The 35-year-old rapper, who rose to fame as the leader of boy group BIGBANG, made the denial in a statement issued through his lawyer, news agency Yonhap reported.“I'll actively and more sincerely cooperate with the police investigation since I know well that many people are worried about me,” he added.At the time, G-Dragon reportedly admitted to smoking marijuana but said he was unaware that he consumed the substance. Prosecutors eventually decided to drop the case.
