Vice Minister Lee announced his participation in the NO EXIT campaign through the Ministry of Health and Welfare's Facebook, stating, "The Ministry of Health and Welfare will do its best for a safe and healthy Republic of Korea free from drugs for all citizens."

This campaign is a nationwide drug eradication movement promoted by the National Police Agency and the Korea Anti-Drug Movement Headquarters since April. As drug issues have recently emerged as a serious social problem, the campaign aims to raise awareness of the dangers of drug addiction and foster vigilance to prevent drug crimes. It is conducted in a relay format, where participants take a certification photo with a pamphlet containing the phrase "A maze with no exit, NO EXIT drugs, never start," and then nominate two next participants.

Vice Minister Lee joined the campaign upon the recommendation of Choi Yeon-sook, a member of the National Assembly's Health and Welfare Committee. He emphasized the government's efforts to eradicate drugs, saying, "The government is strengthening its capabilities at the whole-of-government level to block the spread of drugs domestically and to strictly respond to drug crimes." He nominated Lee Pil-su, President of the Korean Medical Association, and Kim Sung-i, President of the Korea National Council on Social Welfare, as the next relay participants.
