It wasn’t so, and the Wheesung Propofol medication was true. The prosecution sought three years in prison for Wheesung, who was charged with habitual administration of Propofol.
According to Andong Ji-won of the Daegu District Law on the 22nd, the prosecution sought three years in prison at a trial held on the 19th for Wheesung, who was detained for violating the Narcotics Management Act.
Wheesung was accused of administering several times his acquaintance A and Propofol in 2019, and it is said that he admitted most of the charges in the first trial.
Wheesung was born in 1982 and was selected by YG Entertainment in 2002, making her debut with her first regular album,’Like a Movie’. As the title song’Can’t do it’ gained sensational popularity, he became a star with’With Me’, which was included in his 2nd album’It’s Real’, for six consecutive weeks in a terrestrial music program.
2004 3rd album’For the Moment’, 2005 4th album’Love… Love..? The albums released such as’Love…!’ gained popularity. R&B-style vocals and amazing techniques have planted the public’s perception of being a’skillful singer’. After that, I received love by hitting many songs such as’Love is delicious ♡’,’Insomnia’, and’I even thought about marriage’.
He has also proven his ability to write lyrics. It attracted attention with unique lyrics through Younha’s’Password 486′, Lee Hyo-ri’s’Hey Mr. Big’, T-ara’s’Go Crazy for You’, and Orange Caramel’s’Magic Girl’.
However, Wheesung was stigmatized on charges of taking propofol. Propofol is a sleep anesthetic called’milk injection’. Although widely used for general sleep anesthesia, it has been classified as a psychotropic drug, one of the narcotics in Korea since 2011 due to the risk of addiction in case of abuse. Famous celebrities, conglomerates and professionals who cannot easily fall asleep due to stress, etc. are exposed to the temptation of propofol. .
Wheesung was suspicious of routine administration of Propofol at a dermatology clinic in Gangnam, Seoul from 2011 to early 2013, but was found free of charges in an investigation conducted by the prosecution during his military service. In April 2019, a suspicion of propofol was raised due to the exposure of broadcaster Amy, but Wheesung explained that it was “for treatment purposes.”
Last year, he was found lost and collapsed while taking etomidate, a type of sleeping anesthetic, in a bathroom in a building in Songpa-gu, Seoul. Etomydate is a drug that is not classified as a narcotic drug, and the police took measures to return home after investigating Wheesung.
Wheesung faced the biggest crisis after 19 years of debut. Many fans are showing regret for his news.
