Julien Kang, a French-Canadian TV actor and model, is under investigation for alleged drug use, a senior police officer told The Korea Observer Thursday.

He said the probe began after the 32-year-old actor was found sleeping in “torn-out underwear” in broad daylight in Gangnam, Seoul on Sept. 18.



Kang drank all night and passed out on the way home in front of a building in Gangnam, says Kim Sang-eun, the CEO of Julien Kang’s agency Show Brothers Entertainment.Kim, however, denies allegations that Kang was under the influence of illicit drugs.“Julien went to a club a day before and ended up drinking too much as he didn’t want to refuse acquaintances’ requests to drink despite his low tolerance,” he said.“He took a drug test yesterday upon the request of the police. And the results were negative.”Kim lamented that Kang has become a victim of a witch hunt in Korea and foreigners like him are an easy target to the media and police here.“We will not further cooperate with the police,” he said.Kim said Kang was wearing his training outfits, not underwear, when he was found on the street on Aug. 18.Both the police and Kim denied news reports that Kang was arrested for public intoxication.“Police handed him over to me so I took Julien home. He was never arrested,” Kim said.Julien Kang is the younger brother of mixed martial artist Denis Kang.
