Rapper Sik-K. Sik-K official FacebookThe famous male rapper in his 30s who reportedly confessed to using drugs to the police in January of this year was revealed to be Sik-K (Kwon Min-sik). Sik-K’s side claimed that although it was true that he tested positive for marijuana, he had not taken any drugs when he went to the police and had not used Philopon.
Sik-K’s legal representative, Sedam Law Firm, distributed an official position through the media on the 29th. First, Sedam’s side announced that Sik-K was investigated by Yongsan Police Station in Seoul for violating the Narcotics Control Act (marijuana), and that he surrendered himself to two charges: simple possession of marijuana and smoking marijuana and is admitting to the charges. However, he added, “The time I possessed and smoked marijuana was not when I attended the Yongsan Police Station in Seoul, but before the shoulder rotator cuff surgery I mentioned earlier.”
According to Sedam, Sik-K suffered a shoulder rotator cuff injury while serving in the military and was hospitalized from January 15 to 18, 2024, where he underwent surgery under general anesthesia. He explained that at this time, he was administered psychotropic drugs such as propofol and lidocaine, and other general anesthetics for anesthesia, and from after the surgery until discharge, he was given painkillers containing ingredients such as tramadol to relieve pain, and sleeping pills for sleep disorders.
Sik-K, who continued to have trouble sleeping even though he was prescribed sleeping pills until discharge from the hospital, showed signs of delirium on the morning of January 19, 2024, and announced his intention to turn himself in, claiming that he had taken drugs. After going through the district police station, he was investigated at Yongsan Police Station in Seoul as a voluntary companion. Sedam announced that he had been discharged and returned home.
Sedam’s side said, “Therefore, it was physically impossible to administer drugs from the time of discharge in the afternoon of January 18, 2024, until the police appearance in the morning of January 19, 2024, and in fact, in the urine sample collected by the client at Seoul Yongsan Police Station, “No drug substances, such as methamphetamine, which is currently mentioned in the media, were detected,” he said.
He continued, “We would like to clarify that the client was not in a situation where he had taken drugs, regardless of the type, at the time of his police appearance on January 19, 2024. The client’s actions while attending the police around January 19, 2024, were indicative of drug use. “It was not caused by , but rather by the delirium that occurred after the surgery,” he added.
Regarding the issue of ‘methamphetamine use’, which attracted attention as to whether it was true or not, Sedam’s side said, “There is no fact that philopon substances were detected in the client’s hair test results submitted during the investigation. This is the opinion of our legal representative, who attended the investigation as a defense attorney. He emphasized, “This is something I personally confirmed through the hair analysis report presented by the Seoul Yongsan Police Station.”
We ask the media to politely request a report that reflects a corrective report or a counterargument regarding the article that reported the suspect under investigation conclusively as if it were a confirmed fact, especially the content that ‘It was confirmed that methamphetamine was detected in the hair.’ “He requested.
Sik-K, who made his face known by appearing on Mnet’s ‘Show Me the Money 4’ which aired in 2015, released a number of singles and mini albums that year, starting with his debut single ‘My Man’. He released his first full-length album ‘FL1P’ in 2019, and a new full-length album ‘POP A LOT’ containing 17 songs was released in August last year.
