The arrest warrant for a plastic surgeon in Gangnam, who is accused of providing drugs to actor Lee Seon-gyun (48) through a manager of an entertainment bar, was dismissed by the court.


On the 27th, Judge Lee Gyu-hoon, head of the warrant division at Incheon District Court, conducted a pre-arrest detention hearing for plastic surgeon A (42), who is charged with stimulant drug-related offenses under the Narcotics Control Act, and subsequently dismissed the arrest warrant.


The judge stated the reason for dismissal, saying, "Considering the degree of evidence for the criminal charges, the possibility of dispute, the progress of the investigation, and the suspect's residence, occupation, and family relations, it is difficult to recognize the necessity of detention."


A is accused of providing drugs to Lee and others through B (29, female), a manager of an entertainment establishment in Gangnam. B, who was previously arrested and indicted, worked at a Gangnam entertainment venue and built connections with celebrities. She was investigated for providing her home as a place for drug use to Lee.


The police previously conducted a search and seizure at A's residence and the clinic he operates in Gangnam, Seoul. They secured various medical records and his vehicle.



Currently, the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency is investigating or conducting preliminary inquiries into a total of 10 individuals on drug-related charges, including A, actor Lee, and singer G-Dragon (35, real name Kwon Ji-yong).
