It has belatedly been confirmed that the copyright infringement case involving singer G-Dragon and YG Entertainment Executive Producer Yang Hyun-suk has been concluded with a disposition of no charges.

Police cleared the two individuals, who had been accused of violating the Copyright Act, of all charges last April.

In 2024, a composer identified as A filed a complaint, claiming that YG used a song they composed for G-Dragon's solo concert without consent and included it under a different title on a live concert album released in 2010.

Police conducted investigations, even executing a search and seizure at YG's headquarters, but ultimately concluded that the charges could not be substantiated.
