23rd of June,Joo Ji Hoon got punishmet

Actor Joo Ji-hoon got slapped with a 6 month sentence, 1 year probation, 120 hours of community work and a measly 360,000 won fine (about 300 USD). The sentence was handed out this morning at 10am on June 23rd by the Seoul Central District Court. According to Korean law,a jail sentence of less than a year can be substituted as part of the mandatory military service. If the sentence was more than a year, jail time would have to served in addition to military service. So, in this case, military service is a better option than jail time.
The 27 year old will do his 120 hours of community service before enlisting.

Joo Ji-hoon appeared at the Seoul Central District Court on June 9 for a hearing after being caught using drugs (ecstasy and ketamine), where he sought a 1-year prison term and a penalty of 440,000 won.

On this day, Joo Ji-hoon, actress Yoon Seol-hee, and model Yeh Hak-young all admitted to their wrongdoing, and Joo said, “I am deeply regretful of my mistake.” In his final statements, he added, “As one person acting in one moment, I could not restrain my curiosity and ended up hurting many people. I have vowed not to do anything like this again.”

His lawyer added, “Joo Ji-hoon took the drugs while very intoxicated, and did not take any more after the incident last year in April. He had postponed his enlistment date to October 2009, but if he postpones it because of this incident, he will come back a new person after serving his military duty.”
