A well-known rapper in his 30s has been transferred to prosecutors after confessing to drugging a police officer, sparking legal proceedings.
On the 17th, the Yongsan Police Station in Seoul announced that rapper A had been delivered to the Seoul West District Prosecutors’ Office on suspicion of violating the Narcotics Control Act.
The incident unfolded in January when the rapper approached an on-duty police officer near the Seoul Regional Veterans Affairs Office in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, uttering, “Is this the police,” followed by a confession, “I’m going to turn myself in for drugs.”
Reports indicate that the rapper was speaking incoherently at the time, leading the officer to believe he was in distress. Consequently, the officer took him to a nearby district office for safeguarding.
Subsequently, upon further examination at the Yongsan Police Station, the rapper allegedly tested positive for methamphetamine during a forensic analysis conducted by the National Institute of Forensic Science.
The case has garnered attention not only due to the rapper’s celebrity status but also for the seriousness of the allegations. The legal process following his confession and positive drug test will unfold as the prosecutors delve deeper into the matter.
The rapper’s identity and specific details regarding his legal proceedings have not been disclosed publicly at this stage.
