According to police in Gwacheon, Gyeonggi Province, Hwang, 37, arrived at Incheon International Airport earlier in the morning and is currently being questioned over drug-related allegations. She is suspected of having used methamphetamine with two acquaintances in southern Seoul in 2023, again coming under investigation.
Police declined to comment further, but Hwang reportedly fled to Southeast Asia shortly after becoming aware that she was a target of a police investigation and is believed to have lived in Cambodia.
After Interpol issued a blue notice to locate her, Hwang suggested she would cooperate and appear for questioning, prompting police to initiate formal arrest procedures and travel to Cambodia to bring her back.
Hwang, who previously drew public attention for her relationship with singer-turned-actor Park Yoo-chun, was convicted of using methamphetamine three times between May and September 2015 at her home in Seoul and elsewhere and received a suspended prison sentence in 2019.
The following year, she was again convicted on drug-related charges and received a harsher sentence of 20 months in prison.
The recidivist was also booked last year for alleged drug use in 2023, as part of an investigation into a drug case involving the late actor Lee Sun-kyun.
