Nafla, a rapper who was suspended from prosecution for “smoking hemp,” built a new nest in Groublin, headed by Ravi from Group VIXX. It has been about two months since the public criticized the drug controversy.
On the 22nd, Napla belatedly apologized for the hemp smoking incident, saying, “I’m really sorry for delivering the unpleasant news. After looking back and thinking a lot about myself, I’m so sorry to say hello.”
He continued, “I was disappointed and hurt many people while smoking hemp. As he became loose and weak, he did what he shouldn’t do,” he said. “I realized that he was very much aware that he had a lot of awareness that hemp is not allowed in Korea. I am reflecting on it.”
Napla promised, “I am so sorry to the fans who have supported me and paid attention to me, which I am still lacking. I will make my best efforts to grow up and become a good person.”
At the same time, he announced the conclusion of an exclusive contract with Groovlin. Napla said, “At the time when the contract with MekitRain was nearing, I had a meeting with Groublin to write a contract about the transfer. Since then, I have had several conversations about the contract due to an incident that occurred due to my fault, and as a result, Groblin He announced that he decided to continue with the promise he made to be with me.”

Groublin also explained the news of Napla’s recruitment and the process through the official SNS. According to this, Groublin was right to accompany Napla, whom he had met in July, and was in the process of transferring to find an amicable agreement with Mekit Lane in the same month. Grublin reported that after signing a contract with Napla in August, he took a new profile picture, produced a new album, and filmed a music video.
Nafla’s alleged drug smoking was known only in October when the fact was reported. Groublin said, “With a lot of worries, long conversations and communication with the artist, and his sincere determination for a considerable amount of time, we made a difficult final decision by not breaking the contract signed with artist Napla in August 2020. .
He added, “As a groublin artist, Napla, we will do our best to become a responsible artist who has a good influence without forgetting the wounds he has given to everyone in the past.”
Groublin is a hip-hop label headed by Ravi, which includes rapper Cold Bay, Chilin Homi, and Singer Sido.
On the other hand, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency’s drug investigator handed over five people, including rappers Nafla, Luffy, Oleft, Young West, and Blue of the agency Mekit Lane, to the prosecution on charges of violating the law on drug management. He was charged with smoking cannabis in the studios of his agency in August and September of last year.
Prosecutors prosecuted only Young West among them, and put the prosecution on hold, considering the fact that the remaining four, including Nafla, were first offenders.

Hello, this is Napla.
I am very sorry for the unsavory news. After looking back and thinking a lot about myself, I am so sorry that I am finally saying hello.
I smoked hemp, causing disappointment and damage to many people. As they loosened and weakened themselves, they did something they shouldn’t do.
In particular, I am greatly aware of the lack of awareness that hemp is not allowed in Korea, and I am greatly reflecting on it. I am so sorry to the fans who supported me and cared about me, which I am still lacking. I will make every effort to become a good person by becoming more alert and growing. I bow my head and apologize. Sorry.
And, at the time of the close of my contract with Mekit Lane, I met with Groublin to write a transfer contract. Since then, due to an incident caused by my fault, I have had several conversations about the contract, and as a result, Groublin decided to continue with my promise to be with me. Once again, I apologize to everyone and I will try to become a more mature and good person.
The following is the full text of the entrance statement to Groublin.
Good morning. This is Groovin.
In the tough times of Corona 19, it was already December in 2020, and it is ahead of 2021.
First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the many people who have continued to cherish and support Groovlin this year. Nothing else, I have news to deliver, so I was greeted like this.
In July 2020, Groublin had a relationship with artist Napla and decided to share the future. In the same month, the original agency MekitRain and Groublin met for the sake of a legal process and to eliminate misunderstandings between the two companies. In the process, we found an amicable agreement and were in the process of transferring.
In August 2020, Grublin and artist Napla wrote a contract related to the transfer and took the artist’s profile photo, produced a new album, and filmed a music video. In October 2020, Groublin became aware of an unfortunate incident involving artist Nafla.
After that, Groublin made a difficult final decision by not breaking the contract signed with artist Napla in August 2020, amid countless worries, long conversations and communication with the artist, and his sincere determination for a considerable amount of time.
As of December 2020, now as a grublin artist Napla, Groublin will do our best to become a responsible artist who does not forget the wounds he has given to everyone in the past and has a good influence.
I hope that all of you who love Groublin will be full of happiness and joy that have been delayed for a while in the upcoming New Year 2021, and hope that next year will be full of only smiles. Thank you.
