In a recent update, it has been confirmed that celebrated actor Lee Sun Gyun is the "top star" currently embroiled in a drug-related investigation. Initially, speculative whispers began to circulate amongst netizens that Lee Sun Gyun was, in fact, the same individual referred to as "Mr. L" in several reports that hinted at potential drug use allegations.
To clarify the situation, the actor's management agency, HODU&U Entertainment, released an official statement. On October 20, the company acknowledged that Lee Sun Gyun is indeed the person currently under scrutiny in a drug investigation, as previously speculated by online community users.
The agency stated, "Firstly, we'd like to apologize for the concern caused by the report about actor Lee Sun Kyun, a labelmate of our company. We're confirming the exact facts of the allegations currently being raised against actor Lee Sun Kyun, and we'll sincerely engage in investigations by the investigative agencies that may proceed in the future."
The latest development has brought much shock to the industry and online communities. Many netizens gathered in various online communities to express their disappointment and shock.
They commented, "The agency released a statement like like he's the victim," "I guess it is true he got involved in drugs and was even blackmailed," "This is so shocking," "He was in so many good dramas, this is so disappointing," "So doesn't this mean he really did drugs?" "Did he not know that the one who sold him the drugs would blackmail him when he purchased the drugs?" "So, it was true," "It's time to say goodbye to a good actor," "This is more shocking than Yoo Ah In's news," "If it is true that he was blackmailed, that means it's true he did drugs," "This is making me speechless," and "Actors are really pompous."
It is a shame, I am more disappointed by the adult entertainment part than the weed. Due to the puritanical view of these actors and artists, people don't see them for who they are.
I am curious to know why someone of his level was caught like that and why he started doing drugs. Not that I judge him or something. Most of these actors/idol use sleeping pills or uppers to perform and get their job done, I am not suprised if they need other stimulans as well.
