Rapper Killagram (Lee Jun-hee, 29) accused of 'possessing and inhaling marijuana' admitted all charges at trial.
At the first trial held today (21st) with the hearing of Senior Judge Park Seong-gyu of the Seoul Southern District Court, the 4th detective said, "I think I expressed my difficult and lonely feelings in Korea in a wrong way." I was dependent on it because I thought it was going to end,” he said.
Lee's lawyer appealed for leniency, saying, "The accused realized that the foundation of his life could collapse due to smoking marijuana." He said, "I am deeply regretting and reflecting."
Lee was arrested as a current offender by a police officer who received a report from a resident that he smelled burning mugwort while smoking marijuana at his home in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul in March.
Lee, who initially denied the allegations, is said to have admitted to inhaling marijuana when the police found evidence of cannabis and inhalers in his home and questioned them.
Prosecutors demanded one year in prison for Lee and a fine of 200,000 won.
The current Immigration Control Act stipulates that foreigners who have been sentenced to imprisonment or heavier punishment, including probation, must be deported.
After appearing on the hip-hop contest program 'Show Me the Money', Lee, an American national, has released several albums in Korea and continued broadcasting activities.
The sentencing hearing for Mr. Lee will be held on the 21st of next month.
