'PD Notebook', which aims to look back on the last 70 days of the late actor Lee Sun-kyun, focused on the police investigation process and direction related to the drug case.

MBC's current affairs and culture program 'PD Notebook', which aired on the 16th, looked back on the last 70 days of the late Lee Sun-kyun. What 'PD Notebook' mainly pointed out was the issues of 'announcement of bloody facts' and 'building police performance'.

On this day's broadcast, Mr. A, the first person to report the drug scandal involving the late Lee Sun-kyun, appeared and confessed, "I reported it because of my girlfriend, but the target shifted to Lee Sun-kyun and Mr. Kim." Mr. Kim (30, female, arrested) is the manager of an entertainment establishment and is the person at the core of the drug scandal.

The broadcast covered the circumstances in which Lee Sun-kyun was booked and the investigation process. The first time the Incheon Police Agency's drug crime investigation unit investigated Mr. Kim on drug charges was on October 19 last year, and the newspaper ended at around 2:19 p.m. that day. At around 5:17 PM, less than three hours later, Lee Sun-kyun's internal investigation on drug charges was first reported. Afterwards, Lee Seon-gyun's real name was identified. The fact of the blood was made public even before the person was booked. Attorney Baek Min, who appeared on a broadcast related to this, said, "In this case, the statement of the person involved was made public to the media without being booked. This is very unusual."

He also pointed out the wrong direction of the police investigation. The police booked Lee Sun-kyun based on Kim's statement, and focused on proving Lee Sun-kyun's charges, mentioning his name 196 times in 11 interrogations of the suspect. Furthermore, it is pointed out that even though Lee Seon-gyun received a negative result in a simple urine test and a detailed hair and body hair test, effectively losing the momentum of the investigation, the police continued the investigation and used coercion.

Some say that the reason the police had no choice but to stick to Lee Sun-kyun's case was because G-Dragon was not sent to the case. Bae Sang-hoon, a professor at the Department of Police Administration at Woosuk University, said, "It must have been difficult for the police as G-Dragon was not sent. They investigated a real star named G-Dragon, but nothing was found." Attorney Bae Han-jin, a former drug investigation prosecutor, also said, "Kwon Ji-yong, who was also in the line of investigation, must have been under pressure because he was not sent to the case. It could have been seen as an excessive investigation."

We also pointed out the police investigation that did not follow procedures. Lee Sun-kyun was stopped in the photo line each time he was summoned by the police. Lee Sun-gyun requested through his lawyer a ‘private appearance through an underground parking lot’, but the police responded that ‘it may not look good’.

Attorney Baek Min said, "It is normal for an investigation to be kept confidential. I think the reason for conducting a show investigation is to pressure the investigation party through public opinion," and added, "The lack of evidence within the investigative agency has been used to sway public opinion, making it clear that this person is a criminal. “It is highly likely that the intention is to stigmatize and force people to confess,” he said.

Inspector Ryu Geun-chang of the Masan Eastern Police Station said, "There were many people who passed away while being investigated by the prosecution. In some cases, there were close to 90 people in 10 years. Looking at that, I said it was excessive, but I think the police investigation is also resembling the past prosecution investigation." He emphasized, “There should be no such thing as pushing a person to the edge and making it difficult for them.”
