Yoo Ah-in: Getting worse
Yoo Ah-in’s first trial scheduled for Nov 14th was postponed to Dec 12th.
His legal representation from Infinity Law Office resigned on Nov 13th, and new lawyers from Haegwang Law Firm were appointed.
Yoo Ah-in’s legal team requested a change in the trial date due to the tight preparation period, extending the drug controversy that began in March.
After the revelation of the indictment on Nov 2nd, criticism against Yoo Ah-in has escalated. The public learned about messages indicating coercion to make a YouTuber an accomplice and to manipulate statements.
The legal team expressed regret about media reports presenting all the indictment details as confirmed facts.
Additional controversies, such as the use of propofol for 2 years and obtaining sleeping pills in someone else’s name, have further intensified negative public opinion.
Lee Sun-kyun and G-Dragon: Is there a twist?
Both the preliminary reagent test and hair follicle test showed negative results. Lee Sun-kyun claimed to have been deceived by A, who handed him the medicine, saying it was prescribed for insomnia.
G-Dragon strongly denies drug allegations, voluntarily attending a police investigation and undergoing a hair follicle test. In an interview on Nov 13th, he emphasized his innocence, stating he did not use drugs and attended voluntarily to prove his innocence quickly.
Some question the necessity of the investigations without concrete evidence, but the police defend their actions, acknowledging the lack of clear evidence but cautioning against premature conclusions.
Industry insiders hope for a turnaround in the situations involving Lee Sun-kyun and G-Dragon. While Lee Sun-kyun’s image has been tarnished, some anticipate a potential recovery. The fans awaiting the release of new music from G-Dragon may increase if his claims are proven true.
