Lee Seon-gyun Recalled... When Asked If He Admits Drug Charges, He Says "I Will Cooperate Fully with the Investigation"
Actor Lee Seon-gyun (48), who is accused of drug use, was summoned again by the police after one week. Lee, who is suspected of marijuana and psychotropic substances under the Act on the Control of Narcotics, appeared at the Narcotics Crime Investigation Division office of the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency at around 1:40 p.m. on the 4th.
Lee said, "I apologize once again for causing concern to many people," but when asked by reporters whether he admitted to the drug use charges, he only said, "I will sincerely cooperate during today's investigation." When asked if he had confirmed the results of the precise test that came out negative, he replied, "I will tell everything truthfully during the investigation."

This summons came one week after Lee underwent a simple reagent test for about an hour on the 28th of last month and then went home. Following the simple reagent test using urine, Lee also received a negative result in a detailed analysis conducted by the National Forensic Service, which collected samples such as hair. It is known that the length of Lee’s hair analyzed by the National Forensic Service was 8 to 10 cm. Considering that hair grows about 1 cm per month, this means he has not used drugs for the past 8 to 10 months.
However, the police are not ruling out the possibility that he used drugs more than 10 months ago, based on Lee’s claim that he was threatened by A (29, female), a manager at an entertainment establishment, and handed over 350 million won.
