Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency said Thursday it had rounded up three people, including one unidentified American actor who performed on the MBC entertainment program ``Surprise'' and one Korean-American identified as Choi for smuggling in illegal drugs they bought on a Web site.
Among other detainees are seven drug users including a Canadian actor and a native English-speaking teacher at an elementary school, police said.
Much more in Korean in this article, from whence this photo of one of the actors [edit: since removed] comes:
A busy day on the drug front as earlier we learned that a USFK soldier was sentenced to five years in a Korean prison for helping bring 30 pounds of marijuana in.
So that's five years for marijuana, 18 months for adultery, and zero time served for raping your granddaughter for seven years. Got it. You can call attention to the logical fallacy of comparing the cases if you'd like, but the Cheongju verdict will be something against which pretty much everything else in Korea is compared for a long time. Hard to cry foul about anything or have any sort of faith in the justice system when rapists are not only set free but are given back the disabled girl they were raping to begin with.

Well said.
I've seen the way they "act": on that show - they're definitely on something *^^*
And yeah, me too on the "well said" ^^
Isn't being on "Surprise" a crime? Nothing that bad can be legal.
I think you are overlooking two major mitigating factors when comparing those arrests.
1) Foreigners were involved in the drug arrests.
2) It is well established that ajoshis cannot be held responsible for their actions. He was probably drunk (for those seven years) and probably promised to try not to do it again-- unless he gets drunk again.
The paper does such a good job of masking the actor's face--I have no idea who it could be.
I have never seen the show, because Korean TV is shit, and all the waygookin cannot act. Also, those that do, act like that dumb shit Isaac with the huge nose.
It looks like this phenomenon has been happening for at least 2700 years, with white guys just having to spoke pot in Asia.
