Comedian Lee Gyeong-kyu was caught by the police after driving while under the influence of drugs.

On the 9th, according to the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul, Lee Gyeong-kyu is being investigated for violating the Road Traffic Act.

Lee Gyeong-kyu reportedly drove his foreign vehicle to his company using another person's car of the same make at an indoor golf practice facility in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, on the 8th.

The owner of the car had reported suspected vehicle theft, and the police determined that a parking management officer mistakenly handed the vehicle over to Lee Gyeong-kyu.

The police investigated Lee Gyeong-kyu when he returned to the indoor golf practice facility, and while the result of a breathalyzer test was negative, it is reported that he showed a positive reaction in a preliminary drug test.

Lee Gyeong-kyu is strongly denying the allegations, stating, "I took the prescribed medication."
