Citing a TenAsia report, Soompi further added that a test result conducted by the National Forensic Service during the police investigation revealed positive for marijuana. Now, Sik-K’s legal representative released an official statement clarifying the matter.

Here's what happened

The statement read, “Sik-K did not go to the Yongsan Police Station in Seoul under the influence. His behaviour while attending the police was not due to taking drugs but was due to delirium after surgery.”

As per the statement, Sik-K underwent surgery under general anaesthesia for treatment of a shoulder rotator cuff injury sustained while serving in the military. He was prescribed sleeping pills until he was discharged from the hospital on January 18 this year. It added that this caused his delirium symptoms on January 19 morning, which led him to leave home.

The statement added, “Sik-K has surrendered to charges of simple possession of marijuana and smoking and is admitting to these charges. No Philopon (a form of methamphetamine) component was detected in Sik-K’s hair test results submitted during the investigation.” On April 18, Yongsan Police Station transferred Sik-K to the Seoul Western District Prosecutors’ Office on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act without detention.
