Joo Ji Hoon

Actor Joo Ji Hoon fronted up to court this morning to receive his sentencing after pleading guilty to drug use.

Joo Ji Hoon who rose to prominence in the drama Goong, has seen his stock nosedive after his arrest. He received a suspended sentence with one year probation. On top of a seemingly light sentence, he will have to complete 120 hours of community service and pay a 360,000 won fine (just over $280). This is actually a lighter sentence than he had sought earlier in the month. Joo Ji Hoon's sentence was also the lightest out of the group caught with the others who were indicted, receiving between 2 and 3 years jail time, again with probation and community service on top of that.

sucks for him. Although I still think it’s quite unfair since he got a lighter sentence since he’s an actor. He should totally learn his lesson and stop ruining his life.

This may be a light sentence in comparison of the other two, but considering he was indicted only for the use of drugs on just two occasions and that he willingly plead guilty and was compliant with the court—he was judged pretty fairly.

Also, this article fails to mention that the other two indicted with harsher sentences were for reasons of harsher crimes including illegally trafficking, financing, and selling the drugs.

This site needs to get better people to bring in correct information. If you’re not doing actual reporting, at least be accurate when translating Korean articles or stealing the translations from other English blogs. Sorry to take it out on this post because there’s a lot of them everywhere… For the most accurate translations just go to dramabeans’ website.

It’s sad how drugs can ruin your life.
I hope he gets better and maybe pick up on his career

It’s pretty crazy how you can get charged for using drugs. It does help keep the streets clean.. but i’m not judging him for it. if they get those sentences for light drugs, i wonder what you get for harder ones

 
fabien2x's avatar

i’m glad than he’s not going to jail. it’s just drug use…

 
icecreeaamm's avatar

man it’s so sad to see someone with sooo much talent have their whole career go down the drain cos of doing something so stupid… i really hope that sometime in the future after he’s payed for his so-called “crime” that it will all blow over and he can make a comeback. poor guy, i mean FFS he wasn’t harming anyone by doing it only himself and that’s his choice!

People drink alcohol as well——-and don´t have to go to jail either.


I would never send someone to jail for this crap.

I once said that he lost his best drug, which is life. Poor him but he definitely deserves a punishment for doing drugs. Drugs are only a harm for yourself and others, bleh.

 
Kristin's avatar

Upon reading ‘life in prison,’ I thought that meant he was sentenced to LIFE in prison. I was like, “Wow! The Korean government sure cracks down on drug use!!” O_o

 
Yasmin's avatar

i actually don’t really know what to say. it’s a touchy subject but he did do something wrong and reckless and has to face the consequences. it’s kinda sad. i just wish he didn’t do it in the first place. he’s like just killed his career. which is a shame cause he could’ve done so much more. but thats what he gets i guess….

Wrong story. Joo Ji-hoon will not spend time in jail. He was given a suspended sentence.

Such a waste.. the industry has really lost a talent. I hope he learns his lesson through all these….

 
R e s h m a  ♡'s avatar

I liked him in Goong!! =( ~ x X x ~

 
littleblackconverse's avatar

well, hopefully he will get his career back on track after a couple of years…it is shame since he such a good actor and this had to happen at the prime of his career

 
Nozomi's avatar

i think cause he owned up to what he did that may be why he got a lighter sentence, that and he is already suffering because of his career.

 
teenaxboee's avatar

sucks to be caught. shouldn’t have done drugs in the first place.

a tragic end to a young actor’s career, yet alone social life….
i think celebrities tend to think that they are invincible once they reach stardom…
like everything is covered for them and that they are entitled to special privileges and immunities, in this case with drugs and the law…
They need to figure out that they too are just like us non-celebrities and that they too are equally susceptible to get caught for doing unlawful “deeds”...
But other than bashing Joo Ji Hoon and others, I pray for him that he’ll find balance and stability in his life and find successes in the future…no good in condemning someone for a mistake they made in life…I think during these times, we need to support them (not saying we should support Joo Ji Hoon doing drugs…but support through love and compassion).

hope he learns from this mistake ...
