Lee Sun-kyun summoned to the police for two weeks in a row vs. G-Dragon, please show up to the police

The police will re-summon actor Lee Sun-gyun (48) on the 4th. On the other hand, G-Dragon (35, real name Kwon Ji-yong) will appear voluntarily on the 6th and participate in the investigation on drug charges.

According to the legal community, the police will summon Lee Seon-kyun again on the afternoon of the 4th of next month to interrogate Lee Sun-gyun, who returned home an hour after submitting reagent tests and hair and urine samples at the time of his first summons.

Previously, in the first summons investigation conducted on the 28th, Lee Sun-gyun received a negative reagent test result. However, it is said that this test is only conducted within a maximum of 10 days. The police sent Lee Seon-kyun's hair and urine to the National Institute of Forensic Science (National Forensic Service) to further analyze his past history. We plan to proceed as an 'urgent' matter in order to receive a quick appraisal result.

The police's position is that they will first secure Lee Seon-gyun's statement before the National Forensic Service's detailed analysis results are released, which will take at least two weeks. It is said that they are also considering applying for an arrest warrant depending on whether Lee Sun-kyun admits to the charges and the number of times he has used drugs.

Seon-gyun Lee is suspected of taking drugs with Mr. A (29, female) at her home. Mr. A is currently under arrest and has a criminal record of being sentenced to prison for drug use several times in the past. Even before he was arrested for this incident, a quick test reportedly revealed a large amount of psychotropic drugs.

Meanwhile, Big Bang's G-Dragon voluntarily appeared at the police station on November 6th and said he would submit his body hair and urine.

On the 31st, G-Dragon's legal representative, lawyer Kim Soo-hyun of the law firm K-One Chamber, said, "In order to conduct the investigation quickly and fairly, Kwon Ji-yong decided to voluntarily appear before the drug crime investigation unit of the Incheon Police Agency's metropolitan investigation unit on November 6 and actively participate in the investigation."

At the same time, he said, “We hope that the press and media will also take a responsible attitude to prevent irreparable damage to Kwon Ji-yong, Korea’s representative K-POP artist, due to the spread of unfounded false information.” “We will take extreme action against speculative reports by spreading false information and defamation until the end,” he added.

Previously, on the 25th, the drug crime investigation unit of the Incheon Police Agency caused a stir by revealing that it had booked G-Dragon and was investigating him for violating the law on drug management.

Accordingly, on the 27th, G-Dragon claimed, "I have never taken drugs," and emphasized, "This has nothing to do with the news reports about 'violation of the Narcotics Control Act' that were recently released to the media."

On the 30th, he rejected the charges again and raised his voice, saying, "This morning, I appointed a lawyer and submitted a voluntary appearance form along with the senior team to the drug crime investigation unit of the Incheon Police Agency Metropolitan Investigation Division." He said he wanted to be investigated quickly and resolve the injustice. There is a bar.

Lee Sun-gyun has been subject to police investigation for two consecutive weeks as the police are speeding up their drug investigation into him. On the other hand, G-Dragon has come forward to be investigated by the police. Attention is focused on the different actions of the two people who are facing the same range of charges. However, since it is still in the investigation stage and the charges have not been confirmed, it is difficult to judge the results quickly. It remains to be seen what kind of investigation results the two will ultimately accept.
