We continue with our exclusive report on ‘celebrity drug use suspicions’.
Today (27th), a doctor suspected of delivering drugs to the manager of an entertainment establishment will be examined for an arrest warrant.
KBS reported that this doctor was confirmed to have delivered drugs without receiving compensation, but the police are suspicious that actor Lee Sun-gyun may have used the drugs.
This is a report by reporter Yoon A-rim.

The police booked Doctor B for violating the Narcotic Drugs Control Act and searched and confiscated Lee on the 9th.
This is because it was confirmed that Mr. B supplied drugs to Mr. A, the manager of an entertainment establishment, who is a key figure in the suspicion of celebrity drug use.
The police believe that Mr. A received drugs from a doctor at Lee Clinic and gave them to Mr. Seon-gyun Lee.
The doctor appeared on a TV health program in the past and became famous as his medical procedures went viral.
However, KBS’ reporting confirmed that Manager A told the police that Doctor B had suggested drugs first.
Doctor B said, “He brought me a birthday present and asked me to choose options 1, 2, and 3. I chose them all.”
However, it turned out that numbers 1, 2, and 3 were “7g of Philopon, 4g of Marijuana, and 4g of Ketamine.”
Mr. A also said that Mr. B boasted that he “receives drugs from friends from overseas” and that “the quality is much better than those distributed domestically.”
It is said that drugs were delivered from Mr. B three times, and the police are paying particular attention to January 12th of this year.
On this day, Manager A returned home after visiting Doctor B’s house, and it was reported that the police confirmed that actor Lee Sun-gyun visited Mr. A’s house at the same time.
The police said, “The exact facts are being ascertained and they cannot confirm the details of the investigation.”
In relation to this, Seon-gyun Lee, who tested negative in the drug analysis, changed his position from saying, “I didn’t know it was a drug,” to, “The drug use itself may not be true.”
The arrest warrant review for Doctor B will be held this afternoon at the Incheon District Court.
If an arrest warrant is issued, the investigation is expected to speed up as the number of key people the police have secured increases.
