KUALA LUMPUR: Despite being enlisted in the military for just for a few months now, BigBang member G-Dragon continues to make headlines in the media.
The most recent controversy that rocked the 29-year-old was that he was accused of getting preferential treatment at a military hospital following an ankle injury.
It was reported that G-Dragon stays in a VIP hospital room with air-conditioning, a fridge and a TV, a privilege that is supposedly reserved for higher ranking soldiers.
YG Entertainment, G-Dragon’s agency issued a statement denying the accusations.
“There was no special treatment, there is no room for colonels at the hospital, and he was hospitalised following the normal procedure,” according to the agency.
“Since before his enlistment, G-Dragon expressed pain due to a dislocated shoulder and sprained his ankle constantly during the world tour, and his condition worsened further during military training.
According to the agency, the examination results showed a serious condition as bone fragments were damaging his ligaments and muscles, causing an infection.
“We are aware that he was recommended a large university hospital rather than the military hospital and went for a surgery.”
Get well soon, G-Dragon!
