Here's what people are saying.

BIGBANG Taeyang Lauded Amid G-Dragon's Illegal Drug Use Booking

On October 25, Korean news outlet News1 disclosed that G-Dragon had been booked by the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency.

Without detention, the idol's investigation was due to a drug-related violation, which breaks the Narcotics Control Act. The police authorities released a brief statement regarding the booking, saying they can't fully disclose details due to it being an investigation.

"Since it's a case which is on the process of investigating, we cannot reveal concrete details," they stated. The police added the case is a separate matter from Lee Sun Gyun's drug use investigation that led the actor to drop out from upcoming drama "No Way Out."

"The case is a separate one, and it's not associated with Lee's case," they followed.

Meanwhile, G-Dragon's agency YG Entertainment released their take on the investigation through a statement. YG reportedly told Xportsnews that the details were difficult to disclose since G-Dragon is currently not an artist under the agency.

"Currently, G-Dragon is not an artist under our company, so making an official statement about the matter would be difficult for us," YG Entertainment stated.

The news reached out to an online community, who specifically praised G-Dragon's bandmate Taeyang due to his well-grounded state in a world full of controversies.

Korean netizens then expressed how impressive Taeyang was for staying uncontroversial despite the BIGBANG members' issues. "The fact that he was the only one who survived in those five," the author captioned.

Read their comments below:

•  "He's staying just (in the group), but he ended up surviving."
•  "Taeyang did marry Min Hyo Rin early on. He even had a child and is living well."
•  "How did he keep his sanity in that den and survived?"
•  "I'm so surprised he didn't get tainted by being with a junkie, a sex offender, and a brothel owner."
•  "It's useless to hype up celebrities. Taeyang is just doing what a normal commoner would do."

Seungri was known to be involved in the notorious 2018 "Burning Sun" scandal, the biggest and longest scandal in history to ever hit the K-pop industry. Along with everyone involved in the case, Seungri faced the consequences by serving a three-year prison sentence.

In 2011, Daesung got into a car accident and was placed with negligent driving. T.O.P, on the other hand, has been involved with usage of marijuana, to which he received a 10-month suspended jail sentence for.
