The reason why BIG BANG’s G-Dragon signed with Galaxy Corporation has been revealed
On December 22nd, Sports Seoul reported that the drug allegation was the decisive reason G-Dragon didn’t stay in YG and joined hands with Galaxy Corporation.
Accordingly, G-Dragon was about to sign an exclusive contract with YG to release albums. In the middle of the discussion, suspicions of G-Dragon’s drug use were raised and articles poured out.
At that time, YG did not deny G-Dragon’s drug allegation and stated, “It is difficult for us to respond to the issue because the artist is currently not under our company”. In this regard, a K-pop official predicted, “From YG’s point of view, it would have been difficult for them to defend G-Dragon because CEO Yang Hyun-suk is still under investigation by the prosecution”.
During that time when G-Dragon couldn’t make any official response regarding the case, Galaxy Corporation stepped forward. Galaxy Corporation’s CEO Choi Yong-gi, who has a close relationship with G-Dragon, actively protected G-Dragon when he was facing drug allegations and provided legal advice to him.
After that, various media outlets began to spread rumors of G-Dragon signing an exclusive contract with Galaxy Corporation. Seeing that, CEO Yang Hyun-suk angrily proposed, “Let’s solve your relationship with Galaxy and sign a contract”, but G-Dragon decided to sign with Galaxy.
The media added, “G-Dragon’s great disappointment in YG played a significant role in this decision”.
In the end, YG confirmed G-Dragon’s contract with Galaxy and stated, “We sincerely wish for blessings in G-Dragon’s new journey. We hope fans will keep giving him support and encouragement”. This statement is said to have been discussed by CEO Yang Hyun-suk and G-Dragon.
