• JTBC Extends Sincere Apology to G-Dragon for Incorrect Reports

    During a news show on December 21, Yang Won Bo, the host of JTBC News's "Scandal Supervisor," told G-Dragon they were sorry for how they covered his recent drug incident.

    The news anchor admitted that the first reports, which were shown during the early stages of the police probe, had things in them that G-Dragon might have thought were wrong or inappropriate.

    As soon as the anchor realized how their reporting had affected G-Dragon and his fans, they apologized for any grief or trouble they had caused.


    In the past two months, JTBC has spread fake information about G-Dragon (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), including claims about his behavior and drugs, as well as making fun of him.

    When G-Dragon went to the police station, JTBC anchors criticized his actions and said he should say sorry to everyone.

    The network's coverage also included harsh comments about what he did, with headlines like "Snoring, stretching…

    "G-Dragon, is this a sign that you are not guilty?" These comments made it sound like they didn't like how he behaved during the probe.

    G-Dragon announced on December 21 that he had signed an exclusive deal with Galaxy Corporation, which meant he would no longer work with YG Entertainment.

    At a press conference that morning, Jo Sung Hae, CEO of Galaxy Corporation, made it clear that he would do everything he could to protect G-Dragon's image.

    The CEO said that the company would take strict legal action against anyone who wrote or posted anything bad about G-Dragon that was meant to hurt his reputation.

    They gave everyone one week, until December 28, to get rid of all the false information about G-Dragon.

    The agency also asked the media to be careful about how they reported on G-Dragon's drug incident, stressing how important it was to let him get back to making songs without any extra problems.
