South Korean actor Lee Sun-kyun, who won people’s hearts with his strong acting in the 2020 Oscar Best Picture winner ‘Parasite’, has been found dead. The 48-year-old actor was found unconscious in his car at a park in central Seoul on Wednesday, reports bbc.com.
According to the agency, it is not clear whether Lee committed suicide or not, but police have received reports that he left the house after writing the suicide note. He was being investigated for drug use.
It was reported that he was suspected of taking drugs with an employee at a bar in Seoul. The landlady had told the police that he had used drugs several times at her house, but the actor had denied. He had earlier requested to undergo a lie detector test through his lawyer.
The report said that his drug test results were negative. Lee’s agency, HODU & You Entertainment, said, “There is no way to stop the grief and despair. We respectfully request you to refrain from spreading false facts based on speculation… so that no one may be affected by Lee’s funeral.” There should be no hindrance.”
The investigation of the case has had a great impact on Lee’s life. She was cast in ‘No Way Out’, a mystery TV series which began shooting in October. The actor was married to actress Jeon Hye-jin and has two sons. His acting career spanned more than two decades.
He gained international fame as Park Dong-ik in ‘Parasite’.
