According to Sports World, on February 27, 2020, Gyeonggi Provincial Police Department released confirmation that ex-iKON leader tested negative for drugs.
“B.I has tested negative in his illegal drug use evaluation,” a Gyeonggi police representative said. “The Gyeonggi police carried out meticulous evaluations by sending B.I’s hair follicles to the National Forensics Department, and the results concluded that no illegal drug substances were found.”
“B.I’s illegal drug use and dealing case has now come to a wraps, and police will be forwarding the case over to prosecution soon,” the representative added.
In June 2019, drug allegations from 2016 surfaced involving B.I which later led to his departure from iKON and YG Entertainment. At the time, texts between B.I (Kim Han-Bin) and “A” (later to revealed to be former trainee Han Seo-Hee) surfaced that showed the two discussing marijuana and the possible purchase of LSD. In a statement, B.I admitted that he thought about purchasing the aforementioned drugs before ultimately deciding against it. In September 2019, B.I was questioned in the case.
The case has been forwarded to the prosecution. No further information has been obtained regarding the status of the prosecution’s case and investigation.
