The drug investigation ends in nothing... Lee Sun-kyun without physical evidence, confident G-Dragon

The police drug investigation has made little progress as the arrest warrants for actor Lee Sun-kyun (48), who is suspected of drug use, and Mr. B (42), a practicing doctor who is accused of giving drugs to group Big Bang's G-Dragon (35, real name Kwon Ji-yong), were dismissed. It looks difficult.

On the 27th, the Incheon District Court's Warrant Tribunal (Chief Judge Gyu-hoon Lee) responded to Mr. The arrest warrant was dismissed, saying, “It is difficult to acknowledge the need for arrest when considering housing, occupation, family relationships, etc.”

The police are experiencing difficulties in their investigation as they failed to secure the identity of Mr. B, who is suspected of giving drugs to Lee Sun-kyun and G-Dragon. The police's drug investigation, which stated at a regular meeting on the 13th, "This case is a situation where we don't know if it will be life or death, but it was known before it was even put on the fire," is ultimately heading towards a conclusion that will lead to death.

The police are being criticized for conducting an unreasonable investigation based solely on the testimony of Mr. A (29, female, arrested), the manager of a Gangnam entertainment establishment. At a regular press conference held on the 27th, a high-ranking official at the National Police Agency said, "It is true that we have received a negative report (as a result of the detailed analysis), but there are some details that require additional investigation," and "It is clear that drugs were administered under various circumstances." "If so, I don't think it's right to send the case to non-indictment just because it's completely negative. The conclusion is reserved," he said. At the same time, he explained that in some cases, a person was found guilty when the circumstances of drug use were clear, regardless of the results of the detailed analysis.

However, the police, who currently do not have tangible physical evidence, must only prove the charges with Mr. A's statement. Lee Sun-gyun's side responded to the claim by saying, "It is not fact, but malicious slander," and "The drug use itself may not be true." revealed. Many eyes are focused on whether the police will be able to send an indictment opinion amid confrontational claims without physical evidence.

Meanwhile, G-Dragon strongly denied the charges ever since the fact that he was booked was made public, and voluntarily appeared at the police station and submitted urine, hair, finger and toenails, etc. The results of the National Forensic Service in this regard also all came back negative, and it is said that the police are likely to end the 'non-transportation' of G-Dragon without any additional summons. G-Dragon claims his innocence through interviews with the media, while also showing a confident stance through active social media activities.

Previously, G-Dragon also called for “the prompt announcement of the results of the investigative agency.” Person A, who testified about G-Dragon's drug use, is said to have recently changed his stance, saying, "I did not see it in person. Another actor who came with G-Dragon may have made it."
