Joo Ji hoon arrested for drug use


Drugs have become exceedingly common with every other celebrity nowadays getting caught for drug use.
However Joo Ji Hoon's arrest really shocked me. He was a good actor with popular dramas such as Goong and Antique bakery to his name.
Being a huge fan of the Goong series i admired him for his cold and distant acting in the series but this new comes as a shock not only because of his work but because of him being a korean.
As far as i have heard it is exceptionally rare to find blatant drug usage in korea and it is a highly offensive punishable crime. Were it the US I'm sure his career would have bounced back gaining him much needed popularity. However this is Korea which practically means his career os over. Its still hard to get over seeing how good he was. 

Well a korean netizen put it right..."In korea illegal drug use = career killer...no chance of coming back" He may possibly be facing jail time as well.


Ji Hoon and Yoon Eun Hye ( Goong)
Read the news at Dramabeans

What shocks me at another level is : what would happen if such were to happen in my own country. Its no hidden fact that drug use in India is almost at par with US.

What if one day news of a famous Indian celeb would come out connect with drugs. Ji Hoon's carrer is an end..but would Indian actors be met with the same fate?? Or would they slip off the hook like every other time?
