Supreme Court confirms Han Seo Hee's 1.5 year prison sentence for her second illegal drug offense

On July 28, the Supreme Court of South Korea upheld the district court's initial ruling in former idol trainee Han Seo Hee's second illegal drug use case. 

Previously, Han Seo Hee was indicted for suspected use of the illegal drug methamphetamine in June of 2020. She was indicted while still on probation for illegal drug use from 2016, for which she received 4 probationary years in 2017. In November of 2021, Han Seo Hee was sentenced to a year and 6 months in prison by the Suwon District Court for her second illegal drug offense. She chose to appeal the sentence, denying her charges by stating that her "urine test results could not be trusted because the cup was dropped in the toilet."

Now, the Supreme Court has upheld the initial ruling, which stated, "The defendant refuses to reflect on the illegality of her actions and continues to make incomprehensible claims."
