On January 23 KST, authorities intensified efforts to uncover the alleged leak of investigative information regarding the late actor Lee Sun Kyun's drug use case. The Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Investigation Unit of the Gyeonggi Southern Police Agency conducted a search and seizure operation at the Incheon Police Agency's drug crime investigation unit and media organizations involved in reporting the case.
During the operation, a mobile phone and related materials were seized from an employee at the Incheon Office's drug crime investigation team. These items will undergo analysis to determine if investigative information was leaked to specific media outlets. The inquiry stems from a request for investigation by the Incheon Police Agency, prompted by concerns over the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive details.

The relentless police inquiries and widespread media coverage contributed to the actor's distress, leading to his unfortunate demise in December.
As authorities delve into the potential breach of confidentiality, the case underscores the challenges actors face amid public scrutiny and the importance of safeguarding sensitive information during ongoing investigations. The outcome of the inquiry will shed light on the circumstances surrounding the leak and its impact on the late actor's final days.
