The K-drama industry faces yet another scandal as a police officer suspected of leaking details regarding actor Lee Sun Kyun's drug case to the media has been apprehended. According to a report from K-media, the officer in question was arrested on March 21 by the Gyeonggi Nambu Police Agency.

The leak, which occurred during an internal investigation into late Lee Sun Kyun's alleged drug use, stirred controversy as it became public knowledge before any official proceedings were initiated. Notably, the arrested officer was revealed to be affiliated with a different department within the police force, rather than the drug and crime investigation team.

This development prompted the Gyeonggi Nambu Police Agency to conduct a second search and seizure of the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency, following an initial search on January 22. The seized materials will undergo analysis as part of the ongoing investigation.

Actor Lee Sun Kyun faced drug allegations on October 19, 2023, as "top celebrity L," raising premature identity disclosure concerns.
