Lee is suspected of using narcotics at entertainment establishments in Gangnam, Seoul, and at the residence of the manager A (29, female) of the said establishments from early this year until recently.

Lee, who was booked without detention on charges related to marijuana and psychotropic substances under the Narcotics Control Act, underwent a preliminary reagent test during his first summons on the 28th but refused to make any statements regarding the drug use allegations, stating that he would "appear next time for investigation." The police decided to conduct a second summons for suspect interrogation after Lee left the first investigation after about an hour.

Although Lee tested 'negative' in the preliminary test, the police requested a detailed analysis of Lee's hair and urine samples from the National Forensic Service. A police official said, "It takes about 2 to 3 weeks for the results to come out," adding, "We have asked the National Forensic Service to expedite the analysis."

The police are also reportedly considering applying for an arrest warrant depending on whether Lee admits to the charges and the number of times he used drugs.

Currently, the Incheon Police Agency has booked five people, including Lee, singer G-Dragon (35, real name Kwon Ji-yong), and the entertainment establishment manager A, on drug use charges, and is investigating five others before booking (preliminary investigation). G-Dragon informed through his lawyer on the 31st that he will voluntarily appear for investigation at the police station on the 6th of next month.
