G-Dragon Hires New Law Firm, Triggering Massive Netizen Uproar
G-Dragon’s unexpected legal move has Korean netizens buzzing as the star’s agency announces they’re hiring one of the country’s most prestigious law firms.
This week, Galaxy Corporation released a detailed statement on G-Dragon’s official website, revealing that they’ve hired Yulchon LLC to handle all legal proceedings regarding malicious content about the BIGBANG rapper. The agency made it clear they’d be “pursuing every possible civil and criminal action” against defamatory posts and false information.
The statement emphasized their zero-tolerance approach, stating there will be “no leniency or settlements under any circumstances.” Galaxy Corporation also specifically warned that they’ll take action against anyone using G-Dragon’s real name, initials, nicknames, or any other references in connection with illegal activities.
News of the hiring triggered a massive reaction on the Korean community site Pann in a discussion post that racked up over 100,000 views.
Netizens were overwhelmingly supportive of the decision, with many praising Galaxy Corporation’s choice to hire Yulchon LLC specifically. Yulchon LLC was the only Korean law firm recognized as one of Asia’s top legal practices by the Financial Times this year, with their lawyers representing major clients like Hyundai and Samsung.
Others expressed their satisfaction that G-Dragon is finally taking a firm stance after years of enduring malicious comments. One netizen suggested that the rapper had chosen to take legal action now not for himself, “but for the fans.”
- “✨ ‘Galaxy Corporation is pursuing every possible civil and criminal action against all forms of illegal activity, including the use of the Artist’s real name, initials, nicknames, abbreviations, and any other references implying the Artist. We stress that there will be no leniency or settlements under any circumstances.’ ✨ There must be a lot of people here who are about to get contacted too lol. Hope you’ve saved up plenty of money.”
- “Finally, they’re doing it. I support this even more because he’s not even doing this lawsuit for himself but for the fans. He must have been suffering too, but he endured it for 19 years thinking it was just the fate of being a celebrity. But since the fans really wanted it, and people even started dragging his friends into it and harassing them, it seems like he’s made up his mind. I really hope they catch those groups who systematically write false posts on communities to get views.”
- “Because G-Dragon didn’t sue anyone for 19 years, the level of the malicious commenters has gone way too far. From now on, let’s do large-scale lawsuits on a regular basis. The fact that it’s Yulchon is insane.”
- “Wow, if it’s Yulchon, that’s literally the best in the industry. They say they even do their own monitoring and actively use fan-provided evidence too, so now it’s just a matter of waiting for those deranged haters to get caught.”
- “G-Dragon, let’s respond strongly to those deranged haters without any leniency lol. Feels so refreshing. A lot of people are probably about to get criminal records.”
The star’s no-nonsense approach to hate comments has been a surprising shift, given that he’s avoided suing for almost two decades. Previously, fans only got glimpses of G-Dragon’s frustrations — like when he showed support for those forwarding malicious comments to his lawyers during his 2023 drug abuse allegations.
Galaxy Corporation has confirmed they’re actively monitoring all channels and using fan-submitted evidence as key material in their legal response, crediting fans for their help in identifying instances of defamation.
