[News KOR] Kim Seong-min jailed



Korean actor Kim Seong-min , 38 was sentenced to two and a half years in prison for importing and using Cannabis. It's been said that he'd been importing the drug since 2008 from the Phillipines.


The sentence was handed down by the Seoul Central District Court on 24th January. He was also fined about 900,000 won (~900AUD).


The actor was arrested in December last year. Prosecuters wanted a 4 year sentence but Kim told the court he was deeply sorry and regretted his action. He also stated that he took the drugs due to depression over personal and financial problems.


Kim Seong-min has starred in dramas such as 'Before and after plastic surgery' and 'The Reputable Family'.
