We still look to it – your come back in NOV 2011.
HAIL to KEYEAST ENTERTAINMENT.

once again,we love to drown in your drama series.!!! : )

Just to clarify:

Joo Ji-hoon will likely NOT spend any time in jail.

If you don’t know what a suspended jail sentence is, it means that you are given a probation term (in this case, 1 year) during which you can “prove” yourself clean, and therefore negate your initial sentence (6 months of jail). Suspended sentences are often given for particular crimes like drunk driving.

GO! JOO JI HOON GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOUR MY NO. ONE FANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

justice/law in a sense sometimes not just fair/unfiar ppl. A lot of law are not passed up due to public policy or political reasons. If you study law, you will see that. Remeber this is an article, not an offical law case report we read at the court, and God knows how media usually writes crap.

I don’t believe a Justice/Judge would say something as careless as giving light sentencing due to fan’s petition, Judges got brains. The reporters must write it in the wrong sense.

I don’t really know how serious drugs crime is in S.K (must be serious from what i see). But I don’t and won’t judge Ji Hoon based on his actions. I’m not his fan, but we don’t know what made him do drugs, is it fair to jugde him based on a this alone?

Ppl may say that he sets bad exmaple for youngsters and that his fans may follow him and do drugS!

Trust me! If his fans really follow him and do drugs, the problem lie in their brains (IQ) not, Ji Hoon’s character.

His acting in The Devil was stunning, so I really hope to see his come back

First of all, I really can’t believe that many of the comments are so negative. I don’t condone drug use but probably not for the same reasons that many of you disapprove of it. I’m not on some moral high horse and thinking it’s such an unforgivable thing to do but merely believe the risk for addiction it too high for it to be worth it. Whether it’s Korea or here in the states, society is so full of hypocrisy that it baffles me. For instance, if you go out to a club/bar you see so many people drink until they can’t even walk straight and that is socially acceptable. However, those who use recreational drugs but are not addicts are demonized compared to those who are full blown alcoholics. People tend to sympathize with alcoholics but see drug users as the scourge of society. Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, alcohol is a drug. One that not only impairs your judgment but your motor skills as well and it takes far less than most people think to get you to this state. I can go out almost anywhere and hear someone say they are going to drunk later that night and no one bats an eye or rather, encourages them. I find it interesting that people readily accept this type of behavior but not someone who does recreational drugs merely because governments deem one acceptable and not the other. I don’t think that ecstasy, in it’s pure state, is any more or less dangerous than alcohol. The only reason that the risk is higher with ecstasy is that you can’t be sure what extra “ingredients” the crazy person that made it put in it. Either way they both can be just as dangerous. Also, no matter what country your talking about the percentage of prescription drug and/or alcohol abuse far out weigh the number of illicit drug abuse. Now I’m not saying that we should legalize drugs or prohibit the use of alcohol but merely pointing out our social hypocrisies. I say let the punishment fit the crime.

With that said, I don’t believe that drug users or drug addicts should be imprisoned or treated as criminals unless an actual crime was committed. They should receive rehabilitation and a prison sentence will certainly not give them that. Addiction is just as much psychological as it is psychical and both have to be addressed in order for the person to recover. With this particular case it seems to be a case of experimentation and nothing more. Here in the states, unless he had the actual drugs in his possession, he would not have even been arrested and if he did have some on him (depending on the amount), he would have probably got off with probation since it was his first offense. But we’re talking about Korea and for those who say that the judge was out of line for taking the fans petitions into account well you are thinking in terms of the judicial system here but in Korea a persons character is put on trail much more so than here. I believe in Korea there could be a number of people that can speak on your behalf so his attorney probably took that into account when using the petitions. In the states, attorneys often use character witnesses to help win their cases. Therefore, it’s not so different. The point is that a drug addict is only hurting themselves and often suffer from other psychosocial issues that is the underlying problem so they should be offered help and not treated as if they just killed hundreds of people, no matter how disappointed you may be with them. In Ji Hoon’s case, he is not an addict but made a major error in judgment and the mere fact that he ruined his career, should be a good enough wake up call. There was no need for the government to waste money and take this to trail when I’m sure there are true criminals that should take precedence.
