Actor Lee Sun-kyun tested negative in another thorough drug test of hair samples, local reports said Friday.

The Incheon Police Station was notified of the results Friday after obtaining a search warrant on Lee’s body and sending his hair samples to the National Forensic Service (NFS) last week.

On Oct. 28, Lee’s rapid urine test came out negative for drugs. Lee’s hair samples were subsequently sent over to the NFS for a detailed analysis, which came out negative. The police then sent them over again for a second round.

The analysis results on Lee’s leg hair samples are still pending.

Currently, a total of 10 people, including singer G-Dragon and Lee, are under investigation by the Incheon Police Agency on suspicion of illegal drug use.
