"Netizens" are internet citizens who spend too much free time in internet cafes doing nothing but writing hate messages! Hahah! So they can consist of fans and non-fans. 

yeah of course 

I KNEW it would be something like this. I'm so angry right now. As soon as that Kang ho Dong scandal came out, after such a long time before it was suspected...I KNEW news portals were trying to cover something up. I'm so so angry. Injustice at its best.

they're just blowing it out of proportion -_- i really doubt Taeyang's tweet was about that, but since it CAN be related to this situation, it IS related to this situation..you know, just to add oil to the flame.

and wow, knetizens really love to hate!! their comments aren't even rational! "Even if he didn't know, marijuana is unacceptable because he's G-Dragon (a celebrity)"

first of all, how the fuck would you be able to avoid it if you didn't even know?! also, because he's a celebrity?! does this person even know that, sometimes, NOT ALL the time, a person becomes a "celebrity" because it's the only way to promote their music? Sometimes, they don't have a choice.

He became 1 of BB because he loved to rap, dance, and produce. GD for one is an artist who got known with the "celeb" status for his WORK, and not like some shallow shell of a celeb who has minimal talent but became celebs because they were put together by the company to earn money with other ppl's songs? (not pointing fingers, but just showing you the opposite side of the spectrum)

PEOPLE ARE MAKING SUCH A BIG DEAL OUT OF THIS.. Dude he's young,everyone does a bit of experimenting, he even only had a very little amount - he wasn't even high! Smoking weed is illegal I know, he should be punished but tbh, we all have done something illegal sometime in our lives and all these "fans" who hate him now for this should grow some balls and suck it up. Have you forgotten about all the good and happiness he brings to people with his music and his amazing personality? Stop focusing on this one little thing he he's done "wrong" and trying to bring him down!G-DRAGON, FIGHTING ALWAYS! <3

Wowwww! Those peoples comments are too much !!! Thats why a lot of them are always depressed!! People calm your ass up!! It was a mistake! Just bare with him!! Instead of insulting him like that, its just SAD! I'd like to add that this incident shouldnt affect anything, its not like he killed someone then people could react/comment to it. He's one of your best persona that made me like koreans! So just be glad he was just suspend!! Bigbang Fighting!!

Korean fans are being drama queens ~ geeeezz ~ chill

hey stop saying that 'shouldn’t he be banned from appearing on TV? this type of thing larr,if u don like GD u can don't comment rite?jus keep it inside ur heart larr,making ppl angry only

These antis are so mean! Give him time to reflect on what happened! We don't know what really happened okay?! I don't want him getting all stressed just like before because of your stupid comments! T-T

yahhhh!!!!!! see this this is the truth!!! http://www.bigbangupdates.com/2011/10/g-dragon-caught-smoking-marijuana-news.html

Inaccurate info -- GD's photos are all over the G-market's site and  Facebook page -- just click you'll find them.

so what happens now with his new album launch?  will this push through this october?  i just hope so... this fiasco is way to suspicious to only come out now when it happened several months ago.  the timing is hard to ignore considering that his comeback as a solo artist is much anticipated.  no matter what, G Dragon is still for me the best thing that ever happen to kpop.  GD fighting!

T.T

Wowww! Those people are too much!!! Thats why a lot of them are always depressed! People calm your ass down! It was a mistake! Just bare with him instead of insulting him like that, its just SAD! I'd like to add that this incident shouldnt affect anything, its not like he did a very bad thing to your country then people could react/comment to it. He's one of your BEST persona that made me as an overseas fan like Koreans! So people stop bashing them like that. Other people care for them as a human being making a bit of mistake!!! #StayStrongGD BIG BANG FIGHTING!!!

How can people say this? I was a mistake, we all make them. Just because GD is a celebrity doesn't mean that he should get punished more. This was JUST released to the public, let him wait for the haters to die down before he has to explain what happened. As far as I know, it wasn't on purpose. He genuinely thought that it was a cigarette. He shouldn't have to apologize for that.

No matter what, i will support GD. I just hope that he knows that he still has fans who love him, and are sympathetic with his situation.

I kinda already suspected it that he was using mari because fanaccourts keep saying that he smells really good and sweet mixed with alchohol and cigerette. But the previous article said that he only smoked it once which means I was wrong^^ because 'I thought he must be smocking mari infrequently in parties.
LOL I don't care what he does just keep making great music!

Seriously Korea?

trend this on twitter #weforgiveGD

"It's even more disappointing for me because I'm a fan" that's why, sorry if I misunderstood ^_^ 

After reading these comments....I just can't stop my tears...why are people so cruel? it's like he did the biggest crime ever...
Why do you keep messing up GD? it's killing me from inside, I'm so fuckin worried right now...

all we can do is KEEP VOTING BIGBANG ON MTVEMA AND PRAY FOR BIGBANG

Thanks! Posted the reactions here since most articles that are being translated and published on Kpop sites usually include comments from netizens. Posted them here before those kinds of articles pop up. Noted on the "haters and not normal koreans" bit. Thanks! :)

And the worst thing is, they are blaming it on a "fan" that gave it to him -_-"

"3,904 agree, 241 disagree

Even if he didn’t know, marijuana is unacceptable because he’s G-Dragon (a celebrity)"

oh come on... its just weed, dont be such a hypocrite...

Gosh, seeing Korea's netizens comments on this matter is really sad and heartbreaking for me...

This case really tainted GD's image and has a huge impact on him :(

but remember GD, i'll still support & love you for being that musical talent we all love.

And the official statement from YG is out; it will clear up some of the questions raised... hopefully it will be up soon. 

But the upshot is, a fan approached jiyong at a bathroom in a club in Japan, and he offered a cigarette. Out of showing respect to him, Jiyong sipped 2-3 times then he realized the cigarette tasted/smelled weird, so he threw it away right away. And he was only reminded of that little incident only after they got the "positive" result from investigators, so he told the investigators what might have caused the positive results. So that was how they found out. 

what? ¬¬

This reaction seems normal, they don't want drug users promoting their stuff. That's fine and is someway a punshiment, harsh but he lives under those laws. I am relieved he only did it once, he confessed, got tested and is going through the motions. I think it shows maturity and honesty, rather than it coming out he's been a secret addict for years. (I am a little worried his daily cigarrette useage will go up with the stress though.) their probably took into account he did it back in May, around the same time Daesung got into trouble, so far I think that is a factor.
I don't like how this is going to negatively impact the whole group and their respect in the industry may take a back lash but after the shock and reflection I think people will come round again and I think GD will try not let people down. Look at all the good things he's done vs a one time lapse in judgement that has not since affected his work or he has repeated. 

Still trying to take all of this in.
It's because of this one slip that everyone is talking about him, condemning him, ostracizing him, laughing about him, and accusing him.
Jiyong, just know that in this horrible, horrible mess, there are people who will pray and support you.
We may not fully understand everything but we still love you.
Fighting!

bad things will happen start from now :(
let's pray hard like we did for daesung ~
pray for BIGBANG !! 

If you check G-market's site, they removed all photos of GD. Only seeing Yoo Inna's now :(

OH MY FREAKIN' GOD!~
I just can't believe those people!~
I don't know but, I think they're just too judgmental.
I mean, everyone commits a goddamn mistake, but, for just two puffs of marijuana-concealed-in-a-cigarette. I think, it's too unfair..

YES..NO WAY~~~ i really agree with u, he's a good man, anyway i don't care whatever happen in the future i'm always  here to support him n BB <3 FIGHTING BOYS<3

Pity him :'( *crying loudly*

Are you referring to this tweet that Taeyang replied to? https://twitter.com/#!/MINAKWON/status/121155432952758272 The owner of that account is not GD's sister ;]

well.. for sure they were aware of this coming... GD's sis did tweet "no one's perfect"... 

wtf.

TT

ok, so those netizens are supposed to be VIPs? really? how can someone be that stupid?

I hope this won't affect BB or GD to much,  they(the media etc) are exaggerating, he didn't kill enyone, he's not addicted or anything....OK, he did wrong, but he cooperated with the police, he knows he was wrong, why such a big deal??????? now because he tried/he didn't know whatever he has to disappear? really? he worked hard, he's a very good singer, an awesome songwriter and everything...for GOD SAKE!!! 
"It's even  more disappointing for me becaus I'm a fan. He's horrible"< - you're horrible, how can you call yourself a fan??? HE DIDN'T KILL ANYONE!!!!!!!!!! 

Once again, why only now we find out? this happened in may/june, why we find out in october, now when his solo album must be released? 

i read the above comment stated in the article..and i cant belive my eyes...people ..how could you be so cruel towards GD..and on top of that U are saying 'i am a fan!'???!!u are not his COUNCELLOR to tell him wat to do!! accept what he had done in the past and forget it!! everybody has some flawsss...its just one of his' ..CHILL!

We will still support Jiyong. You will come out strong after this phase in your life and we will be able to see all 5 of you rockin the stage again.. God bless..

if those people in Korea treats him like that right now, we iVIPs are here!!!! we are very open-minded!!! GD is NOT addicted! waaaaah! TToTT JiYong-oppa, FIGHTING~!!!!

no~!
gd not like tht....please..he just make one mistake and all his fan run away..who had run away..u should not be his fans fromm long2 time ago..just because he got trouble all his fans want to throw him..please set in your mind no one perfect okay~!!!!!!!!!
if u at his shoe..what u feel when your fans run away when u got problem like this..SO THINK BEFORE U TALK BAD ABOUT HIM..U DUNT WANT TO BE HIS FANS ANYMORE JUST GO AWAY...CAUSE HE DUNT NEED FANS LIKE THT..V.I.P ALWAYS BESIDE HIM..WE LOVE U..

thank you
"I don’t care what, and i don’t care how. but I want the injustice done
to him and the reason behind it to be seen plainly and clearly by
everyone, not just in korea, but EVERYWHERE. Make them get the
punishment they deserve instead of hiding behind GD who is taking more
punishment than he deserves."
I agree!

For those wondering why this issue was released only now, read this: http://orangieland.tumblr.com/post/11056480963/the-cost-of-gds-reputation

some of those netizen comments are WAY OVER THE TOP

he didn't murder a child, or rob and old lady - HE SMOKED WEED

I'm not condoning it, I hate any form of drug abuse - but at the same time it's the "norm" in the music business. Sadly.

GD oppa, if Korea don't want you - come to the UK we would love to have you here!!!!!!!!!!! xDD

lately, I was really disappointed when i saw some videos in youtube about GD and TOp's smoking clips.. since I never knew they smoke.. til now, I came from school and opened this, I was greatly surprised to see an article of this..

at first when i read the article, TAEYANG's twit came into my mind and made sense. GOD, does it mean that YB really see this scandal as not a mere "incident".. could it be that GD did smoked MJ? i dunno.I don't know if i had to believe this article this time but if GD did smoked MJ, I AM STILL A HUGE FAN OF BIGBANG AND GD regardless of this issues.

Oh my Gosh, what's wrong with me? I want to cry... 
G-Dragon, I love you just the way you are.

OMG
what the fans said like this to  GD T_T
whatever, i don't care about this n i'm 4ever fans ^_^
^stay strong
