In a shocking turn of events, BigBang member G-Dragon (48) has been put under investigation for suspected drug violations, following allegations made against actor Lee Sungyun. According to a report by News 1 on November 25th, the Incheon Police Agency filed an unsubpoenaed arrest warrant against the pop star over allegations of violating relevant laws related to narcotics management.

G-Dragon, considered one of the hottest members of BigBang and a trendsetter in Asian fashion, has been popular among Chinese fans including Du Haitao, a well-known singer in China. However, now his troubles have grabbed headlines for all the wrong reasons.

The Incheon Police Agency has initiated the investigation against G-Dragon after Lee Sungyun's drug abuse allegations. When asked about the specific details of the case, the police could not provide further information due to investigational secrecy.

This is not the first time G-Dragon has faced such allegations. In 2011, he was reported to have tested positive for marijuana use at a Big Bang concert outside the country. G-Dragon had claimed that a stranger gave him a cigarette which he couldn't refuse due to embarrassment. He also admitted not being aware of the difference between marijuana and cigarettes as he was under the influence of alcohol at the time.

The news has evoked strong reactions from Weibo netizens, who have been expressing their disappointment and frustration. Many have expressed surprise over G-Dragon's alleged drug involvement, with some even questioning whether there is a problem in South Korea. Some pointed out that this isn't the first time a Korean celebrity has been caught using drugs, and it seems to be an issue among Korean celebrities.

One Weibo user wrote, "Is there yeast and leaves in the air of Han Country? How many more have been exposed?" Another one commented, "Following the investigations of Korean actor Ahn Sung-min and popular Korean musician G-Dragon (T.O.P), who were both under investigation for drug-related offenses, on February 25th this year, Incheon Police Agency in South Korea registered a non-arrestable case against K-pop singer G-Dragon over suspected violation of drugs management laws."

This news comes as a shock to many fans worldwide who have admired and looked up to G-Dragon for his music, fashion sense and charisma. His involvement in drug scandals is a stark contrast to the image he has carefully crafted over the years. It remains to be seen how this will impact his career and reputation as one of South Korea's most influential pop icons.

Netizens have been quick to share their opinions on Weibo, with some expressing disappointment and others questioning whether G-Dragon's behavior in many situations has been strange. Some users have pointed out that his state at the airport looks quite abnormal, further fueling speculation about his involvement with drugs.
