Raises Suspicion Over Timing of Lee Seon-gyun and Yoo Ah-in Drug Reports

As controversy grows over actor Lee Seon-gyun's alleged drug use, opposition parties have raised a 'conspiracy theory' claiming it is a manipulation of public opinion to cover up the failures of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration.

On the 21st, Lee Kyung, the senior deputy spokesperson of the Democratic Party of Korea, posted a message titled "Trying to cover it up with celebrity drug news" on her social media (SNS).

The deputy spokesperson claimed, "Kim Geon-hee and Kim Seung-hee, a secretary whose daughter was a school violence perpetrator causing injuries requiring nine weeks of medical treatment, were classmates in the Korea University advanced leadership program. We hold President Yoon Seok-yeol responsible for pardoning and reinstating Kim Tae-woo to run for the Gangseo District Office chief election. Such news is being overshadowed by the 'drug use allegations against actor Lee Seon-gyun.'

She also raised suspicions about the timing of the drug allegations against Yoo Ah-in. She said, "A similar incident happened a few months ago. What happened in March, when the drug allegations against Yoo Ah-in caused a stir? At that time, there were events such as 'President Yoon Seok-yeol’s March 1st Independence Movement Day speech containing remarks comparable to pro-Japanese collaborators,' 'the raising of the Japanese imperial flag at an apartment in Sejong City,' and 'the prosecution’s conclusion of no issues regarding sponsorship money for Kim Geon-hee’s Covana Contents exhibition,'" consecutively suggesting a conspiracy theory.

She added, "We can no longer just watch the outdated thinking of the Yoon administration that mocks the people," and said, "Impeachment is the answer."

Meanwhile, Lee Kyung is a former spokesperson for Lee Jae-myung’s campaign and ran as a candidate for the Supreme Council in the Democratic Party’s party convention last July.
