Prosecution demands 1 year jail sentence for DMTN's Daniel

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

The prosecution has demanded a jail sentence of 1 year and a penalty of 6,690,500 KRW or 6,034 USD for DMTN's Daniel, who previously admitted to all his charges.

The session took place earlier today, and Daniel's lawyer asked to conclude the trial, and the court accepted their request. Thus, the prosecution issued their demands for Daniel's sentencing.

After the prosecution spoke, Daniel's lawyer asked for leniency, commenting, "Choi Daniel was born and raised in the U.S. so his perception of marijuana is more relaxed, and also considering that he served as the intermediary for [the sale of marijuana] only among acquaintances, we ask for a suspended sentence."

Daniel himself spoke as well, saying, "I feel that I've caused harm to those around me and I'm sorry. Regarding the fact that I broke the law, I admit my wrongdoing and am deeply reflecting."

Daniel admitted to all the marijuana charges including aiding in its distribution during the 1st trial held in April. He has been attending these hearings with the others involved since then, with the exception of Bianca who fled the country and still has yet to return.

However, as only his legal team has asked for the trial to be concluded, Daniel will still have to wait for the conclusion of the trials of the others involved before he can find out what kind of sentence the court will decide to issue him.



1. [+219, -4] I thought it was the other Choi Daniel. He's such a huge nugu;


2. [+199, -5] First idol ex-con


3. [+140, -4] Another case of a group failing to the ground because of one member


4. [+110, -0] A red bar at such a young age... Why do crimes..


5. [+81, -1] Who is he????????????????


6. [+43, -1] I get that this is bad but even rapists only get probation, so is rape a lesser crime than doing drugs now?


7. [+35, -1] Aigoooo ㅋㅋ Right after the group comes back with a name change for better luck but now they're known as jail-dols ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Pity for the other members


8. [+33, -2] Korea's first jail-dol ㅋㅋㅋ

[jjang-intae.livejournal.com]

I guess it's better if he serves time no matter how much I'll miss him ;~; I hope he does reflect & all that and as most idols say, come back with a better image.

[sadistic-dance.livejournal.com]

She was smart lol.

[torontok.livejournal.com]

Too bad Netizen number 6 isnt a judge.

[pentrue.livejournal.com]

All I remember is his skeeviness on the show he hosted :/ not surprised.

[zuluuluz.livejournal.com]

honestly its really sad that the group is basically dead because of his stupid actions

[ohlookshiny.livejournal.com]

wow i didn't even recognise him in that picture.

what's going to happen to dalmation? :(

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

:( I honestly hope they continue to promote even without Daniel, though I don't see that happening for a few reasons.

[varsico.livejournal.com]

Pfft, he should've fled the country with Bianca.

Daniel what went wrong? How did you get here? We all someday find ourselves at a crossroad but dude you clearly chose the wrong road. I Denzel Washington guarantee it had flashing lights DO NOT TAKE THIS ROAD.
I agree with 6, sad.
BITCH BIANCA!
Maybe Day Day's reason for leaving, wonder if others knew he was up to no good.

[hurtmybones.livejournal.com]

I'm sad we didn't get the names of the other idols he was selling to, this scandal had potential

[hellodee16.livejournal.com]

lol ikr?

[pikapika217.livejournal.com]

all the awards to #6

ER was such a brilliant song!
ahhh....

[sadistic-dance.livejournal.com]

He should've left Korea tbh. DMTN wasn't really going anywhere so he didn't have anything to lose.

Netizen #6 also knows what's up.

[cuizy.livejournal.com]

Well considering he distributed some of it (I'm assuming that's what intermediary means) and in some countries marijuana = death sentence.... I think he got off light

[tothechangmin.livejournal.com]

this isn't the choi daniel from school2013 right??

netizen #6 really hit the nail on the head :/

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

Lol no, they just have the misfortune of having the same name so netz always think it's actor Choi Daniel who's being charged

[maadkid.livejournal.com]

the sad reality of comment #6. the logic behind it all really is quite baffling.

[ideservestars.livejournal.com]

What an absolutely dumb reason to go to jail.

[lovealwaysliana.livejournal.com]

what was the charge? Smoking a joint and passing it to the left?

[sub-divided.livejournal.com]

Distributing/setting his friends up with his dealer.

[mookowzmoo.livejournal.com]

i just feel bad for the other members :/

[phililen3.livejournal.com]

Feeling bad for the other members.

6 is on the money.

[nightfrost75.livejournal.com]

Part of me just wants it to be over at this point. How long is he gonna have to wait to find out what will happen to him? Till they catch Bianca or something. Everyone is stuck in a horrible limbo waiting to see what will happen.

[uguukawaii.livejournal.com]

lol this is so dumb haha
