Park Yoochun has received a suspended 10-month prison sentence for drug charges.

On July 2nd, the singer attended his sentencing hearing at the Suwon District Court with several fans in attendance. But instead of the 1.5 yr prison sentence the prosecutors requested, the judge sentenced Yoochun to a 10-month prison sentence suspended for 2 years of probation and treatment. He was also fined 1.4 million won (~$1,200).

The judge explained his reasoning behind the reduced sentence saying, "because he confessed to his crimes and is showing signs of reflection as well as the fact that he's a first time offender, I decided to give him a suspended sentence. But if he commits an offense during the 2 yr probation period he will receive a 10 month sentence."

On his way out from court, he said to the reporters, "I want to apologize again for causing concern. I will give back to society and reflect on my actions. I'm sorry."

When asked to say something to his fans, he began tearing up and said,"I'm sorry. I feel so sorry to the fans who supported me. I'm really sorry."

When asked whether he plans to appeal the conviction he said, "I'm sorry for my actions. I will live diligently in reflection."

Yoochun was charged with purchasing 1.5 grams of Philopon on 3 occasions between February and March 2019 with his former girlfriend Hwang Hana and injecting the drug on 7 occasions. He confessed to the crimes and admitted he was guilty on all charges.

1. [+859, -25] Imagine if this had been a non-celebrity who got caught with drugs ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's obvious there was some bribing going on behind the scenes. We really need to revamp our entire legal system.

2. [+837, -16] First offense? This is such a joke ㅋ

3. [+660, -12] What a gag show.. ㅋ

4. [+33, -0] He used drugs seven times so why is the court counting all of that as a first offense? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+20, -0] The law is crazy

6. [+20, -0] I guess we can all do drugs now ㅋㅋ if you don't get caught, keep doing it, and if you get caught, just say it's your first offense and that you're reflecting so you get off with probation ㅋㅋ

7. [+17, -1] He lied to the entire public with his press conference and he got probation ㅋㅋ Korean judges are truly amazing. No wonder it's so easy to commit crimes in our country.

8. [+17, -2] I just have nothing to say because this country is so hopeless

9. [+14, -1] Well this will set a nice precedent... everyone in our country who doesn't have a prior offense record can all do drugs now!!! If you get caught, you can just get probation...

10. [+14, -0] Reflection? Did he seem like he was reflecting when he held that press conference? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Drug use shouldnt be sth jail sentence worthy so its not bad punishment. Would need some rehab though.

He seems like he took ten years in a month. I hope that he is actually really reflecting on his acts.
