G-Dragon, who was embroiled in a drug case, recently celebrated the formal dissolution of his legal team on December 30 after winning his case. It was reported that he, along with his team, celebrated his big win after clearing his name from the illegal drug abuse case. The event was held in Galaxy Corporation's building, which is G-Dragon's agency.

On December 30, photos from the gathering circulated online, showing G-Dragon with his new management CEO, Choi Yong Ho, as well as his legal representative, LKB & Partners' head attorney Lee Jung Yeop, and other supporters.

G-Dragon wrote, "Disbanding G-Dragon’s Dream Team. Thank you for everything. I will not forget how you stayed by my side through the darkest times."

A banner hung in the background read, "Sa-Pil-Gwi-Jung," which referred to one of G-Dragon's earlier updates mid-investigation, and meant "What's right will prevail." The banner also thanked G-Dragon's "Dream Team" for sticking by him through it all.

What was the drug scandal about?

On October 27, reports emerged that South Korean celebrities, BIGBANG member G-Dragon and acclaimed actor Lee Sun Kyun, have been prohibited from leaving South Korea due to their involvement in separate drug investigations.

The Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency's drug crime investigation team, with approval from the Ministry of Justice, imposed travel bans on both individuals. Notably, these cases were unrelated and were being investigated separately.

The K-pop idol G-Dragon was acquitted of all drug-related charges, as per allkpop. The police dropped charges against the rapper after recent tests cleared him of any suspected drug usage, marking a significant reversal in the legal battle involving the BIGBANG member. Additionally, no further testing will be taking place for G-Dragon.

Notably, G-Dragon faced prior controversy in 2011 for cannabis consumption in Japan, with his case being suspended due to his first-time offender status and low consumption levels.
