SEOUL, June 1 (Yonhap) -- Police said Thursday they have arrested T.O.P. from popular boy band BIGBANG on charges of smoking marijuana in October last year.
The 28-year-old rapper tested positive for marijuana use, according to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency. It was not confirmed whether he smoked the banned substance habitually.
