Mr. Lee has been sentenced to four years of imprisonment for three years in prison after he was arrested on suspicion of smuggling hemp oil cartridges and hemp jelly and smuggling it into Korea.

In September, he was released 48 days after he came to the prosecution and said that he had been suffering from a lot of suffering because of his fault.

The court said it considered the drug, including hemp, as a serious crime that causes great harm to society as a whole, but that it had no other criminal history and that all imported hemp was seized and not used or distributed.

We did not order probation or medication classes.

The prosecution said it would analyze the ruling and decide whether to appeal.
