After results from the National Forensic Service, he cannot deny a crime was committed.” Soompi reports that the actor was caught in August, but details are only recently coming to light.

He left the group in 2011 and began acting, and also joined the military in 2013. Escape the algorithm! Get The DropEmail address SIGN UP Get must-see stories direct to your inbox every weekday.
