G-Dragon, who is a member of the group Big Bang, has refuted the suspicion that he removed all body hair for evidence destruction before being investigated for drug allegations. A capture photo from the MBC entertainment program 'Infinite Challenge' aired in 2013, which shows G-Dragon's habit of hair removal, has resurfaced online.
On November 10, a capture photo was highlighted online under the title "Nothing is impossible in 'MuDo'.(Infinite Challenge)" In the capture, G-Dragon appeared in shorts, showing his hairless, smooth legs. When G-Dragon appeared in shorts, flaunting his fashion, Jung Hyung-don commented, "If you're going to act like a celebrity, it makes me uncomfortable," to which G-Dragon responded, "What can I do, I am a celebrity."
Additionally, another past photo of G-Dragon wearing shorts circulated online, also showing his hair removal state.
This resurgence of G-Dragon's past photos of hair removal state comes in light of the recent allegations that he removed all body hair to destroy evidence just before being investigated for drug allegations.
G-Dragon voluntarily appeared at the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency's Drug Crime Investigation Division on November 6th for about four hours of questioning. At that time, he underwent a simple drug test and received a negative result, stating, "I have also urgently requested a detailed examination."
On November 10, multiple media outlets reported that G-Dragon was hairless except for his head hair during the police investigation. In response, the police secured his nails for forensic testing.
G-Dragon's Regular Hair Removal, 'Infinite Challenge' from 10 Years Ago as Evidence: 'Nothing is Impossible for MuDo'
Previously, singer Park Yoo-chun and American-born broadcaster Robert Holley (Ha Il) shaved their body hair to avoid drug component detection. Hence, there were suspicions that G-Dragon might have used the same method to evade drug allegations.
G-Dragon's legal representative, attorney Kim Soo-hyun from K-One Chamber Law Firm, officially refuted the claims, stating, "It's a blatant falsehood that G-Dragon removed all body hair except for his head hair before the investigation. G-Dragon actively cooperated in the investigation by voluntarily submitting not only his urine and hair but also his fingernails and toenails."
He added, "G-Dragon clearly stated his intention to provide additional leg hair voluntarily in addition to the requested body hair samples by the police. Although G-Dragon maintained his long hair as a male, sufficient for emotional analysis, and voluntarily submitted as many hairs as the police requested, the police made it appear as if he intended to destroy evidence."
Furthermore, the attorney emphasized that G-Dragon had neither dyed nor bleached his hair in the past approximately one year and five months, contrary to the reports suggesting that frequent dyeing or bleaching could reduce drug components.
The attorney concluded, "G-Dragon clearly stated during the police investigation that he usually practiced hair removal, and he did not remove any hair after being booked. Despite this, the police prematurely judged the allegations, using expressions as if G-Dragon attempted to destroy evidence, seriously damaging his reputation."
In summary, G-Dragon's argument is that he has been practicing hair removal as usual, but he did not remove hair before attending the police investigation for the drug allegations, maintaining long body hair. The distorted reports were made before the results of G-Dragon's forensic drug test were released.
On the other hand, simple drug tests can have difficulty detecting drug use from 5 to 10 days prior. Hair analysis can confirm drug use up to about a year based on the length of the hair, and nail analysis can detect the use of drugs like methamphetamine or ecstasy up to 5-6 months prior.
