“A lot of drug dependence… Wrongly admitted”
Singer Wheesung (real name Choi Hwiseong 39), who is charged with taking propofol, a sleep anesthetic, has been sentenced to probation from imprisonment.

He also ordered 40 hours of social service, 40 hours of drug therapy lectures, and an additional 60.5 million won.
Judge Cho told Choi, “The defendant has enjoyed many benefits as a famous entertainer who has been loved by the public.” “He said.
“The defendant had already been prosecuted in July 2018 for a similar offense in which zolpidem was administered.In March 2020, when the case was investigated, the defendant was found unconscious using a specialized drug similar to propofol “I think the defendant’s dependence on narcotics is significant,” he pointed out.
Judge Cho said, “However, the defendant is belatedly regretting his mistake and is admitted to the hospital for treatment. He said the reason for the sentence, saying, “I decided on the sentence in consideration of the missing points.”
After the decision, Wheesung did not comment on the question of the reporter’s feelings, and took a taxi with the party to exit the courthouse.
He was accused of taking Propofol several times in December 2019.
The Gyeongsangbuk-do Police Agency investigated Choi by imprisonment and sent it to the prosecution in April last year.
