One More Celebrity Booked on Drug Charges... Police Say "Unrelated to Lee Seon-gyun Case"

The police investigating actor Lee Seon-gyun (48) for drug use have additionally detected signs of drug use by another celebrity and are conducting an investigation.

On the 25th, the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency announced that they have booked celebrity A on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act and are investigating. However, the police explained that A's case is a separate matter unrelated to Lee's drug use case.

A police official stated, "We cannot disclose the identity of the person booked or the specific details of the charges yet," but added, "It is unrelated to Lee's case."

The police have placed a total of eight people under investigation in connection with Lee's case. First, Lee was booked on charges related to marijuana and psychotropic substances under the Narcotics Control Act, and B (29, female), the manager of the Gangnam entertainment establishment known to have been frequented by Lee, was arrested on psychotropic substance charges. B is also accused of extorting 350 million won from Lee through threats.

In addition, one employee of the entertainment establishment has been booked, and five others, including a third-generation chaebol family member, a composer, and an aspiring singer, are under preliminary investigation.

The police plan to conduct a drug test on Lee soon to determine the types and frequency of drugs he used. Lee is suspected of having used multiple types of drugs, including marijuana, at B's residence in Seoul since early this year.

Last month, the police obtained clues related to actor Lee while verifying a tip from an informant that "drugs were being distributed at a Gangnam entertainment bar in Seoul." The entertainment establishment Lee frequented is a membership-based room salon catering to high-income clientele.
