According to the police on the 29th, the Narcotics Crime Investigation Division of the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency seized one of Lee's mobile phones on the 28th and is currently checking call records and other data. The police plan to conduct forensic work to determine whether the phone submitted by Lee was the one he had been using and whether there are any traces of data deletion.


The police are also analyzing a vehicle registered under Lee's name that was seized to check for any drug possession charges. Additionally, they have requested an urgent detailed examination of Lee's urine and hair samples from the National Forensic Service to quickly confirm whether he has used drugs. Earlier, a rapid drug test conducted on Lee's urine sample returned a negative result.
