Police Raid YG Entertainment Headquarters Over G-Dragon Copyright Case
South Korean police have carried out a raid on YG Entertainment’s headquarters in Seoul as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged copyright infringement involving K-pop star G-Dragon and the company’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk.
The case traces back to a complaint filed in late 2024 by a composer identified only as “Mr. A,” who claims a song he created was used without his consent more than a decade ago. According to him, the track was reworked into a medley performed during G-Dragon’s 2009 concert and later included on his 2010 live album Shine a Light.
This is the second police raid on YG in connection to the matter, with investigators said to be gathering documents and questioning individuals linked to the song’s production. Authorities have not released further details, but confirmed the investigation is still active.
YG Entertainment has rejected the accusations, insisting the issue stems from a misunderstanding. They explained that during the 2009 concert preparations, there were two completely different songs sharing the same title, which may have caused the confusion.

Aliko Dangote speaks on his lineage and addresses not having a son as he was asked about not having a son to carry his name and achievements.

Instead, he shared that he does not mind not having a son. “I don’t think a son would have done better than the three daughters I have.”

Nigerian economist Bismarck Rewane advises Nigerians financially, sharing that Nigerians should engage in the Dangote Refinery initial public offering (IPO). He stated that it was a good investment.
