Model and broadcaster Kim Na-jung has revealed her position after being sent to the prosecution on drug charges.
On the 24th, Kim Na-jung posted a statement on her SNS account with the message, “Hello, this is Kim Na-jung. I will tell you my position organized by my lawyer regarding today‘s report. I apologize once again for causing concern. Thank you.”
Kim Na-jung expressed regret over the police’s contact with the media, saying, “She has already suffered a lot of mental damage. The prosecution‘s transfer of my client was made without investigating key witnesses. It is regrettable that the decision to transfer was made based solely on the police’s unilateral logic and the results of the test.”
She then explained, “The results of a detailed test, including two hair tests, revealed that there was no drug use prior to this forced drug use incident,” and “No separate evidence was found in the search and seizure of her residence.”
Finally, Kim Na-jung said, “I am in a very difficult situation, as I am continuing to receive psychiatric treatment,” and added, “It seems that the truth will be clearly revealed through the prosecution‘s investigation.”
On this day, the Gyeonggi Northern Provincial Police Agency’s Narcotics Investigation Division announced that they had sent Kim Na-jung without detention on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act (administering Philopon and synthetic marijuana).
Meanwhile, on November 12 of last year, Kim Na-jung caused controversy by posting on her SNS story, “Please help me, Republic of Korea. I confess to using drugs in the Philippines. Because of that, I feel like I will die somehow due to my delusions of grandeur, so I can‘t get on a plane.” Kim Na-jung was investigated immediately upon her return to Korea, and a simple drug test came back positive for Philopon.
Afterwards, Kim Na-jung stated in her statement that while she was in the Philippines promoting a beauty product, she got drunk during a drinking party and for some unknown reason, Mr. A tied her hands, put a blindfold on her, and forced her to inhale drugs (of an unknown identity).
She emphasized that there was a misunderstanding about the SNS post she made before returning to Korea, and that at the time, Kim Na-jung had urgently confessed to the drug use in order to avoid Mr. A’s pursuit and request personal protection, and that she did not admit to using the drugs willingly.
