Actor Ha Jung-woo's Propofol case has been handed over to trial.

On August 8, the Seoul Central District Court revealed that Ha Jung-woo will undergo trial for abusing propofol explaining that summary indictment will not be sufficient in the case.

Judge Shin Se-ah stated, "It's not a matter to be dealt with in summary. The case will have to be tried formally in court."

Ha Jung-woo is accused of illegally administering Propofol in his younger brother and manager's name at a plastic surgery clinic in Gangnam in January-September 2019. Initially, the prosecution charged the actor with 10 million won through summary indictment but it appears the case will undergo trial.

The actor addressed the allegations through his agency stating, "I received dermatology treatment for my acne scars but because of the pain from the laser treatment, I was sedated under anesthesia."

However, contrary to his position of self-reflection, Ha Jung-woo has reportedly appointed 4 law firms to include Yulchon, Pacific, and Barun and nearly 10 lawyers to fight the case in court.

Among the 10 lawyers, 2 lawyers were former chief judges, a former police officer, and a former chief prosecutor of the Department of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office of Drug Safety.

The first trial is scheduled for September 14.

Comments From Korean Netizens:

  1. [+664, -30] Like father like son
  2. [+386, -23] Trash everywhere...a genealogy of dog ba$tards...Park Soo-hong, Kim Gunmo, Hong Jin-young...all of them just trash!
  3. [+273, -8]  I was a fan of Ha Jung-woo and was so disappointed when I heard about the Propofol but to hire 10 lawyers..?? Is this really the behavior of someone in deep reflection?
  4. [+221, -10] I've gotten surgeries for acne scars too but was never once given Propofol?? Must be because he's a celebrity ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
  5. [+88, -9] We're the stupid ones for believing his words ㅋㅋㅋ
  6. [+77, -2] His father got a woman 39 younger than him pregnant and the son is a druggie, all that in one family ㅋㅋㅋ
  7. [+33, -1] If the treatment was for a legitimate purpose, why receive it under someone else's name...? Something about this smells rotten...
  8. [+28, -1] He'll probably end up with a fine since he's going with huge law firm. He used his brother's name to inject drugs but will comeback and earn money showing off his face in CFs. He must really see fans as dogs and pigs 
  9. [+24, -1] How scared is he that he went and appointed 10 lawyers ㅋㅋ. Didn't he only inject it for his acne treatmentsㅋㅋ?? Looks like he's just another druggie sell out 
  10. [+14, -3] His dad seduced a woman younger than his own son..
