      Police questioned him for 19 fucking hours over his personal recreational drug use. It sounds like this whole ordeal is a career death sentence in Korea, too. As far as I’m concerned atm — Korean culture, the state, and the police, killed this man through bullying and harassment. His drug use is irrelevant.
