Seon-kyun Lee, National Forensic Service analysis of 100 strands of hair was negative... “I haven’t used drugs for at least 10 months.”

Actor Lee Sun-kyun (48), who is suspected of drug use, received a negative hair analysis result.

According to SBS 8 News on the afternoon of the 3rd, the National Institute of Forensic Science (National Forensic Service) analyzed Lee Seon-gyun's hair and received a negative result. This means that no drugs were taken.

Through 8News, a National Forensic Service official said, "As a result of collecting and analyzing 100 strands of about 10cm of Lee Seon-gyun's hair, all sections were negative," adding, "This means that he did not use drugs at least 8 to 10 months ago."

However, it was believed that there was still a possibility that Lee Seon-gyun took the medication 10 months ago, when he claimed to have received blackmail threats from Mr. A (29, female), the manager of a Gangnam entertainment establishment.

The official also explained these results, saying, "It does not mean that he did not smoke marijuana," and added, "There may be things that interfere with the investigation, such as discoloration."

Lee Sun-kyun has remained silent regarding drug use charges.

Previously, Lee Seon-gyun received a negative result from a simple reagent test conducted on the 28th. However, because this prosecutor can only analyze the history up to 10 days ago, the police sent Lee Seon-gyun's hair and urine to the National Forensic Service for an emergency analysis.

Meanwhile, Lee Sun-gyun will appear at Incheon Nonhyeon Police Station in Namdong-gu, Incheon on the afternoon of the 4th and receive a second summons from the police. Seon-gyun Lee is suspected of taking drugs with Mr. A at Mr. A's home.
