The higher you stand, the harder you will fall when you fall off the altar. Some people feel sorry for you, some people sigh, and some people watch the show.
After it was revealed last week that powerful star Lee Sun-kyun was taking drugs, the Korean entertainment industry quickly entered a tense mode. As he was put on file this week and formally accepted police investigation, more scandals were involved, and more explosive news broke out almost every day. When BIGBANG G-Dragon was kicked out and involved in drugs, countless people could not suppress their shocked emotions.
BIGBANG is a pioneering idol boy group that can carve its name into the development history of K-POP. They have achieved great success in the Asian music scene with their unique music style, personality and fashion taste, and are known as “Asia’s No. 1 Boy Group”, G -Dragon is the soul of the group. You can imagine how frustrated the fans were when the negative news was made public. In fact, this is not the first time G-Dragon has been exposed to such things. As early as 2011, when he attended a concert in Japan, he was found to have a positive urine test for marijuana. Although GD said he was unaware of this incident, this incident once again pushed Bigbang to the forefront of public opinion.
BIGBANG has a total of five members, G-Dragon, TOP, Seungri, Daesung and Taeyang. So far, only Taeyang has been quiet and has not caused any negative scandals. The other four members have experienced a series of larger scandals and dispute.
In 2011, Dadao drove into someone and killed him. The deceased fell to the ground after crashing into a streetlight while driving his motorcycle while drunk. Da DaSheng (who was driving at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour) did not find the deceased lying on the ground and continued driving. Later, the police stated that they did not rule out the possibility that the deceased had died before being hit by Da Dao, so Da Dao was eventually treated as non-suspicious, but this also had a considerable impact on his career. In addition, the entertainment business establishment in the building under his name was suspected of drug circulation and secretly providing drugs to VIP customers. Although it was not directly related to him, it still became a stain on his career.
TOP was accused of smoking marijuana in 2017 and 2018. TOP admitted this behavior during the investigation. The Seoul Central District Court sentenced him to six months in prison, suspended for two years. TOP also directly quit the team to reduce the negative impact on the entire team.
Immediately after “Victory Gate”, BIGBANG’s reputation fell to the bottom. Victory was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months in prison for nine crimes including sex trafficking intermediary, corruption, and instigating special violence. Victory himself did not touch any contraband, but his nightclub was involved in drugs during the investigation. If he said that he had no knowledge of this, the credibility would be too low.
BIGBANG is the memory of many people’s youth. Nowadays, 4 of the 5 members are “problem characters”, 3 of them are involved in drugs, and only Taeyang, who got married early, is left. This ending is really regrettable.
