After being relieved of all drug allegations and all charges dropped against him, BIGBANG's G-Dragon has ta𓂃ken his first public steps sooner than expected. The K-Pop idol, whose real name is Kwon Ji-yong, has returned to the spotlight and launched a powerful initiative -- a♓ foundation to eradicate drug use.
According to the singer's new agency, Galaxy Corporation, the idol has launched an anti-drug foundation named JUSPEACE, a blend of "justice" and "peace." Through a substantial donation to this foundation, G-Dragon aims to draw from his personal experiences to instill hꦏope in others, seeking to turn a negative phaꦡse of his own life into something positive.
On December 26, Galaxy Corporation said, “The foundation will establish a strong determination to realize a society without prejudice through Kwon Ji-yong’s music and will carry out activities accordingly...The foundation’s first project will focus on activities for drug eradication and the treatment of addicted youth,” asไ per Nate News.
“The fir🎉st donation will be based in the name of VIP (BIGBANG’s fandom name), and I will make a full donation under the name of the Guardians of Daisy, which I voluntarily created through this incident,” the 'Crayon' singer said in a statement. The first donation, which is worth ₩300 million (about Rs. 1.9 crore), was made by the artist himself.
During a press conference earlier this month, speculations arose regarding G-Dragon's comeback in 2024. Despite his departure from YG Entertainment (his former label), ongoing discussions between the company a♔nd the artist involve partial contracts and other possibilities. The label also reinstated that they will be extending full support to G-Dragon should he choose to move forward with his musical career, offering help in any way possible.
