Lee Kyung-kyu attended the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul on the 24th and was investigated as a suspect in connection with the alleged violation of the Road Traffic Act. After completing the survey, which took about an hour and 45 minutes from 9 p.m. to 10:45 p.m., Lee Kyung-gyu was not very aware that he should not drive after taking medicine for panic disorder. In the findings of the National Forensic Service (National Forensic Service), there were no drugs, and the drugs that were taken normally came out as they were. I apologize for the disappointment to the fans who have trusted and supported me for a long time."
The lawyer said "Lee Kyung-kyu had been suffering from panic disorder for more than 10 years and took prescription drugs the day before the incident, but he drove himself to the hospital because he was not in good condition. It is inexcusable carelessness to be behind the wheel when the body is not intact. "I will take more care of my body and mind in the future and be careful about what I say and do."
Afterwards, Channel A 'Find Success Boss Attack', TV CHOSUN 'Modern Character History Mr.Programs starring Lee Kyung-kyu, such as 'Lee', reported the news of the cancellation, and the opinion was raised as to whether it was a 'poststorm'. However, Channel A made it clear that the decision was irrelevant to Lee Kyung-kyu's issue, saying, `It is only canceled because it is a program that is filmed every time an item of cooperation is entered,' and TV CHOSUN said "From July, the program was changed to Tuesday night, and the cancellation was decided this Sunday (29th)."
Public opinion is also on Lee's side. Netizens are saying, "'Psychiatric prescription drugs can be classified as drugs. It's not even a drug, but it's too big of a case.'" I hope we wrap up this case well and come back safely' expressed his support.
Lee Kyung-kyu was booked for driving while taking drugs in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, around 2 p.m. on the 8th. Lee Kyung-kyu drove another person's car with the same model, and the car owner suspected the theft and reported it to the police. However, the incident was summarized as a happening caused by a parking management worker's mistake. However, the police found a problem in the alcohol consumption test and the drug simplified reagent test conducted on Lee Kyung-kyu. The drinking test was negative, but the results of the simple reagent test were positive, and even the National Forensic Service converted Lee Kyung-kyu into a suspect, confident of the positive result.
Based on Lee Kyung-kyu's statement, the police will look into the case and decide the direction of disposal.
According to Article 45 of the Road Traffic Act, driving is prohibited when there is a risk of not driving normally due to the influence of drugs. It is difficult to drive normally due to poor concentration and cognitive ability even if it is a prescription drug, but if you drive, you will be charged with drug driving.
