A significant hurdle arose for the authorities when it was discovered that G-Dragon had removed all body hair except for the hair on his head. The musician defended his actions, stating that, “I remove my body hairs regularly”, implying that it is unrelated to the ongoing investigation. Undeterred, the police sent hair follicle samples from G-Dragon’s head and fingernail clippings to a forensic lab on November 7, awaiting test results that could provide insights into potential drug use.
Drug tests using fingernail clippings typically have a detection window of 5 to 6 months but may lack specificity regarding the types of drugs used. Hair follicle samples from the head can present challenges, especially if the individual frequently dyes their hair.
A recent report from My Daily suggests that G-Dragon had preemptively removed all body hair before the drug test, prompting police to investigate the possibility of deliberate evidence destruction.
This development follows the pattern of previous celebrities implicated in drug-related cases who also removed body hair prior to testing. The police are exploring this angle, considering the actions of other individuals who later tested positive for drugs.
It’s worth noting that the police’s handling of investigations has come under scrutiny, adding another layer of complexity to the unfolding situation. G-Dragon and actor Lee Sun Kyun, who were both implicated in the investigation, have tested negative for drugs.
As the forensic lab awaits the results of the tests on G-Dragon’s samples, the police will decide whether to summon him for additional questioning and further investigation. The outcome of this high-profile case will likely have a significant impact on G-Dragon’s reputation and the public perception of the ongoing investigations involving celebrities and drug use.
