Reports claim he filed the appeal on the 23rd through his attorney. He had been sentenced to 1.5 years in prison and an additional charge of 550,000 KRW (approximately $470 USD). He had told Star News, "I'm going to file an appeal immediately". His attorney said, "We worked hard to receive a light sentence, but he received a heavy sentences of 1.5 years. It's disappointing that he received a heavy sentence because it was a repeated offense. We will be making an effort to lighten the sentence in the appeal."

The court had said, "He committed this offense while on a probation period for his previous offense, and considering his previous two instances of buying and multiple instances of smoking marijuana, his crime cannot be considered light. Even while he was being investigated for it, he continued to commit this offense. He does not seem to be regretting his actions either."
