Entertainers, College Kids, English Teachers, Oh My!

by Robert Koehler on June 3, 2009

Police have busted 84 peoples — entertainers, university students and, you guessed it, foreign English teachers — for doing drugs at clubs, reports the Munhwa Ilbo.

A two-month crackdown by Seoul Vice on clubs in Gangnam and Itaewon resulted in the arrest of 84 — 12 being confined and 72 booked without detention.

Police, who busted three entertainers — including actor Ju Ji-hun — in April, nabbed another three or four entertainers.

According to the police, these entertainers are suspected of doing Ecstasy smuggled in from Japan, China or Canada at clubs in Gangnam and Itaewon.

In particular, police say a 28-year-old actress Ms. Yun smuggled in drugs she bought from an acquaintance in Japan by hiding them in her underwear. She then distributed them to fellow entertainers.

Moreover, an English teacher by the name of Mr. P smuggled in 150 tablets of Ecstasy from Canada and sold it at clubs in Gangnam for 80,000 won a tablet, said police.

A police official said that in the past, most drug offenses were committed in secret, but these guys were doing drugs openly around the clubs with no awareness it was criminal. He said they would strengthen their crackdown on clubs and other entertainment areas.

At least no one, particularly foreign English teachers, particularly those from Canada, got busted for reefer madness.

This is a cause for full body cavity inspection at ports of entry.

NetizenKim, are you volunteering to put your hand in my chocolate love boat?

No, but I’m sure he’d give your port of entry a little frisking, if you asked extra nicely.

But only for westerners, of course.

As I revisit my regrettable words in a sober mood, I realize there is much more sexual innuendo than I actually intended.

No. That would be a violation of my human rights.
