Lee Sun-ho, the eldest son of CJ Group Chairman Lee Jae-hyun, who was accused of smoking a variety of hemp and smuggling it into the country, appealed to the court in an appeal court.

In the first trial of Lee's appeal for violating the law on drug administration, which was held today (7th) at the Seoul Criminal Criminal Division, Lee acknowledged the prosecution's case.

The trial ended today without Mr. Lee's dispute with the prosecution.

"I regret and sincerely regret having acted so foolishly in court," Lee said. "I am sorry for the disappointment of my parents, family, wife and co-workers who suffered from my fault." .

Mr. Lee replied shortly, “I am an office worker” to a presiding judge's question.

Mr. Lee's lawyer said, "The defendant admitted and reflected on his crimes and asked for redemption in the process of investigation." I want a place for the defendant who has to live a new life as a father of a child. "

The prosecution sentenced him to five years in prison.

Mr. Lee was arrested on September 1 at 4:55 am and was imprisoned for imprisonment for smuggling 180 hemp oil cartridges and candy-jelly-type hemp from the United States at Incheon International Airport. He was sentenced to three years of probation in three years.

When caught by customs authorities, his suitcase contained 20 hemp oil cartridges, and 37 hemp candy and 130 jelly-type hemp were hidden in his shoulder backpack.

Hemp smoking equipment was also found.

Mr. Lee was also accused of smoking six hemp oil cartridges in Los Angeles, USA for five months from early April to August 30.

The court decided to sentence Mr. Lee's appeal on July 7.
