		<description>Doing some kind of drugs doesn&#039;t necessarily make you a &quot;bad, bad person&quot;. Ecstasy isn&#039;t really a big deal... i&#039;ve never done it but i&#039;ve had weed plenty of times. As long as whatever recreational uses you have don&#039;t affect how you treat others or yourself, it shouldn&#039;t matter. It would be different if he was caught with coke, heroin or meth... but ecstasy shouldn&#039;t be treated differently than alcohol. It&#039;s okay for Koreans to drink however much they want... not any different.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t think the Koren society is &quot;too strict&quot;. Drug use is usually a no-no in most East Asian countries, particularly in the Far East. Not a no-no actually: it is taboo. Users are usually busted no matter how small the amount of drugs taken, no matter how &quot;low&quot; the substances are. It&#039;s just against the law, and any person who trespasses the law is to be sentenced--celebrity or not.

Ji Hon&#039;s &quot;case&quot; is normal among celebs. I mean, he should have known better. There are a lot of celebrities before whose careers totally went down the drain after being caught using prohibited substances. East Asian fans, you see, are very...how do we say this?...keen about their idols. They observe almost every step their idol makes. Idols in both Korean and Japanese societies are seen as &quot;different&quot; simply because they are in the limelight. Their societies aren&#039;t that forgiving, or shall we say lenient, when it comes to drug use. Even simple things such as non-celeb persons caught with celebs are already huge issues, especially in South Korea where there isn&#039;t a paparazzi but a huge network of fans and anti-fans.

drug use might be nothing to western countries but to us Asians, it is a HUGE mistake that might affect and ruin a person&#039;s entire life--celebrity or not. It might be very difficult for westerners to understand this but we Asians are just like that... hope it is understandable. 

But Ji Hon might be forgiven, given his recent act of enlisting himself in the Army. Maybe he can restart his career in the entertainment business after his military service. it is a very good move and the society is very likely to forgive him for it.(^_^)</description>

		<description>JJh, you are a very talented young man with charisma.  Using drugs to offset the pressure that you&#039;ve encountered is not a wise choice.  There are other means to let go frustrations!  In difficult times like this, it is important to pull yourself together and prepare for a better future.  As an overseas fan of yours, I sincerely hope to see you again in the Korean entertainment business.

Your acts in various dramas/movie demonstrated  that you have the gifted-talent as an actor and what moved me was your photo session taken with a lovely baby.  Your interactions with him revealed that tender, love and care as well as patience was exercised genuinely during the shooting/the set.  I see you more as a compassionate person rather than a model or actor. 

Life isn&#039;t fair.  You&#039;ve got the look, the talent, the physique, the charisma and the professionalism that the movie industry asked for, while other actors/models may not carry all these.  Don&#039;t throw them all away.  Show it to yourself and the others that you can utilize these elements positively.  Shape up and polish yourself.  Look forward to seeing you again on screen.  Your former actions brought along a big blow to your image to the public.  However, it is always sincerity that counts.  Give them the best shot and show them you are  completely off the hook with the wrongful past..  Convince them by showing determination to do good.  Hopefully, the producers/movie- directors or film-makers are willing to provide you with a chance to come back for the second time.    

Brillant guy like you should know what path to take in life.  Do spend some time to dig up the other good elements within yourself.  Say, even if ,acting can no longer be your career in the future, I believe that  you can be equally successful in other fields.  Have faith in yourself.

May you find happiness, love, joy and luck in your life.  You are one lucky soul on earth because a lot of your fans still support you!

P.S.:  Be persistent and resist all temptations.  With hard work and dedications, you can make it. 

BEST OF LUCK!!!</description>
