The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's Narcotics Crime Investigation Unit summoned Jeon on the morning of the 20th at 10 a.m. as a suspect under the Narcotics Control Act, and after investigating the types and frequency of drugs used and the purchase routes, he was sent home around 10:20 p.m.

Jeon arrived at the Seoul Police Agency's Mapo office by car around 9:35 a.m. that day and entered the interrogation room without making any 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, who arrived from the United States on the 28th of last month, at Incheon International Airport, 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, who was released the day after his arrest, told reporters that he admitted to using marijuana and dimethyltryptamine (DMT) during the police investigation. Considering Jeon's admission of the charges, the police are conducting the investigation without detention. He is expected to be sent to prosecution without detention as early as next week, without additional investigation.
