Actor
Lee Sun Kyun
found himself entangled in a recent drug scandal, which led to a mandatory police
investigation
on October 28, 2023. His visit to the police station proved brief, lasting only one hour.
During this time, Lee Sun Kyun cooperated with the authorities and handed over his phone for investigation. He expressed his commitment to the ongoing inquiries, and Koreaboo quoted him "I have submitted my handphone today, and I have faithfully acquiesced to the requests that were required for the next formal investigation.
They said that they would call me soon for the next investigation, and I will diligently answer that too. I’m so sorry for disappointing everyone who had been supporting me."
Notably, the drug tests conducted on that day reportedly returned negative results. However, the police explained that these tests might not be entirely conclusive due to the passage of time, as certain
drugs
can naturally leave the system. To bolster the accuracy of the investigation, Lee Sun Kyun also underwent a hair test, the results of which have yet to be disclosed. The police acknowledged that "As much time has passed, the results of the reagent test would not hold much meaning. We will send his hair samples, etc, to forensics for precise appraisal." This step is aimed at providing a more detailed and accurate assessment of the situation.
As he arrived at the police station, the
Parasite
actor addressed the reporters and said, “First of all, I sincerely apologize for the great amount of disappointment I have brought to so many people for being involved in such an unpleasant incident. I would like to bow my head in apology to everyone who has trusted me and supported me all this time. As I delivered through my agency, my position is that I will faithfully participate in the investigation with an honest attitude. I feel very sorry for my family, who is suffering a lot at the moment. I will sincerely and truthfully answer [the questions] during the investigation”
