An insider well versed in the investigation, who refused to be identified, said Monday that Kim confessed a list of some other 10 entertainers involved in an intensive probe of the drug case for the fifth consecutive day. He was arrested last Saturday on charges of illegal taking of meth and smoking marijuana.
On the list were figures involved in injection, sale and delivery of drug. The insider did not rule out that there are other celebrities or famous entertainers on the list. However, the prosecution was reportedly confirmed to say that they “could not confirm whether or not entertainers are included in the list of other drug users.”
As a result, public attention has focused on how much the investigation would be extended.
If more entertainers are on the ‘Kim’s list,’ it is certain that the drug investigation will be flared up further.
There have appeared numerous rumors among netizens about who are accomplices with TV actor Kim.
Kim has showed suspicion on the possible supply of drugs by expert brokers to him or existence of his girlfriend whom he probably met during the period of drug use.
Actually, this is similar with the case involving another TV actor Joo Ji-hoon last year. A string of entertainers were revealed to be engaged in the drug use and trafficking in the process of investigation. All the entertainers involved were punished eventually.
Sleeping anesthesia, Propofol, which will be designated as psychoactive medicine next year, has poised a serious problem due to its abuse by many entertainers. The investigation is expected to be further extended in other drug cases, if questions are raised about the habitual injection of propofol, which is called “panacea” to entertainers who are always uneasy psychologically.
