Former iKON leader B.I, real name Kim Han-bin, received a suspended sentence on Friday, September 10, over drug abuse charges.
According to The Korea Times, B.I was sentenced by the Seoul Central District Court to three years in prison, suspended for four years.
He was also ordered to complete 80 hours of community service, and 40 hours of a drug treatment course.
The court found that while his actions “have a huge impact on society,” B.I was remorseful, and had the support of his family in overcoming his drug use.
The K-pop artist left iKON in June 2019 after it was reported that he attempted to purchase illegal drugs in 2016.
In a statement posted on Instagram at the time, he apologized to fans for his “tremendously inappropriate actions,” and said that he was leaving the group “to humbly self-reflect on my mistake.”
In May 2021, he was indicted on charges of purchasing and using marijuana and LSD, violating South Korea’s Narcotics Control Act. – Rappler.com
