INCHON: A police officer from the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency was arrested on Thursday under suspicion of leaking confidential details about a drug investigation concerning the late actor Lee Sun-kyun.
According to Yonhap News Agency, this arrest is part of an inquiry initiated in January into how the probe's details became public knowledge. Lee Sun-kyun, celebrated for his role in the film "Parasite," was found deceased in Seoul on December 27, shortly after facing police inquiries regarding allegations of illegal drug use. The public disclosure of the investigation and subsequent media reports on Lee's alleged drug activities have sparked debate over the privacy rights of individuals under investigation and the responsibilities of law enforcement in protecting sensitive information.
