Suspected of Providing Drugs Through Entertainment Venue Manager
Police Reviewing Warrant Application After Supplementary Investigation

The police have confirmed that they re-summoned and investigated a current doctor suspected of supplying drugs to actor Lee Seon-gyun (48) and others.

According to the police on the 15th, the Narcotics Crime Investigation Division of the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency is conducting supplementary investigations on Dr. A, a man in his 30s who works at a plastic surgery clinic in Gangnam, on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act.

Dr. A is identified as the person who provided drugs without compensation to B, a 29-year-old female manager of a nightlife establishment, who is a key figure in the celebrity drug use allegations. The police suspect that Lee Seon-gyun may have used the drugs delivered to B. B was detained and brought to trial, receiving her first hearing on the same day, during which she admitted to all charges related to the indictment.

Earlier, on the 9th of last month, the police conducted a search and seizure at the clinic where Dr. A serves as director. After summoning Dr. A for questioning, they applied for an arrest warrant on the 24th of the same month. However, the court dismissed the warrant, stating that "considering the degree of evidence for the crime, 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."

The police recently re-summoned Dr. A for additional questioning and plan to review whether to reapply for an arrest warrant once the supplementary investigation is completed.

The Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency has investigated or conducted pre-investigation inquiries (internal investigations) on a total of 10 individuals, including Lee Seon-gyun and singer G-Dragon (35, real name Kwon Ji-yong), on suspicion of drug use. The police have found no charges against Kwon and plan to close the case next week. Among the seven individuals formally charged, the police have sent three, including B, to the prosecution.
