Lee Seon-gyun Appears for Third Police Interview on Drug Charges... "I Will Tell the Truth"

There is a possibility of a long duration as it is the final survey

Actor Lee Seon-gyun (48), who is accused of drug use, appeared again at the police station on the 23rd for his third investigation.

The Narcotics Crime Investigation Division of the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency plans to re-summon Lee, who is suspected of marijuana and psychotropic substances under the Narcotics Control Act, for a lengthy investigation on the morning of the same day.

This investigation is the third, following the first on October 28, when he only underwent a reagent test and was sent home, and the second on the 4th of last month, when he gave a statement for about three hours.

Lee arrived at the Narcotics Crime Investigation Division office of the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency at around 9:55 a.m. with his lawyer.

Dressed in a black suit with a scarf and stepping out of a vehicle, Lee opened his mouth saying, "I sincerely apologize once again for causing concern to many people."

When asked, "Do you admit to the drug use charges?" he only replied, "I will answer sincerely during the investigation." When further asked, "You previously stated that you did not know it was drugs; do you still hold the same position?" he responded, "I will also tell the truth about that."

Lee is suspected of repeatedly using marijuana and other drugs at the residence of A (29, female), a manager of a nightlife establishment in Gangnam.

During the police investigation, A reportedly claimed, "Lee used drugs at least five times at my house." Subsequently, during the police investigation, Lee is known to have claimed, "A deceived me and gave me drugs. I did not know it was drugs."

Later, Lee’s side filed a complaint with the police, stating that they were extorted for 350 million won through continuous blackmail and threats by A and others.

The police plan to investigate not only Lee’s drug use charges but also the extortion case involving A and two others related to the nightlife establishment manager.

The police do not plan to summon Lee again, so this investigation, which is effectively the last, may continue into late-night hours (9 p.m. to 6 a.m.) if he agrees.

Previously, Lee tested negative in a simple reagent test during his first summons. He also tested negative in the first (hair) and second (armpit hair) detailed examinations conducted by the National Forensic Service.

The Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency has investigated or internally reviewed a total of 10 people, including Lee, on charges such as drug use. Among them, singer G-Dragon (35, real name Kwon Ji-yong) was not prosecuted due to lack of evidence.
