MBC and HYBE end long-standing dispute

ENHYPEN is expected to be among the first groups to feature on upcoming MBC programs.

The ongoing drug-related investigation involving BIGBANG’s G-Dragon has seen a new update. His legal representatives have stepped forward to shed light on the matter. It should be noted that G-Dragon has firmly denied any involvement. His legal team is ensuring full cooperation with the authorities to clear his name and address the allegations.
