Big Bang rapper G-Dragon has given his first interview since he was booked by South Korean police on drug charges, reiterating his denial of the allegations and rubbishing new claims that he had shaved his body to ‘tamper with evidence’.The new interview was conducted by South Korean news network Yonhap News TV in a live broadcast on national television yesterday evening (November 13). When asked by a Yonhap representative if he had taken any drugs, the singer continued to firmly deny the claims.
Asked about the results of a comprehensive drug test he volunteered for last week, G-Dragon said the test had come back negative.“I know myself best. Because I did not take drugs, I attended [police interrogation sessions] to prove my innocence as soon as possible, because [I have] nothing to do with the drug charges,” he told Yonhap, via Herald Pop.
G-Dragon had gone to a police station in Incheon, South Korea early last week for questioning that reportedly lasted four hours, which included a rapid drug test administered on-site. After exiting the station, he told the media that he had tested negative and that questioning went smoothly.G-Dragon also responded to reports that emerged after his questioning and alleged that he had tried to ‘tamper with evidence’ by removing all the hair on his body apart from that on his head.
On November 10, the rapper’s lawyer issued a statement calling the reports “inaccurate” and the claims tantamount to “defamation”, as Soompi reported. G-Dragon would in future “take strong legal action against such speculative reporting”, it said.In the Yonhap TV interview, G-Dragon addressed and denied those allegations, which he called “completely different from the truth”.
