The investigation, currently conducted by the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency’s Drug Crime Investigation Unit, encompasses violations of drug-related laws, particularly related to marijuana, and involves Lee Sun-kyun and 7 other individuals. The identity of “Actor L” initially mentioned in reports was later confirmed to be Lee Sun-kyun.
The individuals under investigation include Lee Sun-kyun, the third generation of a chaebol family, aspiring entertainer as well as entertainment establishments’ owners and employees.

Later, they apologized for causing concern and expressed their commitment to verifying the facts related to the suspicions. Lee Sun-kyun’s agency also highlighted their decision to report constant blackmail and threats from a person involved in the case.
One particular development that escalated the situation was the allegation of a significant amount of money being extorted. Reports suggested that Lee Sun-kyun was extorted through threats and blackmail, resulting in him transferring a substantial sum, possibly in the range of 200 to 300 million won.
This scandal has shaken the Korean entertainment industry as Lee Sun-kyun has a history of clean, scandal-free career and even made appearances at prestigious international events such as the Cannes Film Festival. He is known for his remarkable roles in various dramas and movies, including the Oscar-winning black comedy film “Parasite”.
The impact of this controversy extends to his upcoming projects, including the movies “The Land of Happiness”, “Project Silence” and the drama “No Way Out”.
Currently, only limited information is confirmed – Lee Sun-kyun being part of the drug investigation and continuous threats received from a related individual. As investigations are in their early stages, the public remains eager for more concrete answers.
