4 K-Celebrities Currently Being Booked Or Investigated For Drug Use

There have been a surge of police investigations.

 G-Dragon has since issued his own denial statement.

While there are numerous reasons someone may choose to use drugs, drug laws in Korea are incredibly strict, meaning usage legal in some countries is highly illegal there.

As of late, police have launched investigations into multiple celebrities for suspected drug usage.

1. Idol “B” And Singer “C”

Incheon police recently booked a female idol and singer for suspected drug use. It was reported that each woman is also married to celebrities, though no identities have been revealed.

According to reports, his allegations stem from Lee Sun Kyun’s scandal. Since the announcement, YG Entertainment has distanced itself from the artist, while Chanel has offered its own statement.

This list does not include those who were only accused of drug usage and have since denied it, like LE SSERAFIM‘s Chaewon and (G)I-DLE‘s Soyeon.
