Sorry there is more Lee Seon Kyun articles here than normal and honestly these are not fun to write at all. But he’s a top star and this is an evolving situation so it’s worth covering. He’s now formally under investigation as a suspect in illegal drug use, and it’s reportedly not just marijuana but additional other drugs. Also under investigation and currently detained by the police is a 29-year old woman who is basically a madam at a hostess bar (owner/manager type) who was the person blackmailing Lee Seon Kyun and he paid hundreds of thousands in USD to to buy silence. The two reportedly exchanged 10 phone calls in the last year and the blackmail stemmed from Lee Seon Kyun doing drugs with her including at her home so she had direct evidence to extort money from him. I can say this is a triple scandal – drugs, hanging out at hostess bars/doing drugs with a hostess at her home, and the blackmail. So it’s basically a combo of various male actor scandals in recent years mashed together and to K-netizens thereby exponentially worse.
This year 2024 has been a slow year for K-actress Suzy in terms of her…
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story,…
If I didn't know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama…

Him doing drugs in her home, it not far fetched , he might have slept with her too. I hope his wife and children will be able to overcome this because from the looks of it, it going to really affect them, more than we thought.
Oh definitely, it's not a reach to assume that. Damn, too think that I liked him after My Mister...
Super disappointing. i only feel bad for his wife and kid
Not into him. Good actor but not my type of looks.
Luckily he didn’t have a romantic scene with Jung Ryeo Won in the prosecutor drama…
@ Rei
Same, all the way. Good actor, since Coffee Prince but not my type of looks or VOICE (too baritone) and I don't know ... to me he gives off cocky vibes.
He was dubbed The Voice at that time by friends in K-community groups, Dramabeans, blogs etc etc. But, not my cuppa tea.
And people still mentioned Ju Ji Hoon's name, which I think he did wayy less offense than LSK
Yeah, I have sympathy for Joo Ji Hood and Yoo Ah In, they did a crime, yes, but their actions didn't affect anyone. Plus, JJH cleaned up his act later and didn't do anything problematic anymore, as far as I know.
I'm sorry, I just can't feel bad for Lee Sun Kyun because he did all that sh*t knowing he has a wife and kid who will definitely get affected once all this comes out...
Yoo Ah In actions did affect so many people. Films that were filmed that can't see the light of day.
I still can watch JJH's dramas if he stays clean from drug. Substance abuse is nothing like other crimes such as extramarital affairs and rape etc. I have more sympathy for drug addicts, not including drug dealers though.
@Somebody, I have to share a humorous incident with you.
Just yesterday whilst my hubby was having lunch at a Bistro, just sitting next to his table were 3 young graduate who just started their new job in a international tobacco company. The 3 chaps were clearly high motivated to perform their roles in the company.
All 3 took turns to really boost about their new ambitions to raise sales of tobaccos and how to promoted very quickly. Each was trying to outdo each other. It was a very interesting interaction. They were rather loud thus it was not eavesdropping.
My hubby really wanted to tell them:" I recently heard a similar conversations in the park from 3 kids who want to peddlar marijuana.."
All the 3 guys were as highly motivated as these 3 chaps... Both sets of 3 from different background, different class and different status but all trying to sell as much drugs as possible.
So all 6 are effectively drug dealers but just different types of drugs.
Such a dirty guy... I will be surprised his wife still sleeps in same room with him.
You sound like scumbag. I have seen the type of scumbag that talks crap about other people before.
Koala, you need not be 'sorry', it is your blog, you can write what suits you. I am enjoying reading these posts... It is very unfortunate news but some details are just too juicy to ignore.
I was just watching TransSiberian Pathfinders with him and Kim Nam Gil. They always mentioned Ha jung Woo, looks like he is also friends to him.Hoping no other names will be attached to this scandal.
Ha jung Woo also does drugs. So if HJW gets dragged into this eventually, I won't be surprised. He was suspected of propofol misused previously iirc, and YAI also propofol, which ballooned into all other drugs and now LSK.
I hope KNG is not involved in any drugs. He seems so clean.. sigh. I don't feel any loss for LSK bcos I never liked him anyway. His voice and hooded eyes always feels kinda suspicious..
Thing is, I don't hate him. I don't find him dirty, yet. All those speculations he slept with her, do you sleep with your drug dealer? I dont know and I won't imply. I just hope he gets thru this and kick his addiction for his family and be better. Rather than news of assaults and creepy power play or prostitution and what nots, so far he only uses the drugs on himself. It isn't the worst. But I'm mentally prepared for more allegations.
Well, he is a VIP client of a brothel, so there is a prostitution angle in this story as well.
Same. I was a fan after my mister and this entire ordeal has been really disappointing. I'm still hoping (however unlikely it might be realistically speaking) that he didn't actually cheat on his wife to add to accusations the drug abuse and stuff. I'm aware that hope is naive given his alleged ties to the brothel but I don't want him to have destroyed his entire family so fully...
Sounds like the plot of the usual K- or C- drama. Waiting for the appearance of a missing sister. Or amnesia.
Hoping he hasn't done any extramarital affairs aside from drug use. It would absolutely devastate his wife and family if so. I am naively hoping for this, even if it seems most likely, and I'm not even a fan of his.
Precisely. If the alleged claims are true, this actor really threw everything he built and had away.
The eerie thing is that his fate was predicted by a fortune reader years earlier. When shown his photo, she said she could see with handcuff and losing everything in a day. Such accurate prediction.
I like him as an actor, not for his off-screen personality. But its devastating because he really brought Park Dong Hoon to life and never have I thought that he's doing drug and probably cheating on his wife. I feel bad for his family most of all.
Well, that's always the case with celebs. What you see, may not be all true after all.
This is his private life which unfortunately got exposed to the public. Feel bad for his wife and family. I still enjoy his acting regardless of what he does outside of work. Not a fan nor a friend, just a movie & drama watcher...
