Knetz angry a news outlet linked The Rose's Kim Woosung's predebut situation from 2016 to Jay Park for clicks

Who dug out this situation from 7 years ago??????? He wasn't even charged in the end? How did they find out?

edit: edited my title since the first article I read said "charges" but he wasn't charged, he was let off

KBS Denies Knowledge of Drug Allegations Surrounding The Rose's Kim Woo-sung on 'The Seasons - Jay Park's Drive'

Controversy has arisen following the appearance of The Rose's Kim Woosung, who faced drug abuse allegations in the past, on the KBS2 program "The Seasons - Jay…

This recently made the news, but I believe he received a suspended sentence (he was let off).

Quote

A KBS representative told OSEN, "We know that Kim Woosung received a suspended indictment after being investigated for drug-related charges in 2016. However, the production team was not aware of this fact when casting him. The KBS review office also did not discuss any appearance regulations for the guest."

"Drug offender" appeared on KBS…Close relationship with Jay Park

While the entertainment industry is in trouble with the recent "drug scandals", KBS caused controversy as they allowed a drug offender to appear on air.

At that time, he admitted to smoking marijuana, but was suspended from indictment considering that he was a first-time offender and that he confessed to the crime.

I don't know why they used that photo, aren't those Woohyun and Sunggyu?

Quote from allfandomssuck

are those drug allegations about weed? because SK society is seriously messed up about the way they deal with drug users.

Yes

???

Y'all are not cancelling The Rose not on my watch

He admitted and was let go and wasn't indicted because he was a first time offender and there was no previous history, idk who even dug this up since it wasn't public knowledge? Since there were no charges, this shouldn't have been public. Unfortunately, somebody spread this days ago in SK and it's making rounds.

I hope this doesn't impact them too much. I love his voice and like him.

Quote from tetetete

maybe it was revealed because he is on the collab song

I think it was revealed specifically to target Jay Park because the accusations are that Woosung was brought onto a show due to their friendship, but could be both

Quote from allfandomssuck

he's also a feat on yoongi's album so...

Yeah I know, but I'm hoping it won't have any impact on anyone, including Woosung

Reading the comments on a trending post about their song and there's not a single negative comment:

Quote from Yinye

It seems really shady that this was dogged up. I hope that this doesn’t escalate especially when it’s cases closed.

Yeah, now that everyone mentions it. I was suspicious of it because it seems to have been brought up to shade Jay Park somehow, but it could be for Yoongi too. However, I've looked at a few posts about their song in particular and there wasn't a single negative comment.

Edit: just thought about it, and this could also be against KBS as well. So a sweep-all, multiple targets.

Recently people have been nitpicking at them a lot, first for bringing the triple DUI singer on Masked singer (warranted criticism), then for bringing on Cao Lu (South Sea controversy) and now this.

Quote from Yinye

I don’t follow Jay P but recently he just announced something big right? Yah - Woosung’s collab with Suga is fabulous and it just came out today…

The timing is suspicious. And the fact that somebody leaked this information right now is suspicious too.

Quote from icyruios

Nvm even if SK drops him they probably can survive on international fandom. Most of the fans are international if I'm not wrong.

Even their latest title track is an English song if Koreans can't appreciate them then I can have them all to myself

If they try to cancel them for something like this I'm going to be so mad, I'm hoping this blows over tbh

Quote from Orsy

it was 7 years ago and now they dug it up? what's the point

Right? AND THERE WERE NO CHARGES??? Who and how got the drop on this? Bizarre, this couldn't have been public domain if there were no charges.
