Dragon entirely on claims given by a multiple-convict, netizens were frustrated and disbelieving. The accuser’s problematic record cast doubt on the charges, hence this decision caused debate.

“This woman said GD visited the entertainment establishment,” K-netizens said. Police investigated, believing her, but found no evidence of GD entering the establishment. She claimed to have footage of GD in the bathroom, but police couldn’t discover it after their phone forensics. She boasted to friends about messaging GD, but the cops found no chat log. Without evidence, all warrants were dismissed. “So she always lied that big celebrities came to meet her at the establishment, but the cops believed her falsehoods and investigated. GD tested negative for all drug tests and there was no record of him entering the establishment.” “We can’t curse at the police because they investigated the case according to testimony, but the media published sensational articles. The police didn’t brief the public on the matter.” “That female manager had prior offenses and there was room for doubt on what she said so the police had to investigate but the media pre-maturely released the news,” “GD should sue that entertainment establishment b***ch and the police at this point,” “I’m not GD’s fan but I feel so bad for him,” and “If this incident escalates, GD could file a substantial suit.” The situation requires a resignation. GD deserves a real apology.”
