Seoul: Comedian Lee Kyung-gyu is undergoing a police probe for allegedly driving under the influence earlier this week, officials said Monday. Lee reportedly tested positive for substance use in a preliminary test after police stopped him Sunday for driving someone else's car. He reportedly drove the vehicle, which was the same model as his own, after a valet mistakenly handed it over to him at a golf driving range in Seoul's southern ward of Gangnam.
According to Yonhap News Agency, the Seoul Gangnam Police Station is currently looking into charges of violating the Road Traffic Act against Lee. A police official declined to elaborate on the details of the case. The veteran comedian is known for hosting popular TV shows over the years, including "Healing Camp."
