According to police, the complaint alleged that the composer’s track “G-DRAGON” was altered into “My Age Is 13” and later included in a medley on G-Dragon’s live album Shine a Light under the title “My Age Is 13 + Storm + Hip Hop Gentlemen + G-Dragon.” Investigators have conducted two separate search and seizures during the ongoing investigation, with at least one reportedly targeting YG Entertainment’s offices.

  • “If we wait, something will come out. If you don’t know the situation, it’s best to stay quiet.”
  • “They must have had a reason to do it, so why overreact? lol”
  • “When they do something this extreme in a case like this, there’s usually a reason behind it.”
  • “The term ‘search and seizure’ sounds intimidating, but apparently it can just mean things like the police coming for an investigation and taking your computer because they’re worried about evidence being destroyed. It might just be handing over a hard drive—not like it’s an arrest warrant. It’s not as grand as it sounds.”
  • “They’re doing a search and seizure over this…?”
  • “You don’t get a warrant easily. Stop adding unnecessary comments—just wait instead of saying it’s too much or not.”

Many were also surprised that the alleged incident dates back more than a decade, raising questions about why it is only being addressed now.

  • “Feels like the prosecution just wants to keep making noise about GD~ Since the drug thing didn’t work out, maybe they got an order to dig into anything they can find.”
  • “The whole thing is petty, but the fact that they filed the complaint right before his comeback is the pettiest part lol”
  • “It’s a song that wasn’t even registered for copyright, and they’re suing over something from more than 20 years ago… honestly impressive. Funny thing is, in old interviews, the person suing used to praise GD endlessly. Maybe they ran out of money.”
  • “When did they even do the search and seizure? And YG got searched twice, but meanwhile HYBE kept getting their requests rejected—that’s ridiculous lol”
