The tragic incident happened amid the investigation into his alleged drug use.

Prior to this, Lee Sun Kyun's wife Jeon Hye Jin reported his disappearance to the police. Unfortunately, he died at the age of 48. His body was found inside his car, parked in a parking lot in central Seoul.

A charcoal briquette, which was commonly used in suicide via carbon monoxide poisoning, was found in the passenger seat.

Lee Sun Kyun, Jeon Hye Jin Loses Brand Deals

Before Lee Sun Kyun's death, the celebrity couple faced backlash from brands due to the actor's alleged involvement in drugs.

At the time, different brands, like SK Telecom, dropped their endorsement activities. A health supplement brand also did the same thing and stopped airing the endorsements featuring the celebrity couple.

At the same time, reports cited that they might face financial repercussions due to a breach of contract.

Pop culture critic and commentator Kim Heon Sik told YTN News that the advertising industry was the one that was very active when it came to their celebrities experiencing negative issues.

"Lee Sun Gyun is popular in the ad industry due to his commendable image. Consequently, the fallout from this situation will be massive and likely affect his future film roles."
