This time, Ilhoon seemed to have accept the sentence and expressed that he was ashamed. The court announced the reason his sentence is lowered is that he didn’t commit any selling and disitributing marijuana and only bought for himself to use. Aside from that, Ilhoon has stopped using marijuana, joining a mental treatment session and rehab class online from 2019 Jan. Apart from that, 100 letters asking for a lower sentence from Ilhoon seem to have convinced the judge.
However, many netizens don’t agree with this sentence and voiced out that the judge’s decision is too light. Ilhoon’s real name is Jung Ilhoon, who was born in 1994 and was the main rapper of BTOB which debuted in 2012. After being investagated by the police, this male rapper has left his group.
