In a recent update on Lee Sun Kyun‘s drug abuse investigations, he denied consuming hard drugs. According to him, he had only taken sleeping pills in the entire saga. He firmly denied partaking in other drugs, despite the claims of Madam Kim from the adult establishment the case is tied to.

What netizens cannot believe is his claim to have consumed sleeping pills through the nose. Normally, sleeping pills are administered through the mouth by swallowing a small pill. Lee Sun Kyun admitted to using a straw to inhale sleeping pills in powder form. Madam Kim testified that she had obtained Ketamine under Lee’s curiosity, and later saw him consume it.

I had taken it through the nose, using a straw, but I thought they were sleeping pills. I did not know that they were drugs.

Most hard drugs have to be administered through powder dosage by snorting, or through injections. As this is common knowledge, netizens have turned to ridiculing Lee Sun Kyun for his awkward denial.

Netizen reactions. | theqoo Ugh…Who takes sleeping pills through the nose? He’s not “My Mister” but “Mister Elephant” LOL. Mister Elephant accepts snacks through the nose because his nose is his hand. Mister Elephant, f*ck LOOL. My Mister, why… I’m getting dizzy. If he just stood still, things could’ve been glossed over that he did common and weak drugs, but through the nose is definitely cocaine. I can’t even think of the real title for My Mister Elephant now. Netizen reactions. | theqoo Feels like he would’ve had a hard time not laughing as he said it too, LOL. I’ve really never seen or heard anyone who takes sleeping pills through inhaling it. This is the best I’ve seen since “although I drank, I didn’t commit a DUI.” Who ever inhales sleeping pills through the nose? My Mister Nose… ???
