Actor Lee Sun-gyun (48), who is suspected of drug use, is being exposed in detail. Ahead of Lee Seon-gyun's summons, the police begin to secure evidence through body searches and cell phone forensics.
On the 24th, the Incheon Police Agency's drug crime investigation unit booked Lee Seon-gyun without detention on the charge of psychotropic drugs in addition to marijuana under the Narcotics Management Act. Police believe that Lee Seon-gyun misused not only drugs such as marijuana, but also anesthetics and sleeping pills used for medical purposes.
As Lee Sun-kyun has been converted into a suspect, the police will soon summon Lee Sun-kyun for questioning. Prior to this, in order to secure evidence and conduct interrogation smoothly, it is expected that Lee Seon-gyun's urine and hair will be collected through search and seizure and submitted to the National Forensic Service for analysis. In addition, Seon-kyun Lee's cell phone will be confiscated and a digital forensic investigation will be conducted.
The police announced that they had obtained specific clues about Lee Seon-gyun, who was an internal suspect, and had converted him into a suspect. At the same time, they had arrested Madam A (29, female) of the entertainment establishment. Lee Sun-kyun is suspected of taking marijuana and other drugs with Mr. A at Mr. A's home in Seoul. The police are investigating Lee Sun-kyun, believing he has used various types of drugs, not just marijuana.
In particular, Mr. A is the same person as the blackmailer who claims that Lee Seon-kyun has been continuously blackmailed and threatened. The exact reason why Mr. A threatened him is unknown, but the prevailing speculation is that it was a drug-related revelation, as Lee Sun-kyun is a top star. The police understand that Lee Seon-kyun was threatened by Mr. A and other gang members and gave them about 350 million won.
Ms. B, a female employee in her 20s who worked at the same entertainment establishment as Ms. A, was also booked without detention like Seon-gyun Lee. In addition, those who have been convicted of drug use include Mr. C, a third-generation chaebol family member, Mr. D, a singer trainee, and Mr. E, a composer who is close to Mr. D. However, the police said that the charges against Mr. C, D, and E were not specific.
In addition to this incident, there was also talk that Lee Sun-kyun was a VIP at an entertainment establishment that only 1% of people entered. In one news report, an entertainment company official said of Lee Seon-gyu, “He came here often,” and “Usually no one comes.” I don't know what happens in the room. It caused a stir when it reported an interview saying, “Something bigger could explode.”
Meanwhile, Lee Sun-kyun voluntarily withdrew from the drama 'No Way Out', which had been cast and scheduled to be filmed due to the aftermath of drug charges. In addition, the movies 'Escape: Project Silence' and 'Land of Happiness' are also paying attention to the direction of events in an awkward situation ahead of their release.
