Full Report of G-Dragon's Military Scandal (2019) | Scouter Report 

I totally agree with you. This goes beyond his knee injuries or any other physical situation. The investigation must have been about his mental health. This country needs so much help regarding mental health but not much is being done. Even I, as a foreigner in Korea sometimes get depressed and I have no idea how to handle it or where to look for help. It's serious. Celebrities have it rough too. I don't think just because he is the amazing G Dragon he's gonna be having an easy time in the military. He's human just like the other people serving.

'Can Koreans just understand that celebrities are humans too?' It's not just the Koreans, even though I think that the Korean Media sometimes is a bit more dramatic than other countries when it comes to things like scandals and the 'who is dating who' question. But if you look at fans from other countries and what they want from their idols and celebrities, there really isn't much of a different, sadly.

Yes, they're human too. I always think that knetizen are over and cannot be tolerated.

I think so too.if you watch hello counselor(korean tv show).there is a problem that causing by the people have depression or mental health.but i think they didnt aware and think about that this way and only blame their behaviour.its frustrated when them cannot identify the real causes for the problem and just take it lightly

@@sitiaishah8132 I WISH Knetz were over

ines hclexo exactly

ines hclexo why would he be with a girl that wants someone to spy on him??! Wtf

Maria C he’s talking about the spyer’s girlfriend not GD’s...

Azn oh LMAO

his girl friend is After school singer , now actress

@@melharhyth-offline8056 Exactly, it's just cold, hard fact.

5 feet after apart cos they not gay

@@aspiringeyecandy4856 What does have to do being gay or not? He is Gay and so what? Doesn't mean because he is Gay he can't hold a riffle and perform his duties. During my National service in Italy, I did enrolled as a Police Officer for two years because that was my mandatory duties since I did chose the Police forces and they knew I was Gay but didn't treat me less that any one else. Actually I had more sexual experiences in the Police Forces with gorgeous guys then ever, and I love it.

Und was nützt es? Wenn Nordkorea Raketen schießt, werden ja wohl kaum halb-trainierte Eingezogene antreten. Wir sind nicht mehr in den 50ern, auch für Kriege braucht es heute kaum Menschen. @Esra aaa

Natürlich befindet sich Südkorea in einer besonderen Situation. Nichtsdestotrotz hat eine Militärpflicht etliche negative Auswirkungen auf die Betroffenen. Insbesondere wenn damit Nationalstolz verbunden ist und jmd der durch dieses Raster fällt, Ausgrenzung zu befürchten hat.

@@mynameisana09 Alter... ich lebe seit 7 Monaten in Korea und wenn ich etwas gemerkt habe, dass die Leute hier nicht durch so ne lächerlichen Sachen, wie Nationalstolz krank werden... wir deutschen sind einfach ein Volk von Weicheiern geworden. Vorallem was beschwerst du dich über den Dienst an der Waffe? Du würdest sowieso nicht eingezogen werden lol

@@xfranczeskax Und das was du von dir gibst ist absoluter Schwachsinn. Schau dir mal Syrien oder die anderen bombadierten Staaten an. Ist der Krieg dadurch vorbei? Nein, man braucht mehr und mehr Soldaten um nur die Sicherheit zu halten. Zumal hat NKorea ein Militär, dass auf tausenden von Soldaten ausgelegt ist. Dagegen muss SKorea bis zum eintreffen der Nato gewappnet sein.

Max Du hast gar nicht verstanden was ich sagte. Ich jammer nicht, ich bin emphatisch denen gegenüber die sich gezwungen fühlen Wehrdienst zu leisten. Wenn du HURRA schreist, weil du zur Armee darfst, freut mich das für dich. Nur sind nicht Männer gleich Weicheier und Verräter, wenn sie das nicht wollen.

so the military is the PERFECT place for him. (all about focus and not too many distractions) + physical exercise and a strict schedule with lots of rest. (and not drug parties and photographers)

I feel so sorry for Jiyong 😭 He doesn’t deserve this 💔💔💔

Fatima-zahra I don't understand knetz sometimes. They hold idols to an impossible and unrealistic standard and they forget that they are humans too. It's so sad. And I always wonder how the Korean government has time to get caught up in idols scandals. Aren't there more important things??????

@@jpjay1584 he said music is O2

@@jpjay1584 your comment appears to me to be a little simplistic, naive and possibly libelous. 1. Physical exercise - probably the cause of the worsening of G Dragon's long term ankle injury. 2. Not too many distractions - G. Dragon is a naturally shy person. Going into an environment where probably everybody has already heard of you and already formed an opinion of you based on media reports, (maybe like you?) is going to be even more challenging than if you arrive as an unknown person. Most people don't react around celebrities in the same way as they do around others. E.g. a fellow soldier made a diary on him, including very personal information, and it ended up online! One of my school friends appeared as a child in a short TV series. This spread around the school and even though her "fame" was very minor compared to G Dragons, it affected how many people saw her. Jealousy, envy, judgemental, dislike, curiosity, wanting to put her down, wanting to become her best "friend." A lot more to deal with than if he had joined as an unknown person. Even you have put drug parties in your comment, implying that was his normal lifestyle prior to joining the army - based on what!!!??? A media story from years before - that was shown through evidence to be non-intentional and extremely slight? Additionally, G Dragon has a history of depression, which would make this experience even harder for him. I have read of many celebrities who have much lesser concerns, who go straight into the public service route. Add on the mental stress of knowing that your close friend has tried to commit suicide and the other external factors that would affect him. Although it is a privilege to be able to support your country in this way, and soldiers that complete this service have a right to be proud of their achievement, I have never heard of anyone who said it was easy. You make it sound like a resort!

not that special lol, issues in korea are mostly called scandal.

Kwon Eunbi like most developed countries, the media rarely focus on the important stuff.

Park Bom was involved in a drug "scandal" a few years back too. She brought Adderall or something over from the U.S., where she got the prescription, and she was taking it for ADHD or something like that. They framed her as a drug-addict. I think GD or another k-pop artist was involved in another "scandal" because of some lewd dancing with a woman on stage with a bed prop. Korea's hype with "scandals" is ridiculous imo.

Lol

Jae Lee same 🤠

I like your profile pic 😂

Jae Lee if he was sleeping next to me i might not wakeup deceased

-Oof

Being able to speak two languages is pretty common though.

@@Cookiemonster456 im not very familliar with this channel, but im assuming based on what the original commenter said this person maybe learnt english later on his on? maybe idk

@@Cookiemonster456 I use to teach English in Korea so I'm impressed with his fluency, not every Korean national is this good...his organization of thought, use of idioms, and unforced speed is awesome.

Sounds like a very condescending thing to say.

@@gigihadid3745 it was meant to be a compliment. I'm just admiring his execution of the language. As someone who studies other lanaguages, I really enjoy seeing people flex their skills in their 2nd, 3rd, etc language.

I agree. I hated sharing my room with a three year old and his overly aggressive mother. It was not a great environment to get better in. I can see it being the same for G-Dragon.

Uhmmm ya mean hiGHH KEY FRIKin out, bc if gd were to sleep in the same room w me, I would.

Honey Lemon oh on the inside I’d be screaming like how Jojo Siwa sounds on a regular. But I’d be too afraid to bother him

Hannah K they kept finding things to bring him down .

lmao

So the celebrity didnt finish the military or not

@@ardanormm7490 finished. Was supposed to perform at Coachella with 3 other members but COVID-19 happened.

Hannah K thanks ti covid 19 for stop the entertainment

@Dindinmoshi Yu of course I know the history behind it but just because you know the history doesn't mean you really understand the cultural importance. And I'm not trying to say it shouldn't exist but it's true that a lot of us will never really know just how ignorant this subject is in Korea so it nice to see a Korean persons perspective on an issue that many international fans were saying was overblown by the media. Because we will never really have that perspective it's nice to get that perspective so we all get more of a glimpse into Korean culture.

K*Ships in K*Chups I’m sorry I don’t understand what you are trying to say?

when he would go live on Instagram it was obvious he was depressed. I feel for him

K*Ships in K*Chups sorry! I misunderstood! 😅

But during motte world tour in manila philippines and in malaysia i didnt see any sign of depression she is smiling giggling and laughing while performing with dara

Lu tian xing depression doesn’t mean that you are sad and crying all the time. Most of the people that are depressed don’t even show it to people. They look happy and normal like everyone else. It’s the way people act and think when they are alone, you can tell if a person is really depressed. Gd has said in many interviews that after concerts he always feels very lonely and also when he is alone he feels very empty. He also lost a lot of weight due to stress. If you watch motte the movie, you can tell how much stressed he was and kinda tell how he was feeling. Sorry for writing so much, I also want to say that this is my own opinion and understanding of him based on what he was going through. Hope you understood~

yea true... my ears bleeding

Yeah I only watched a third of the vid because my ears hurt if I tried to hear him >>

We call it equality. Being some sort of famous doesnt give you benefits in the military.

What i didn't state and should have, Was more of understanding that perhaps he struggling with something that we may not see and maybe some of those days were taken just because he wasn't in the right frame of mind and should have been on active duty to begin with. We have a huge problem here in the US of soldiers struggling with depression and anxiety and not getting treatment for it but because the military over there will not disclose why he had those days we don't know if maybe he was getting treatment for something or if he was just trying to fart around. In any case that's between him and his commanders it's not up to us to judge. Of course I don't think there should be special treatment because everybody in the military is military no matter what but as long as they were approved that he to and he took the right steps then we can't say whether it's right or wrong.

@Ilerre i actually watched act iii: motte the other night and as a teacher, i was like, "damn, if ever there was a kid with ADD and vast amounts of artistic talent, that's one right there." He also seemed to be struggling with anxiety. I think his artistic side gives him the outlet as therapy for it. I just don't feel everyone is meant for military service. IMHO, this is not a person i'd recommend for active duty. But that's just me. I like the idea of mandatory service in theory but, in practice, there should be alternatives to military.

@Ilerre youre describing him like he is doing some sort of heroism. Only kpop fans think of that.

@@Written_in_the_Starssnope. Just teachers brain. I work with young children with severe emotional issues daily. And i have anxiety too. So it's easy to recognize. It takes a strong person to battle a hidden illness and push through. Not everyone has coping mechanisms. Put yourself in the shoes of someone who has basically been working and sheltered for their entire life. They don't know what it's like in the real world. We all have struggles- paying bills, parenting, etc. These idols get groomed to be perfect from early adolescence. Part of my job is to teach coping mechanisms and be real with my kids. But if you have a kid that's had those struggles hidden, he/she wil not be able to function in society at large. Honestly, i have huge issues with kid stars, even in the US. I can tell you how so many former child stars here have committed suicide or ODed because they couldn't handle real life once the fame and money were gone. All these idols being forced into the reality of life for everyone else in such a drastic way (joining the military is a big deal), is no joke. It's a literal shock to the system. If they have previously undiagnosed mental issues, it can lead to severe trauma and stress and have life changing effects. We have enough psychos over here shooting up schools and churches that it's a huge societal issue. That's why i stay doing my job. Mental health is not taken seriously enough all over the world and opening up the conversation about how real that stuff can be is more important than anyone's perfect image.

What about cleaning your ears first?

@Eleonora Ruoppo that was a joke, but i should have stated it more clear

라정숙 it wasn’t a very funny joke and I don’t think ur “joke” really belongs here..there’s a time and place and u saying that just sounded rude

@@koreascoutertv3004 wow. Thank you for the rank. And thank you for replying as well. Take your time :)) thank you again

Yesss i wanna know too...

The SOPA video is going up today! Again, thanks for giving me suggestions 😀

Wow so SOPA is the last? Children being molested but seungri is more important?

Is he now? I hope he will be back on " Music scene! Missed him!

wait he’s discharged? :o

prolly made a script or outline of what he will say so he isn't just sitting there mumbling and thinking about what to say the whole time

Excatly. He even has a 'black card' one of the few Koreans who have it. That sure he's a high profiled dudee

like I'm sorry but Korea is/was not the only country in the world having similar geopolitical situation. If you really want to prepare for war, in TWENTY FIRST CENTURY, you start with including women too. Let's start from there. I'm just gonna remind that alternative service exists too. And to country which do not have such big man power as let's say US, it would be wise to ged rid of patriarchal remnants and start to do some changes. Being not Korean doesn't have anything to do with your inability to form an opinion on political matters.

as a women I feel like treating women as useless soldier's home wives do not bring any good when women can learn a lot of ways how to serve as for example medical support. or SELF-DEFENCE for starters because we all know what happens with women during the fuxking war.

Lithuania.Is.NOT.Russia ugh I already know they aren’t smh, but am I talking about the other countries involved? No I am on a Korean Video. Women in Korea have the choice to serve the army or not, so it’s entirely up to them and in my opinion they shouldn’t be forced. I’m being old fashioned with they should stay home and look after the children or elders, because who else would? That is saving too, you don’t have to carry a gun to save lives. Little things matter too. If these women want to serve the army then they can, it is open for them but to make it compulsory for ‘equality’ is stupid.

There's a reason woman are not the first choice for battle. If captured, their punishments are far worse than any man could ever receive. Woman are simply built differently. After puberty men develop muscle fibers are thicker and develop extra muscle groups on their bodies. Making them naturally stronger and faster. Combat between a man and woman is an unfair match, which is why men can go to jail for hitting a women. It's just common sense why women should not be at the forefront.

On top of the fact women in the military have a higher increase chance of being raped and or beaten. SKorea is not known for having amazing protection of women's rights. Women in the military shouldn't even been on the list of things that country needs to focus on and change. Their healthcare system should be top priority.

It has nothing to do with integrity. It's mandatory because they were first military ran and were in a consistent state of war for over 50 years with Nkorea. USA used to have mandatory enrollment. Most countries activate it when their country is in a consistent state of war. They would never inactivate it because 2 communist countries that surround them, they've already went to war with. It's to help prepare them, since that country crumbled and would have been defeated if it wasn't for the US. It's to assure the survival of that country against any other foreign entity, since they are in a vulnerable position with where that country is located and who surrounds them. It's not integrity or respect.... it's for survival of the democracy of that country. Even though it's crappy at protecting the women.

Just like every other issue, it depends on the person. Not everyone in Korea is in love with the idea of going to the army. Some consider it a great honor.

Christina G ik its mandatory but people in korea dont just look it as something they need to do Maybe i didnt convey my point well I meant to say that people there think of it as an achievment they go there try their best and its not something like a chire its their duty and they take pride in it as its something they r doing for their country and alot of people out of korea living in countrues who dont have this madatory service dont understand what it means to them on a patriotic level

JLynnEchelon ofc thats tru i shouldnt generalise anyone but i was just tryna point out that many people think of it as an honour :)

I get the basic ideas of mandatory military service and the pride of serving (my aunt wanted to be pilot in the navy so much she lied about having seizures and got dishonorably discharged for lying, but still talks proudly about being in the military), I think the issue is there are some things that don't click just on a human level. like gdragon had his ankle injury beforehand and it was known to be chronic, in the U.S. even during a draft he would be put in non-active duty job or depending on severity wouldn't be admitted at all. Then if an injury that severe happened during service they might be put in the reserves while they heal or discharged in case putting someone back out on duty would make the injury worse again. For G-dragon specifically it seems like he should have been put in a desk job like t.o.p instead of back on duty where he could injure his ankle again and the fact that this stuff keeps coming up for g-dragon is like forcing him to continue on active duty and that could completely destroy his leg
