On the night of December 17, the news 8 News SBS reported that Hallyu star “A” was questioned by prosecutors on December 16 for secretly smuggling psychotropic drugs from overseas to Korea. Consequently, “A” was cited as a suspect, charged with secretly smuggling various psychotropic drugs, including Zolpidem, into Korea.

Specifically, according to the results of the investigation, this star was caught by customs while trying to bring psychotropic drugs to Korea. This drug number is prescribed through an employee of a Japanese branch management company and encloses the name of an employee of the Korean branch. Immediately after the information was released, a series of rumors surfaced and netizens quickly located the Hallyu star here, BoA.

Immediately, SM Entertainment confirmed the information that BoA was arrested and promptly released an official statement, “This is a mistake due to lack of understanding. BoA is not intentionally trafficking psychotropic drugs.” SM Entertainment explained that BoA recently took a sleeping pill prescribed by her doctor. But as the side effects worsened, the singer turned to the prescription drug in Japan.

The managing company frankly admitted that the employees of the Japanese branch thought that it was possible to send medicines to Korea by mail, provided that the ingredient sheet was attached. However, under Korean law, any medicine that wants to be shipped to the country will have to go through a separate procedure.

Both SM and BoA staff are actively working with the investigative agency. SM Entertainment promised to increase staff training to prevent this from happening again. However, based on initial research, there are many drugs in this package that are considered overdoses by law, and are more likely to be used for the wrong purpose than Zolpidem.

Currently, the case is still being investigated for clarification. The prosecution decided to prosecute BoA and SM Entertainment employees based on the final investigation. Police conducted an investigation to see if the singer and staff were smuggling drugs intentionally, or simply accidentally, as the management company claimed.
