Police said yesterday they are investigating a famous pop singer and a producer on charges of drug use.
The singer, identified only by the initial K, and the DJ-turned-producer, identified only as H, are charged, respectively, with using marijuana and MDMA, commonly known as ecstasy.

Both undertook a drug test at the National Police Agency and acknowledged the charges after the tests proved positive, police said.

Another singer from a four-woman group, identified as S, is also suspected of using drugs and was summoned by police, but she strongly denied the charge. Her urine test, taken after she was interrogated on Feb. 22, reportedly was negative but police said they had requested further examination by the National Institute of Scientific Investigation.

Since popular entertainers are involved, an official said police investigations are being handled prudently. "Whether an arrest warrant will be requested will be decided next week and if further investigation reveals that both have taken drugs regularly, it is likely that they will be arrested," the official said.

The management company for the female band released a statement yesterday saying the drug allegation against the band member is groundless. It noted the urine test was negative and said reports of further drug tests are untrue.

Police also said three nonentertainers have been arrested, including one for supplying drugs, while seven others are being investigated.


of course the non stars have already been arrested!
reason why the stars havent been arrested yet?
the girl band? emmmm wonder who it is...
anyway they should all get busted.. becuase many have in the past.

too bad there was no foreigner involved, then they could have just blamed him and said the foreigner forced them to take drugs!

How do you know there isn't a foreigner in the group already arrested? Wouldn't that blow a hole in your whole scapegoating theory?

remember a few years ago when the pop singer 'PSY' was pinched for drugs?
he was ratted on by someone who knew his business.
the police coerced him to submit to a drug test through threats of a higher penalty if he refused and subsequently proven guilty.

my theory is that pop stars are exposed to keep their progressive values from influencing society. all those soju breathing cavemen don't want to give up the easy life just yet.


as for the law...
police are required to show you a warrant signed by a judge, before they submit you to a urine or DNA test. often, threats or coersion are used to frighten the subject into submitting.
warrants are easily obtainable in this country, however. all it takes is 2 independant accusations for a judge to issue one... or 1 peice of hard evidence.

the police can detain you for 72 hours without granting you access to a lawyer or any phone calls.

as for penalties....

why are people so hung up on drugs? alcohol is actually the most toxic drug out there. did you know that the only drug withdrawl that can actually kill you is alcohol? my friend works in an addiction clinic back home and she says the people who have the hardest time are the alcoholics, as it's socially acceptable and intensely hard to quit.

[skinhead]

Quite right, PP. I certainly don't condone the use of legal or illegal substances where they can *beep* up a person's life. So many people reach for these things because their lives are already fucked up, and that's fucked up but understandable.

Whatever, I'll believe the Korean media is fair and unbiased if they shoot and broadcast video of these celebrities,with their names in full at the bottom of the screen, taken at the very moment they give their depositions to the police (like they do to foreigners and other regular folk). I'm not holding my breath. Only regular folk have the privilege of having their privacy infringed upon, especially when their agents and some TV producers are both pissing in the same pot.
