According to Yonhap News Agency's report on the 27th, South Korean police confirmed that actor Lee Sun-kyun died in the car.
South Korean police said that at around 10:12 a.m. that day, someone called the police and reported that Lee Sun Kyun had left home after leaving a note similar to a will. He could still be contacted as of the previous day, but his vehicle had been driven away. After the police were dispatched, they found the missing vehicle in a park in Jongno District, Seoul at about 10:30. The man in the car was unconscious. The police also found fast-burning coal suspected of being used for suicide in the passenger seat of the car.
The man was confirmed to be actor Lee Sun Kyun.
According to previous reports by Korean media, Lee Sun-kyun was suspected of smoking marijuana and injecting ketamine multiple times at the home of a nightclub publicist in Seoul in 2023.
Lee Sun Kyun stated in the first two investigations that he was deceived by Mr. A and took drugs without knowing it. The results of the simple urine test and hair precise test that Lee Sun-kyun had previously received were negative.
From 10 a.m. local time on December 23 to 5 a.m. local time on December 24, Li Shanjun was investigated for the third time, which lasted 19 hours.
Previously, Lee Sun Kyun sued A and others for intimidation and extortion on the grounds that he was extorted 350 million won (approximately RMB 1.93 million) from nightclub publicist A and others. In this investigation, Lee Sun Kyun was first investigated for a drug-related case, and then was separately investigated as a victim of a threat and extortion case.
According to news from the Korean legal community on the 26th, drug-related actor Lee Sun-kyun submitted a letter of submission to the Narcotics Crime Investigation Department of the Incheon Police Department through his lawyer on the same day, requesting the police to conduct a lie detector test on himself and the nightclub publicist involved in the case, A, to determine the credibility of the confessions of each party. .
Lee Sun-kyun argued in his opinion that the only evidence of his drug use was the confession of Mr. A, and the police should conduct polygraph tests on himself and Mr. A to determine the authenticity of the confession.
Lee Sun-kyun played President Park in the Oscar-winning film "Parasite" and appeared in many well-known Korean film and television works such as "Pasta", "My Uncle", "Train" and "The End".
