On December 27, media outlets reported Lee Sun Kyun’s death, leaving the public in shock. The day before, the actor had faced drug-related accusations and had taken a lie detector test to prove his innocence.
After the news of his passing, Yonhap News and My Daily shared the latest images from the scene. The police are now exploring the possibility of suicide, given the presence of bee venom in the car and the actor’s admission to the hospital with a stopped heart.
Around 10:12 AM today, actress Jeon Hye Jin reported her husband’s death, leaving behind a note resembling a will. Despite her immediate report, authorities couldn’t intervene in time.
A day earlier, JTBC revealed Lee Sun Kyun’s statement about inhaling powder, thinking it was a sleeping pill, but not realizing it was drugs. His partner, however, accused him of using synthetic drugs.
In an effort to prove his innocence, Lee Sun Kyun had requested a lie detector test from the police. However, the Korean public remained skeptical, criticizing the actor for what they saw as an unreasonable explanation. Speculation also arose about his suicide during a challenging period, possibly influenced by public pressure.
