The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's Narcotics Crime Investigation Unit summoned Jeon as a suspect under the Narcotics Control Act on the morning of the same day and is investigating the types and frequency of drugs used, as well as the purchase routes.

Jeon arrived at the Mapo Police Station of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency around 9:35 a.m. by car and entered the interrogation room without making any separate statement.

Earlier, the police were notified by the National Forensic Service (NFS) that Jeon tested positive in a detailed drug analysis. The police arrested Jeon at Incheon International Airport on the 28th of last month after he arrived from the United States, collected hair samples, and requested a detailed analysis from the NFS. A preliminary test conducted on the day of the arrest had returned a negative result.

Jeon was released the day after his arrest and told reporters that he admitted to using marijuana and dimethyltryptamine (DMT) during the police investigation. Considering Jeon's admission of drug use, the police decided to conduct the investigation without detention. However, a travel ban was imposed on him on the 31st of last month to prevent him from leaving the country until the investigation is completed.
