The recent revelation regarding rapper Sik-K’s surrender to police for drug use has sparked widespread discussion and speculation within the music industry and among his fanbase. Now, the rapper has issued a statement regarding reports with misleading information.
Sik-K Addresses Reports with Misleading Information
The report, initially disclosed by TenAsia on April 29, unveiled Sik-K as the individual who voluntarily turned himself in to authorities in January of the current year.
Amidst the unfolding narrative, Sik-K’s legal representatives swiftly stepped forward to address what they deemed as misinformation surrounding the case. In an official statement, they refuted claims suggesting that Sik-K’s surrender was linked to drug use. Instead, they attributed his behavior during the police encounter to delirium stemming from post-surgery complications.

The statement shed light on Sik-K’s medical history, revealing that he underwent surgery for a shoulder rotator cuff injury sustained during his military service. Following the procedure, Sik-K was prescribed sleeping pills, which reportedly led to delirium symptoms around the time of the police encounter.
Sik-K Denies Hard Drug Use
Despite these clarifications, Sik-K’s legal team acknowledged his admission to charges related to the possession and use of marijuana. However, they emphasized the absence of any evidence indicating involvement with more potent substances such as Philopon, a form of methamphetamine.
Following the police investigation, Sik-K was transferred to the Seoul Western District Prosecutors’ Office on April 18, where he faced charges under the Narcotics Control Act. The decision not to detain Sik-K during this process underscores the complex nature of the case and the nuances surrounding drug-related offenses in South Korea.
Sik-K’s journey in the music industry, notably propelled by his participation in Season 4 of Mnet’s “Show Me the Money,” has been marked by both acclaim and controversy. Despite parting ways with H1GHR MUSIC, Sik-K continued to carve out his path, establishing his own label, KC, in 2023.
As the legal proceedings unfold, the revelations surrounding Sik-K’s involvement in this case serve as a sobering reminder of the challenges and complexities faced by artists navigating the pressures of fame and the spotlight. Amidst the uncertainties, Sik-K’s fanbase and the broader music community await further developments with a sense of anticipation and concern for the rapper’s well-being and future endeavors.
