The Korean Medical Association (KMA) abruptly withdrew its plans to take legal action against a member physician implicated in a suspected drug usage issue involving a renowned celebrity. This unexpected cancellation was made public on October 31 KST, as the KMA had initially announced intentions to submit a formal complaint at 2:30 p.m. to the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office. This complaint was intended to instigate criminal charges against the doctor in question, who was embroiled in the controversial drug use matter.

However, the Korean Medical Association later issued a statement announcing their change of plan. They stated, "Our decision to repeal the planned submission is prompted by emergent revelations that differ substantially from the currently known reports. Further facts have been confirmed, resulting in the cancellation of the schedule to file a complaint against the doctor in question."

Recently, law enforcement officers have placed 'Doctor A' under investigation on charges of providing narcotics to famous actors Lee Sun Gyun and pop singer G-Dragon, in an alleged drug use instance. Detailed background checks on Doctor A were conducted after receiving tip-offs suggesting that drugs were potentially being exchanged at an exclusive 'Membership Room Salon' in the upscale district of Gangnam, Seoul.

While the KMA's withdrawal of their complaint may raise eyebrows, it underscores the necessity for a thorough investigation and absolute accuracy in such delicate situations. Further updates on this case will be followed with keen interest.
