Lee Kyung Kyu is facing a twist in his DUI controversy after an exclusive report claimed he was under police investigation for driving under the influence of “drugs.”
The comedian pushed back hard.
On June 9, 2025 (KST), Lee Kyung Kyu spoke to Munhwa Ilbo by phone to clarify the incident. He denied visiting an indoor golf range, which was part of the original report.
He stressed that he carries his prescription for panic disorder medication at all times, which he showed to police during the investigation. The TV star said the “drug” in question was just a reaction to his panic disorder medicine, not illicit substances.

I had the flu on the 8th and visited a hospital. It’s also not true that I went to an indoor golf range. I took a urine test and a single line showed up. Because it’s a sensitive medication, I always carry my prescription for panic disorder with me. I showed them the prescription and went home. How could you possibly say someone who’s ill to have been ‘under the influence of drugs’?
Lee also admitted to mistakenly taking someone else’s car but returned it immediately after realizing his belongings were missing. The car’s owner reported it stolen during that time.

I did take the wrong car. I was given the wrong keys in the parking lot for a vehicle that looked the same in color and model. I realized my bag wasn’t in the car and brought it back to the parking lot. In the meantime, the car’s owner couldn’t find it and reported it stolen. But I returned it, and that was the end of it.
The situation is still developing as fans and media monitor Lee Kyung Kyu’s latest statements and the official police response.
