G-Dragon Speaks Up About Past Drug Allegations
On October 30, G-Dragon appeared on tvN’s You Quiz On The Block and expressed his honest feelings about returning with a solo album after seven years.
This was his first time appearing on a variety show in 12 years.
I started as a trainee at six and debuted when I was 19. I only lived as Kwon Ji Yong for four or five years and as a trainee or G-Dragon for over 20 years. I didn’t know who I was.
— G-Dragon
He also shared his feelings of wondering if he was truly happy.
I received a lot of love and had everything I needed, but I still wondered, ‘Am I Happy? I should be.’ It was hard for me to stay sane. It felt like the ‘Truman Show’. Everything was going well for me, so asking for consolation was hard.
— G-Dragon
He also indirectly talked about the various rumors surrounding him, including the drug allegations last year.
“I’ve lived a glamorous life for almost all my life, so things that weren’t my problem arose. I tried to do what I could, but I felt pushed into a corner. I should have thought there was space behind me and not a corner, but it felt like I was being pushed into one at that time.
I couldn’t move forward, and there was a wall behind me. I forced myself to stay centered because if I became exhausted mentally, I would think about dangerous things. But now, time has passed, and my mind has cleared.”
— G-Dragon
It was later revealed that he donated the money he received from the show to his anti-drug foundation, JusPeace.
