Actor Lee Seon-gyun, who is suspected of drug use, appeared at the police station for questioning one week after a reagent test. However, it is not known whether he admitted or denied the charges during the police investigation.


The Narcotics Crime Investigation Division of the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency summoned Lee as a suspect on the 4th and questioned him for about three hours on charges related to marijuana and psychotropic substances under the Narcotics Control Act.


This summons came one week after he underwent a simple reagent test for about an hour on the 28th of last month and then returned home.


The actual investigation started at 2 p.m. that day and ended around 4 p.m., but it took about another hour for Lee to review the interrogation record to confirm that it accurately reflected his statements.


After the investigation, Lee left the police station with his lawyer and told reporters, "I answered all questions sincerely and honestly today (during the investigation)."


When repeatedly asked, "What parts did you clarify? Did you admit to the charges?" he added, "I responded earnestly to various questions about the facts and spoke honestly and truthfully."


The police reportedly secured statements related to the drug use charges while interrogating Lee as a suspect that day.


It is still unknown whether Lee admitted or denied the charges during the police investigation.

Lee is suspected of using various types of drugs, including marijuana, at Mr. A's residence in Seoul since early this year.


He tested negative in a simple reagent test using urine and also in a detailed analysis conducted by the National Forensic Service on samples such as hair.


The length of Lee's hair analyzed by the National Forensic Service is known to be 8 to 10 cm. Considering that hair grows about 1 cm per month, this indicates that 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 Mr. A, a manager of an entertainment establishment, and handed over 350 million won.



Additionally, there is a possibility that drug substances may be detected in other body hair of Lee, so the police are awaiting the results of further tests.
