Supreme Team’s E-Sens, who was charged for smoking marijuana, barely managed to escape serving time in prison.

At the final trial held at the Seoul Central District Court on April 13, E-Sens was sentenced to a year and two months in prison with a two year probation, 160 hours of social service, 40 hours of drug addiction treatment and a fine of 2,133,500 won.

Because it was his first time offense, however, the justice department decided E-Sens would not have to serve the prison sentence and would be on probation instead. A source close to E-Sens told enews on April 19, “We will accept the results, and we will not be appealing against the decision.”

E-Sens was booked without detention for purchasing marijuana five times and smoking it approximately 10 times at his home and in clubs near Hongdae from October 2009 to August 2011.

The case was revealed when E-Sens held a press conference in November 2011, saying, “Driven by impulse and an error in judgment, I did something illegal that negatively impacts society, and I know the truth all too well that no excuse will make it forgivable. I’m sorry to everyone, and compelled by my guilty conscience, I’ve decided to halt my activities.” He is currently holding a time of reflection without taking on any activities.

I think the authorities realized how way out of proportion the punishment is, when there are rapists and child molesters barely getting a slap on the wrist.

It's the same news, AKP just deleted the line about him not in jail. Probably to sensationalise it.

thank goodness. as a health professional i frown upon any kind of smoking but that sentence was beyond outrageous.

I'm relieved he does not have to do jail time. Now he should do his social service, lay low for a bit and then get with Simon D and make another amazing Supreme Team album.

ok well that's good b/c that sentence was a tad bit excessive. I mean even taking a hardcore conservative stance on it, over a year for just smoking seems a bit much.

That prison sentence would have been excessive.

are sentences that fickle in korea?

i'm glad he's not doing jail time, though.. it would have been way too harsh.

I'm glad it ended this way 'cause getting jailed for smoking some pot is waist of money for any country. Still, it's kinda funny that he got harder sentence for pot than Joo Ji Hoon for ecstasy and ketamine. Oh well, I guess SK doesn't make difference between drugs.

Joo Ji Hoon was their golden boy, and in the grand scheme of Hallyu, while Supreme Team is made of awesome, I don't think E-Sens have that much appeal as say.. G-dragon

I don't understand Korea but I'm glad someone actually saw the light. That sentence was just too much.

Glad he wont do time when you see far more serious crimes getting slaps on the wrist.
Hopefully since he's a rapper, which comes with a bad boy image, there's hope for Supreme team coming back.

did akp (and sports chosun) choose to ignore that little detail about not having to do the jail sentence? or was there really a quick change in the ruling?

From: [identity profile] dysphoriia.livejournal.com
enews article was published before akp. akp chose to translate an article that omitted such info -.-

So he only got probation.
It's still a bit much IMO, but way better than serving an actual prison sentence

Wow, is weed really a big deal in Korea?!?
Thank the lord I'm not living in Korea if that's the case.
Being a pothead in Cali is something so normal. Especially if you a license!!

yes it is a huge fucking deal in korea. any kind of drugs is. and for a celebrity it can ruin your career for LIFE. apparently another rapper Crown J got in trouble for smoking pot even though he wasnt in korea when he did it!

it really astounds me they'd consider a sentence like that, anyway. they'll let a woman get murdered while she's on the phone w/ the police, but they'll be willing to send someone to jail for smoking pot.

Serious South Korea, Seriously! I'm against people doing illegal drugs in general (though, honestly I think they should be legal, that way we can tax them to hell), but this is what you are giving almost jail sentences to. Seriously?

Yeah seriously, that sentence was just excessive. smh @ the DA/judge that mitigated it.

And man that press conference was so sad. Just looking at the pics made me sad for him.
