On the 15th, the Suseo Police Station in Seoul announced that they had booked a man in his 40s, Mr. A, without detention on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act.


According to the police, at around 4:40 PM the previous day, they responded to a report from Mr. A's girlfriend saying, "My boyfriend who took drugs has gone crazy and is trying to kill me." It is known that Mr. A attempted to assault her when she tried to report that he had used drugs during his overseas business trip. However, the assault case was closed as the girlfriend did not wish to press charges.


Mr. A reportedly tested positive in a preliminary drug screening test.



A police official stated, "We are currently investigating the circumstances of the incident and the exact timing of the drug use."
