Comedian Lee Kyung-kyu, 65, who is accused of driving after taking drugs, has been formally booked by the police.
The Gangnam Police Station in Seoul announced on the 24th that it has booked Lee on charges of violating the Road Traffic Act and is currently conducting a summons investigation.
Lee is accused of violating the Road Traffic Act after mistakenly driving another person's car, which is the same model as his own, due to an error by a parking management officer at a building in Gangnam-gu around 2 p.m. on the 8th. He denies the accusations, stating that he only took prescribed medication for anxiety when a preliminary drug test by the police returned a positive result.
The National Forensic Service has also been identified as having delivered a certificate confirming the positive result of the detailed test to the Gangnam Police Station.
