    "Divina Commedia" from his 2017 record by himself.

    G-Dragon asks, "Who am I?" in the film. and then the "Divina Commedia" stage.

    Track 11 "Veridis Quo" from Daft Punk's classic "Discovery" was sampled and put back together in this song.

    The idea came from the famous work "Divine Comedy" by Dante Alighieri.

    The police arrested G-Dragon on charges of breaking the Narcotics Control Act, but he rejected all drug charges and went to the police station on his own time.

    After G-Dragon failed all drug tests and A, who worked at the entertainment establishment, changed her story, the police dropped all charges against G-Dragon and the case was closed on December 19th.
