Regarding the fact that articles reported the news with the keyword “male actor in his 40s takes drugs”, Lee Sang Bo said, “I was devastated. I even thought I couldn’t live in this country anymore”.

Revealing that he paid for the drug test himself, the actor said, “I was handcuffed not only when I was tested but also when I received the result. When the detectives asked each other about the price of the test, I wondered if it was a prank. In the end, I had to write a credit memo”, explaining the situation at that time.

Since then, I have been receiving counseling and medication at the suggestion of my acquaintances”. In fact, Lee Sang Bo’s mother also died in 2018 due to lung cancer.
