It is said that when fame rises to its peak, it is followed by accusations and controversies. Olsen Twins were dragged into the drug controversy, Celsius brand faced accusations of using drugs in their drinks. Once again, a famous name is dragged into the drug controversy, Lee Sun Gyun. 

On October 19, Gyeonggi Shinmun published a report revealing the investigation going on by Lee Sun Gyun, identified as “L” in the report, along with seven other individuals. They are being investigated by the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency’s Narcotics Crime Investigation Unit. The individuals face charges related to violations of the Drugs Control Act.

The investigation department reported, 

β€œWhile investigating drug-related activities primarily within entertainment establishments in Gangnam, we obtained information that a celebrity is involved in drug use. We are currently conducting an internal investigation involving eight individuals including L, a male actor in his 40s.”

Furthermore, according to Gyeonggi Shinmun, the actor ‘L’ is alleged to have provided a substantial sum of money to the supplier. They further presented the statement made by the investigation team, saying, 

β€œIt is true that L provided a significant amount of money to the drug supplier while engaged in marijuana use. We estimate the amount to be around 300 million won (approximately $221,900).”

Following the chaos, Lee’s company, HODU&U Entertainment, came forward and released an official statement confirming that the actor was cooperating with the investigation. The company further informed that Lee has also pressed charges against individual A, for threatening and blackmailing him.
