Police in the eastern city of Chuncheon said Tuesday they arrested 14 people on charges of smuggling and distributing illegal drugs, and another four people, including TV celebrity Amy, who allegedly used narcotics from them, officials said Tuesday.

The Gangwon Police Agency recently busted a drug trafficking operation that allegedly brought in drugs from Vietnam, the Philippines and other countries, largely by international airmail, and sold them to clients in South Korea via the instant messaging service Telegram.

This is her third arrest for drug offences.

In 2015, Amy was deported from Korea and was only allowed to come back recently, in early 2021.

They still think throwing her in jail is gonna solve a drug addiction

They need treatment centers, rehabs, mental health experts, and open conversations about addiction and not what they're doing to addicts now. Putting people who continuously harm themselves into jail for continuously harming themselves while the public villainizes them and stigmatizes their addiction is so harmful.

but why would she comeback and use drugs once again sk????

Addiction is a messed up thing.

who's amy ?

Former tv personality whose career was ruined by scandals, from drug use, snitching, unfortunately a suicide attempt (not calling that a scandal, it's a tragedy) to her then boyfriend who was a prosecutor using his power to extort a plastic surgeon on her behalf.

Quote from Lulu_Key

yes but she could have stayed in her primary country of citizenship where they are more lax on drugs

Its like dont put yourself at a greater risk?

Yeah, true. It's strange.
