    drug probe?

    Lee has gone through three rounds of police questioning on suspicions of using marijuana and other illegal drugs at the home of a hostess working at a high-end bar in Seoul’s Gangnam district on multiple occasions since early this year, including last Saturday, when the questioning lasted for 19 hours.

      the police and justice systems in Japan and Korea are awful. Seriously look up articles and videos on the subject. There is plenty out there, from credible sources.

        They’re stupidly strict about things like pot but unhealthy drinking habits are encouraged. The culture around these things causes so much harm.

          It’s like that in most of East Asia (and Southeast as well). I don’t know what will turn that around, Thailand’s cannabis legalization was the only hope but that is also at risk of being taken back.
