Amid reports that actor Lee Sang-bo has died, the agency said it is "understanding the current situation." Lee Sang-bo, who was falsely accused of "drug administration" four years ago, returned to his work two years ago and signed an exclusive contract with a new management last year to announce a new start.

The Hankook Ilbo reported on the 27th that actor Lee Sang-bo was found dead on the 26th. According to reports, police have been dispatched to the scene due to the family's report and are currently investigating.

Lee Sang-bo's agency, Korea Management Group (KMG), said in a phone call with Star News, "We are checking the current reports and grasping the situation. I'll check the facts and tell you my position," he said.

Lee Sang-bo made his debut in the KBS2 drama 'The Longest Number of Invisible Men' in 2006 and is an actor. He then played in JTBC's "Private Life," KBS2's "Miss Monte Cristo," and "Elegant Empire," as well as "Daughter-in-law's Full Age" and "Naughty Love."

Lee Sang-bo was arrested in September 2022 by police who were dispatched after receiving a report that a man who appeared to be drunk was running on the street. Later, Lee Sang-bo said that a simple drug reagent test tested positive for "morphine," but denied the drug charges and said it was because of the depression drug he was taking. His doctor also stressed in a medical certificate that Lee Sang-bo is taking antidepressants and nerve glasses, and that it is not an illegal drug. Accordingly, the police requested an appraisal to the National Forensic Service, and Lee Sang-bo was dismissed as "not charged" in about 20 days.

Lee Sang-bo appeared on the show after clearing the suspicion of drug use and complained of unfairness. Lee Sang-bo said, "No, I cried hundreds and thousands of times. I made it impossible to live my life in a moment," he said, complaining of unfairness.

Since then, Lee Sang-bo has made a comeback in a year with the drama 'Elegant Empire' in partnership with a new management. In an interview with Star News in 2024, Lee Sang-bo said, "It was once very difficult, but now it is possible to joke (about drugs)."

He signed an exclusive contract with KMG in January last year to announce another new start, but he came to share unfortunate news.
