The police reported on the 16th that they have requested a drug test for comedian Lee Kyung-kyu (65), who is suspected of driving after taking drugs.
Park Hyun-soo, the Acting Chief of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, said at a regular press briefing on this day, "We are currently in the pre-charge investigation stage and continuing to investigate the facts."
The police requested an urgent drug test from the National Forensic Service on the 9th.
On the 8th, around 2 p.m., he is suspected of violating the Road Traffic Act after mistakenly using another person's car with the same model as his own due to a parking attendant's error in Gangnam District. He denies the allegations, stating that he only took prescribed medication for panic disorder after testing positive in the police's quick drug test.
