Lee Chun-hee does drugs?

leechunhee_090701

So, is it no longer just a rumor?! Did this former “Family Outing” member finally admit to frying his brain with convicted druggie, Joo Ji-hoon.

For the past few weeks, there have been rumors implicating Lee Chun-hee as one of the big celebrities who used drugs with his good friend, Joo Ji-hoon. First, SBS News presented a “censored” image of a celebrity alongside a story of the celebrity’s involvement in a drug scandal. Of course, netizens did their research and easily discovered that the “censored” image was of Lee Chun-hee. Then, there was an interview broadcasted by MBC After News, in which a “Mr. A” (rumored to be Lee Chun-hee) never denied charges of taking an illegal substance. In the interview, “Mr. A” claimed, “I was intoxicated with alcohol at that time so even I can’t remember. I do remember being with those people but I’m not sure what happened because I simply can’t remember.”

Hmmm…sounds like the whole sad  too drunk to remember excuse.

Well, shocked fans and netizens have been eagerly awaiting new developments concerning Lee Chun-hee involvement in the celebrity drug scandal that has already forced Joo Ji-hoon to put his career on hold. Due to his innocent and bashful image on popular variety show, “Family Outing,” many people have refused to believe that Lee Chun-hee would be the type to take illegal drugs.

However, netizens have been recently discussing his absence at the premiere for his new film, “A Billion”, which also stars Shin Min-ah and Lee Min-ki. For someone who supposedly left “Family Outing” to focus on his acting career, he sure hasn’t been busy supporting his work. Some believe his absence proves that he is in trouble with the law, and thus, cannot pursue any promotional activities. As a very popular rising star, he should be busting his booty to garner support and to help make the film a success. If he wanted to prove his innocence, he should have just proudly shown his face to silence the rumors.

Don’t get me wrong. I adore Lee Chun Hee’s personality and truly hope these rumors are not true. But he has definitely dug himself a bigger hole by being silent and absent from the public. Wouldn’t an innocent person want to publicly denounce these rumors? This poor guy is looking guiltier the more I think about it. So POPSEOULers, what do you think? Is our favorite klutz just a victim of rumors and hanging out with the wrong crowd? Or has he become just another druggie who deserves the same fate as Joo Ji Hoon?

    this is such crazy news! i knew there were rumors, but the whole interview w/ “mr A” and his absence at the premiere totally makes him look guilty! ugh disappointment

    “I was intoxicated with alcohol at that time so even I can’t remember. I do remember being with those people but I’m not sure what happened because I simply can’t remember.”

    I like that excuse. “I don’t do drugs! Instead I get blindingly drunk!”

    And yeah, he probably did it. Anyone who was innocent would be much more forthright.

  5. 6 topsmyhubby! July 1, 2009 at 12:09 pm

    nope.

  6. 7 dee July 1, 2009 at 12:14 pm

    omg…..please dont do that, not my Chunderella

  7. 8 stp July 1, 2009 at 12:21 pm

    loser! just when he was getting popular

  8. 9 cheerios July 1, 2009 at 12:28 pm

    let him do whatever
    be faithful to his acting and loyal towards him
    who gives how he’s injuring himself.
    He’s still a nice guy. I wish people wouldnt just put a tag of a ‘NICE INNOCENT GUY’ on him. he’s human and he must have a social life too
    and loyal fans shud believe him anyways

  9. 10 kpoptime July 1, 2009 at 12:34 pm

    omg i think that’s just crazy,

  10. 11 yul July 1, 2009 at 12:40 pm

    innocent until proven guilty…

  11. 12 ljh July 1, 2009 at 12:47 pm

    is what he did just as bad as joo ji hoon? why isn’t he getting indicted if he’s guilty?

  12. 13 Alison July 1, 2009 at 12:54 pm

    i am in denial about all of this. i won’t accept the idea that he did drugs until the feds have caught him with the drugs in his hand.

  13. 14 Jane. July 1, 2009 at 1:06 pm

    I’m seriously not going to believe it until he says it with his own mouth. His image on FO just makes it seem all the more unbelievable..if it is true..it would be even more disappointing than JJH.

  14. 16 EatYourKimchiAndStayInSchool July 1, 2009 at 1:19 pm

    NOO
    Oh, I dearly hope this isn’t true..

  15. 17 felisshi July 1, 2009 at 1:31 pm

    Are you talking about our cute Chunderella? He does not really look like the type who would be a regular user. He might be blindly drunk at the time that he didn’t remember anything. If he mixed alcohol with drugs, something bad could have happened to him. Bad combination. I don’t know but he really looks so innocent to me. He doesn’t look like someone who would dabble in drugs. He’s not that stupid to jeopardize his career which is just picking up at this time. This is just my opinion. I hope though that he will keep good company instead of going with the notoriously famous people who love to experiment with drugs.

  16. 18 angiee July 1, 2009 at 1:33 pm

    ugh i hope it isn’t true but it it kinda looks like it… i still love him tho ._.

  17. 19 lalala July 1, 2009 at 1:33 pm

    everyone makes mistakes
    i hope people can understand that hes only human, just like the rest of us

  18. 20 momo July 1, 2009 at 1:52 pm

    um popseoul i just read from an article somewhere that he agreed to take a drug test, and that drug test turned out NEGATIVE.
    you should get your facts straight before you mislead people

    • 21 sno July 1, 2009 at 2:19 pm

      just b/c he had a negative drug test recently it doesn’t mean he didn’t try it in the past. i mean joo ji hoon wasn’t a regular user and he still got convicted.

      • 22 clonit July 1, 2009 at 5:35 pm

        if he did do drugs, it probably was just a one time thing in the past pr just an isolated incident. i’m sure he isn’t on junkie level. just experimenting. but how are they gonna prove he took drugs in the past. and are the consequences still harsh if it was just a one time deal

  19. 23 daisy July 1, 2009 at 2:07 pm

    nooooooo lovely chunderella il love you fighting ^^

  20. 24 lady July 1, 2009 at 2:20 pm

    I don’t know if he does drubs however he practically admitted to being an alcoholic saying,

    “I was intoxicated with alcohol at that time so even I can’t remember. I do remember being with those people but I’m not sure what happened because I simply can’t remember.”

    He gets that drunk that he blacks out and can’t remember his actions! He definately needs to take a trip to AA.

  21. 25 DBSJSHINee July 1, 2009 at 2:37 pm

    Isn’t this old news? I remember reading it 2 weeks ago.
    But I still can’t imagine chunhee of all people taking drugs.

    • 26 uhm July 1, 2009 at 2:50 pm

      i knew chun hee was involved in some drug scandal, but didn’t know the details. the movie premiere was last week, so that was new to me. i kinda agree that he should be addressing the public if he’s innocent.

  22. 27 cindy July 1, 2009 at 2:50 pm

    I hope its just a rumor! i loved chunderella

  23. 28 ngarky July 1, 2009 at 3:21 pm

    MANNNNNN..this is hard to accept

  24. 29 minbong July 1, 2009 at 4:34 pm

    It doesn’t look like he did it. But yeah..it’s starting to be true though. If he is THAT busy, why not show his face?? He knows people will start talking about it right..I think he’s having some troubles.

  25. 30 keyton July 1, 2009 at 5:17 pm

    chunhee’s understandably trying to keep a low key. so i’m not surprised he didn’t show up to his movie premiere. it woul’dve been distracting. but it definately doesn’t help by not addressing the issue and hoping it’ll just go away. i ‘m a big fan of chunhee and his role in family outing, so i really want to hear the truth about this issue once and for all.

  26. 31 clonit July 1, 2009 at 5:27 pm

    there’s no way! how’d they suspect him. did one of the others rat him out? i think he was just haning out with the wrong people and now it’s guilt by association or something like that

  27. 32 imagirl' July 1, 2009 at 6:17 pm

    i dont mind them business.’… im not interested to know his lifes going …

  28. 33 lalala July 1, 2009 at 8:43 pm

    NOOOOOOOOO. its ok. i love chun hee regardless.!

  29. 34 charmaine July 1, 2009 at 9:11 pm

    .. i thought that is not true ..
    .. that’s so crazy news right?? ..
    .. hmp i thought le chun hee is not a drug user..
    hahaha..

  30. 35 MC July 1, 2009 at 9:35 pm

    Again, when the rumor came out with Chun hee I read people’s comments and decided to just observe people’s reaction and not say anything.People were saying that it couldn’t be true because Chun hee isn’t this kind of person. Once again, I feel that people didn’t learn a thing from what happen to Ji hoon. IMAGE WILL ALWAYS DECEIVE! People we see those celebrities on tv, in movies, in magazines, but WE DON’T KNOW THEM! WE DON’T TRULY KNOW THEM! Those celebrities CREATES AN IMAGE! And people always gets deceives by it and fooled by it.We don’t know the true Chun Hee! I don’t know what he does when he gets home at night! Do you know him? This doesn’t surprise me at all with the drugs stuff cause we truly don’t know these celebrities. I’ve learned to accept this truth! And you should too!

    • 36 alli July 2, 2009 at 1:56 am

      well said. love the guy on tv but i’m smart enough to know that celebs may have a completely different lifestyle than what we may expect.

  31. 37 P July 1, 2009 at 11:04 pm

    i know the people he hangs out with and it’s not surprising.

  32. 38 aonnd July 2, 2009 at 12:43 am

    I love him!

  33. 39 Ji July 2, 2009 at 1:22 am

    no he didn’t
    poor my Chunbita :(

  34. 40 kaMechaN July 2, 2009 at 1:41 am

    uwaaa….chunnie..andweee…stay healthy..from drugs…sob3…love him…chuNderella hwaitiNg!!!~~<3..

  35. 41 Drugs are no big deal July 2, 2009 at 2:08 am

    Chill people. So he did some drugs. Big Deal. Honestly the thing I hate about Koreans is they act so damn innocent. A lot of Koreans know nothing about sex because of the lack of sex education and sex is ‘taboo’. Koreans also happen to be the world’s biggest consumers of porn and have a thriving sex industry. Koreans like to ignore their problems and they have a HUGE problem with generalizing as well as diverting attention to real issues. I am Korean, but we as a people have a far way to go.

  36. 42 ajoomaintraining July 2, 2009 at 2:09 am

    “chun-hee yah ~ geu le myun an dae gee!” I guess someone has to be made example and that will be joo ji-hoon and his friends. If chun-hee has good managing team they can find a way to make him look like a naive little boy going through a leaning experience life.

  37. 43 dbskgogo July 2, 2009 at 2:23 am

    Chun hee’s not ajust another joo ji-hoon. chun hee probably was a suspect because he was close with all the others who acutally did drugs. if he was guilty, he would be indicted by now. but i think he should eventually address the public if he’s innocent. or at least show his face so it doesn’t look like he’s hiding from doing something wrong. it’s not like the koreans will just forget the scandal he was involved in if he and his reps never speak of it

  38. 44 yunjae-thelove; July 2, 2009 at 3:40 am

    omg.
    is this true?
    i won’t believe it myself either after seeing him on family outing…
    i do hope its just a rumour,but if its true,then i hope he accepts his punishment.

  39. 45 haebin July 2, 2009 at 4:10 am

    Chunhee oppa! i hope it’s just a rumor.

  40. 46 haebin July 2, 2009 at 4:14 am

    he should come out and address this scandal. it looks bad

  41. 47 miki1 July 2, 2009 at 4:17 am

    Hard to believe. Why doesn’t he just go about his business if it’s just a rumor and combat it head on? It’s too much of a sensation to ignore and do nothing if he’s innocent.

  42. 48 stephanie July 2, 2009 at 5:46 am

    OMG no way i will be so hurt, he is so cute, omg please dont be true

  43. 49 naila July 2, 2009 at 6:00 am

    “There is no smoke without fire”- an old lore

  44. 50 JJ July 2, 2009 at 7:00 am

    OMG I never new that Chun Hee would do that.

  45. 51 Len July 2, 2009 at 7:07 am

    I hope he didn’t, but I think he might have… Nooo chun heee :( :( :(

  46. 52 chunheeno July 2, 2009 at 7:32 am

    this is definitely a surprise. but we have to remember he’s not perfect and could’ve just made a wrong choice one time. there’s obviously a lot of shady things that go around in the whole model/actor scene. young, dumb, and a lot of pressure…

  47. 53 fallout July 2, 2009 at 7:46 am

    chunhee always acted so absent minded on fo. i’m not surprised by this news. he’s obviously not the brightest and most strong willed guy

  48. 54 coolbeanss8 July 2, 2009 at 9:15 am

    dang..
    NOWAY..

  49. 55 Paola July 2, 2009 at 9:37 am

    noooo…. I really like him!!! I hope the rumors are false, but your fans are standing by you side.

  50. 56 misspinky July 2, 2009 at 10:05 am

    i think chunhee did it as well. being innocent on FO meant nothing, it probably is in his clumsy but there was peer pressure and intoxication at hand as well. sadly if he does get convicted, i see his career in a not-so-great state. but nonetheless i’ll still support him.

    p.s. those “censored” pictures didn’t take a genius to know who it who.
