Wheesung denies reports about propofol abuse investigation

[lovelyxbeauty.livejournal.com]

Word has been spreading rapidly that Wheesung is being summoned for investigation regarding propofol abuse, and in response, the singer's legal team has now issued a statement denying the claims.

The singer's lawyers stated, "All the reps of the clinics that Wheesung visited testified that he was not illegally administered propofol, but that he had been administered the drug for its original use as anesthesia... Various clinics and medical professionals have submitted their official opinions about how in the case of Wheesung's procedures, propofol is often used. Even the prosecution has asked us to gather statements like this."

"This case is different from that of Lee Seung Yeon, Hyun Young, and other celebrities who have been administered propofol for illegal purposes. You cannot compare this case with those cases as they are different... It is certain that Wheesung is not at fault. Even if he is indicted, it's already been concluded internally among legal representatives that he won't be found guilty."

The lawyers stressed once again that Wheesung is innocent, saying, "Wheesung feels he has been wronged. He has been hurt by this even though it's not true and his activities after being discharged from the military will also take a hit."

Ever since Amy's propofol controversy last year, many celebrities have come under suspicion for the same charges. The latest batch included Lee Seung Yeon, Hyun Young, Jang Mi In Ae, as well as Park Si Yeon, who insisted that the propofol was used for the treatment of an earlier injury but was found to have been administered the drug excessively, amounting to 185 times.

Way to go to journalists, you nearly destroyed a man's career.
Hope they all get fired.
Because this is terrible, Wheesung shouldn't feel wronged at all. Those who reported it should go beg on his knees for forgiveness instead.

In this day and age, it's all about sensationalism unfortunately and not facts.

How strict are slander/libel laws in Korea? He should sue those journalists for every last blood cell they posess.

They follow the US model of print, maybe apologize but usually don't, and retract apparently

It's pretty shocking the things that get spread around as fact when they are some person's speculation or even completely made up and scary how easily it's believed 0.o

I'm so relieved to hear this. I was shocked yesterday since Wheesung didn't seem to be like a guy who would abuse drugs, and more than that, it would put an end to his career. Just bad news all around, so I hope this gets straightened out.
