In a tragic turn of events, South Korean actor Lee Sun-kyun, widely known for his remarkable performance in the 2020 Oscar-winning film “Parasite,” was found dead on Wednesday morning in a car parked in a central Seoul park. According to reports from the Associated Press and South Korean news agency Yonhap, the actor was 48 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The circumstances surrounding Lee’s death have raised concerns, as police had been actively searching for him following a report from his family that he had left home early Wednesday, leaving behind a suicide note. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lee Sun-Kyun Family Claimed to Be Blackmailed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Parasite<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

he acclaimed actor had recently been under investigation for alleged illegal drug use by the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lee’s family claimed that he had been a victim of blackmail by another individual involved in the drug investigation, resulting in significant financial losses. The actor had asserted that he was unaware of the substances he was taking and maintained that he had been deceived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the South Korean entertainment community mourns the loss of one of its prominent figures, the circumstances surrounding Lee Sun-kyun’s death and the ongoing investigation into his alleged drug use continue to draw attention. The tragedy serves as a reminder of the complexities and challenges faced by individuals in the public eye, even after achieving considerable success in their careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first inquiry on October 28, the actor said sorry for causing a letdown and expressed regret for his family’s distress. He stated he was tricked into taking drugs, including marijuana, by a hostess at a fancy Seoul bar who then tried to blackmail him. Despite passing two drug tests during the police investigation, he willingly took a lie detector test to show he was innocent and to reveal the hostess’s alleged deceit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Korean news agency Yonhap said Lee was found dead in a car in a Seoul park on Wednesday morning. According to Yonhap, Lee’s wife told the police he had left home, and she found a note that looked like he might have taken his own life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local news says Lee was being checked for using drugs that are not allowed. In the past few weeks, the South Korean government has been working harder to stop illegal drugs. This has caused many famous people, like actors, singers, rich people, and even K-pop star G-Dragon, to be accused. However, G-Dragon was declared not guilty last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Parasite<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lee also acted in the first Korean-language series by Apple TV+, a sci-fi thriller titled “Dr. Brain,” produced in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the recent inquiry into supposed drug use significantly impacted him despite his fame, resulting in extensive coverage by tabloids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In South Korea, a person found guilty of breaking strict drug laws may face up to six months in jail, and repeat offenders or dealers could be sentenced to as much as 14 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nation’s drug policy is recognized as one of the harshest globally, a stance strengthened by South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol’s call for a “war on drugs” earlier this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
