In addition, the court ordered a 40-hour completion of a drug addiction treatment program and a fine of 153.16 million won.
The court said "Park purchased ketamine, ecstasy, and cannabis several times during the considerable period, and administered and smoked them. In addition, it is difficult to deny that there are antisocial signs, such as buying and using drugs as much as you want without any restrictions on a daily basis", he pointed out.
In addition, Park frequently encountered drugs by instructing and soliciting business officials and acquaintances who were in a difficult position to reject his request, resulting in their involvement as accomplices.
In the meantime, "The quality of the crime is quite bad and there is not a lot of room for criticism. It seems that the dependence on drugs is very high and the possibility of recidivism is also high. "Park committed the crime to relieve sleep disorders and depression that he has experienced for a long time. " confessing to drug dependence, he strongly pledges to overcome it and not to repeat it. Family and acquaintances are pleading for leniency"The reason for the sentencing was revealed.
Park is accused of administering drugs with acquaintances several times at his home after being handed over drugs by BJ Kim Kang-pae (real name Kim Jae-wang, 34), a YouTuber who was a gangster.
Since then, Park confessed in August last year "A year and a half ago and went to the police station." Since then, I have been investigated faithfully by the police" he said.
