• G-Dragon Cleared of Drug Charges— YG Entertainment's Response Raises Questions

    YG didn't say much about the reports that BIGBANG's G-Dragon would be coming back to the company.

    In response to news stories saying that G-Dragon would be back at YG Entertainment on December 20, YG said, "It is hard to confirm this information."

    A report from Sports Seoul earlier that same day said that G-Dragon has not signed an exclusive contract with Galaxy Corporation as had been rumored. Instead, he is expected to sign a new contract with YG Entertainment to do activities.


    G-Dragon put up a film of himself singing "OUTRO" on November 28.

    "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.
