As "drug king" Park Wang-yeol, who was serving time in the Philippines, was repatriated to Korea and arrested, the possibility of a reinvestigation with the Burning Sun case in the past is being discussed.

Asked about the possibility of investigating Park Wang-yeol and re-investigating Burning Sun on the 2nd, acting National Police Agency Commissioner Yoo Jae-sung said, "If the relevance is confirmed in the future, we will strictly investigate it in accordance with laws and principles."

When asked if the investigation included celebrities such as celebrities and politicians, he also declined to comment, saying, "It is difficult to elaborate on the issues under investigation."

Park Wang-yeol is suspected of distributing a large amount of drugs in Korea, including methamphetamine, ecstasy, and ketamine, which were smuggled from abroad. So far, the amount of distribution that has been identified is known to be worth about 3 billion won. Even while imprisoned in the Philippines, Park Wang-yeol was found to have managed the domestic distribution network by working under the nickname "Worldwide" on Telegram.

With the repatriation of such Park Wang-yeol, the possibility of the investigation expanding to large drug cases and the entertainment industry in the past has increased. Hwang Ha-na, the granddaughter of Namyang Dairy's founder who was punished for drug administration, is known to have purchased drugs through Park Wang-yeol's distribution network. Hwang Ha-na has interacted with people related to Burning Sun Gate in the past.

Burning Sun Gate is an issue that caused a stir in the distribution of drugs in the club, sex crimes, and allegations of collusion. Seungri, a key figure at the time, from Big Bang, was convicted of prostitution and other charges. As a result, he was sentenced to six months in prison and released from prison in 2023.

Park Wang-yeol mentioned in a past interview, "If you open your mouth, (Korea) will be turned upside down once." Attention is focusing on whether such an investigation into the repatriation of Park Wang-yeol will lead to the expansion of the Burning Sun Gate investigation.

Meanwhile, Park Wang-yeol was repatriated to Korea on the 25th of last month. He is also the main culprit of the 2016 sugarcane murder case in which three Koreans were shot and killed in a sugarcane field in Bacolo City, Philippines. Park Wang-yeol was accused of killing three Koreans who fled to the Philippines after committing a similar reception crime worth 15 billion won in Korea and stealing 720 million won that they were trying to invest in the casino business. Park Wang-yeol, who escaped from prison twice while imprisoned, was eventually sentenced to 60 years in prison for murder and other charges.
