'Drug Suspicion' Lee Sun-kyun "I Don't Know the Third Generation Chaebol... 15 Billion Won Building Sale, Unrelated Matter"

Revealed Through Lawyer: "Will Cooperate Sincerely with Investigation"

Actor Lee Seon-gyun (48), who was under a pre-investigation (internal inquiry) by the police on suspicion of drug use, stated that he does not know the third-generation chaebol who was investigated together with him, according to Yonhap News on the 23rd.

Lee's legal team said in a phone call with Yonhap News on the same day, "We recently had a brief meeting with our client, Lee," and added that he does not know Hwang Hana or Han Seo-hee, who were also mentioned as subjects of the internal inquiry.

Earlier reports indicated that the police believe Lee, the third-generation chaebol, aspiring entertainers, and entertainment establishment employees used drugs together at entertainment venues in Gangnam, Seoul, but Lee has completely denied these allegations.

When asked whether he admits or denies the drug use allegations, Lee's lawyer said, "It is difficult to comment at this time," and added, "He will sincerely cooperate with the police investigation."

Additionally, Lee's side expressed concern that there have been excessive speculative reports that are not based on facts regarding this case. They pointed out that articles linking the recent sale of a building worth around 15 billion won by Lee's wife, actress Jeon Hye-jin (47), who suffered losses, to Lee being threatened are typical examples of such speculation. The lawyer stated, "The articles related to his wife contain irrelevant content," and insisted, "The building sale and this case are completely unrelated."

Lee's side also explained that they could not specifically identify the accused or the amount of damages related to the alleged threat incident. The lawyer said, "We have filed a complaint naming two unknown individuals as defendants, but we do not know whether it is one or two people," and added, "The damages amount to several hundred million won, but we did not specify an exact amount."

Earlier, Lee submitted a complaint to the Incheon District Prosecutors' Office through his lawyer last week, stating that he was threatened and extorted of several hundred million won in connection with the drug case.
