“Celebrities booked on drug charges” Will something big happen again? Drug scandal 'full wave'
On the 25th, the Incheon Police Agency announced that it had booked two additional celebrities and was investigating them on charges of violating the law on drug management.
It is reported that the police caught the drug charges of Mr. A and B while investigating the case in which Lee Sun-gyun's drug charges arose. This is a separate case unrelated to the drug case involving Lee Sun-kyun.
In addition, the police announced on the 24th that they were investigating A, a female composer in her 30s. However, it is said that A's name only came up during the investigation and the charges were not specifically identified. It is known that A is a close friend of Mr. Han, one of the victims, and has already been sentenced to prison on drug charges. The names of two unknown people, including Hwang, the third generation of a chaebol, are on the list of those who died.
Meanwhile, the Incheon Police Agency's drug crime investigation unit booked Lee Sun-gyun without detention on the 24th, adding the charge of psychotropic drugs to marijuana 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.
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. One news outlet also caused a stir when it reported an interview with Lee Seon-gyu, in which an official from an entertainment establishment said, "I come here often," and "Usually no one comes. I don't know what happens in the room. Something bigger could break out."
Currently, Lee Sun-kyun has neither admitted nor denied the drug use charges. In a phone call with Ten Asia, lawyer Park Seong-cheol of Jipyong Law Firm was asked whether Lee Sun-kyun admits or denies the charges, and only said once again, "We will faithfully undergo the police investigation." At the same time, when asked about the timing of the summons for police investigation, he added, "I have not been contacted directly yet," and "nothing has been decided at the moment."
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.
