UPDATED: Drugs Make Their Way Into Boys Over Flowers

UPDATE: It’s not Lim Joo Hwan the actor who is under investigation, just a commoner with the same name – sorry for the confusion, but the Korean media reported incorrectly! Stay tuned for more developments.

Joo Ji Hoon isn’t the only celebrity guilty of using drugs. There are actually more celebrities involved than first thought. Actor Lim Joo Hwan, who started out as a model and became an actor just like his pal Joo Ji Hoon, hasn’t exactly made it big yet, but he did play a supporting role in the never-ending drama Boys Over Flowers. All you avid Boys Over Flowers fans will recognize him as So Yi Jeong’s older brother. Too bad his career is going to tank before it even got anywhere, as he is under investigation for taking drugs as well. A rookie singer whose name and gender is unknown is also under investigations, but no one really cares until names are given.

I’m sure there will be even more developments shortly, so stay tuned…

  3. OMG … How can they make this sort of mistakes? It’ll ruin their career. No more mistakes please..

  4. ehh??? so did he or did he not get involved in this drug investigations?? =S

  5. oh that sucks for him. the media made him look bad when he didn’t do anything.

  6. Hahah wow what a HUGE miscosmpection poor lim joo hwan!!

  7. I’m sooooo glad it’s not him ~ ^^

  8. drug sandal again?
    wow…. very disappointed.

  9. omg why ? T.T

  10. thank goodness!!
    i was like…oh no…..
    but…isn’t his name IM Ju Hwan?
    or is Lim and Im the same?

  11. I’m curious to know which drugs they’re using! :P

  12. CHECK FACTS

  13. o why im not surprised?
    coz i know artists’s behaviour are normally bad…
    weird personality…looks nice on cam…but behind the scenes..most of them are BAD
    i wont be a fan of any artists..sorry~~just like songs..n watching movie/drama..enough for me..dont care who’s singing o whatever…

  14. couldn’t let this go by. you get jailed in the us for use as well so i understand the problems that’ll come to the artists that are users.

    what i don’t understand is what’s up with the snitching? if you’re busted why are you implicating others? dealers need to shut up and own up!

  15. Wow this article was a pile of fail its ok though. Its better off that the drugs aren’t making that big of an impact in the Korean celeb world.

  16. well, didnt know him until BOF but
    tsk tsk..there goes life

  17. oh, got ur facts wrong?

  18. OHHH MI !!!

  19. Just a “commoner” XD That’s why you can’t be too hasty

  20. Tsk tsk. Good bye to those careers that weren’t that big in the first place.

  21. Aw, i liked him too! I knew him from the movie DoReMiFaSoLaTiDo and BOF. This is getting way out of hand…TT_TT

  22. UPDATE:

    Im Ju Hwan from BOF is not the one doing drugs. It’s somebody with the same name as him, not a celebrity but a regular person.

    ~~~~

    its not the guy from bof aparently thts the new update .>>

    confusing or what.

  23. Carolee

    the reason why ur not fussed about it is because ur friend u said does it 2.

    if people around you do drugs, obvi your going to think its not a big deal esp wen their ur friends >.>

    Drugs r bad and just nothing can convince me a good reason why people would take it.

    stress or not, theres many ways to get over things.

  24. 66&74;@ the guy from BoA’s Key Of Heart mv is the Hottie Lee Donghae from Super Junior! Not him….come on, they don’t look 1% the same! Donghae<3

  25. wait.. is he the one in BoA’s Key of Heart Korean MV??
    drugs taking over korean celebrity… 0_o

  26. Sucks. I knew him as Yi Jung’s hyung.

  27. wow~
    he hasn’t even hit it big yet & his career is already over~
    poor kid..

  28. o no!! I know him from Loveletter!! he was so nice and sweet ;_; I knew I really liked him :((

  29. If this were the US, this wouldn’t get that scrutinized lol I find it amusing how different cultures can be

  30. Don’t know what are they thinking..
    -.-!

  31. why do they gotta try to bring in all the celebs who are involved. as long as the caught the dealer they should just get it done with and move on.

  32. stupid dumbasses…trying to mess their lives up..

  33. he looks like tha guy from boa’s key of heart.

  34. First time i saw him on Snow Queen..He’s quite charming there..I liked him since then..But when i saw BBF. i noticed there’s something about Joo Hwan that suddenly changed my mind about him..He’s not charming anymore..He gets thinner..Hmm, so this is the answer..
    Too bad he’s involved in using drugs..

  35. If anything, ecstasy is the drug with he least amount of detrimental effects. It has more therapeutic effects and makes people happier, NOT suicidal. The only thing you have to worry about when taking ecstasy is overheating, which is easily resolvable by drinking a few water bottles (Not TOO much though, there are cases where people have died of water intoxication). If this dude was doing one of the hardcore drugs like heroin or cocaine, then that’s something worth talking about. Ecstasy? Not at all.

  36. seems boring to partEEE in Korea, sad

  37. Crack is whack!
    My elementary school brainwashed me well :D

  38. What!? Noooo not Im Juhwan too ToT

  39. Yeah, drugs are bad. But it’s not like they would care if someone told them. I still think that it’s their choice though, and not someone elses. Even if it’s a ‘big thing’ in Korea.

  40. reallly disappointed. i thought i saw big things coming for lim joo hwan too ya know? good looks, decent acting chops,but nope, he had to go ruin his fricken career. oh god this gets more and more sad everytime it’s updated :(

  41. hhaha wow, ketamine and e?? those guys know how to party

  42. wow~ unexpected~~

  43. wow..what’s with korean celebrities nowadays…drugs..suicide…>< i was hoping for them to be humane and not follow America or anything (from what I see, don’t bash) …but i hope they would come to their senses!

  44. IT IS NOT THIS LIM JOO HWAN THAT DID DRUGS. It was a non-celebrity with the same name. Korea is not known for its trustworthy journalism. It’s stupid to believe everything a Korean news provider says, because they NEVER check their facts before releasing an article. Much like AKP.

  45. and that’s why you try to not get caught

  46. @13 if leaving them alone makes anythg any better then allkpop shud just close since they shud leave other ppl’s business too =.=”

  47. >___< despite how much i hate this whole drug thing…in America,celebs just get more fame,go to rehab,even if it’s for a day or two,then people begin to be like,”well…that’s over with”.i have to mentally prepare myself for the release of more celebs.please don’t let it be anyone involve in BOF…

  48. Too bad that his career is getting cut short.
    Kids, this is why we don’t do drugs.
