Actor Kim Sung-min detained over drug
Police have detained actor Kim Sung-min for allegedly using philopon, a drug banned in Korea. It is the second time the actor, 41, has been detained over the drug.
Seongnam Sujeong police plan to request an arrest warrant tomorrow for Kim. Police have arrested five alleged distributors of the drug, including a man, 22, identified by the surname Park, and seven who allegedly bought the drug from the distributors, including a girl, 17, surnamed Kim. Police allege Park smuggled 150 grams of the drug from Cambodia, worth 300 million won ($260,000) and enough for about 3,000 people. Kim smuggled the same drug from the Philippines from April 2008 to August 2010 and used it more than four times in September 2010. A court sentenced Kim to two years and six months in jail, suspended for four years, and fined him 900,000 won for the offences. |
