With this statement, the actor now completely denies any intentional drug use.
On November 6, Attorney Kim Yong Soo told one of the reporters, “If the investigative authorities cannot prove the suspect’s intent, the case cannot be prosecuted.”
Attorney Son Su Ho added, “Drug offenses require intent, so if someone is deceived and unknowingly does it, they will not be punished.”

Attorney Kim provided an explanation, saying, “For example, in places like clubs, it is common for people to offer drinks to their business partners. If someone unwittingly consumes something that has been secretly mixed with illegal drugs, they cannot be considered guilty.”
He also added, “Even if someone is forcibly injected with drugs and cannot resist, it is difficult to prosecute such cases.”
Now, the question arises as to whether Lee Sun Kyun actually used drugs.
