It has been reported that model and announcer Kim Na-jung was investigated by the police on charges of ‘drug use’.

According to the Chosun Ilbo on the 14th, Kim Na-jung returned home after being investigated for about 2 hours by the Incheon International Airport Police Department on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act after returning from Manila, Philippines to Incheon International Airport on the 12th. The details of the simple drug test were not disclosed.

Kim Na-jung had previously posted on her SNS (Instagram) story, “This is the Conrad Hotel in Manila. My life is in danger. “I‘m scared to even go to the airport or take a taxi,” she said, before adding, “Please contact the embassy.”



Kim Na-jung then said at the Manila airport, “I want to go to Korea. If I get on a plane, I think I’ll die. If I leave Manila, I think I‘ll die. The airport is dangerous, and this is Manila Airport. Please help me.” She then left her last message, “I’m getting on a plane...”

Kim Na-jung, who appears to have boarded a flight departing from Manila at 12:05, did not explain the circumstances surrounding her emergency request, raising curiosity about what was going on.

Later, a post that appears to have been hastily deleted was revealed through an online community. The deleted story included, “Last night, my 11 o‘clock Korean Air flight from Manila to Incheon was delayed to 12:05, and late that evening, the airport staff, passengers, and immigration all filmed me. To avoid a drug smuggling incident like the Truman Show, I threw away my carry-on and all my bags and came back instead of getting on Korean Air. If I get on that plane, I’ll die,” and “Please help me, South Korea. I confess to using drugs in the Philippines. I can‘t get on this plane because I feel like I’m going to die somehow due to my delusions of grandeur.”

Meanwhile, Kim Na-jung garnered attention after winning the 2019 Miss Maxim Contest. She has been active in various channels, such as appearing in survival games such as ‘Thought Verification Zone: The Community’ and ‘Black Sheep Game’, which were aired on OTT platform Wave.
