Regarding the summoning of #BoA by the prosecution, "SM's official explanations may be disadvantageous" = The opinions of a lawyer specializing in drug cases were reported, and Hot Topic in South Korea.



● Three problems with the explanations of the incident by "SM Entertainment".



1. The Japanese branch office staff, who sent the psychotropic drug "Zolpidem" is described in detail in the official announcement. However, there is no explanation as to why the shipment was sent to the staff of the Korean headquarters instead of to BoA.



2. There is no explanation as to why Zolpidem, which can be prescribed in Korea, was prescribed in Japan.



If the first sleeping pill prescribed in Korea had the side effects, you should just stop it and have Zolpidem prescribed in Korea.



In South Korea, the treatment period for sleep disorders is strictly controlled at 10 mg per day within 4 weeks, so the prosecution may suspect that she might have tried to avoid it.



3. It was announced that "a mistake due to ignorance". However, since international mail is often used as a method of importing drugs these days, it is doubtful whether it is persuasive to the prosecution.

[Continued from Literal Translation] The official position announced by the management office "SM Entertainment" regarding the summoning of #BoA to the Korean prosecutor's office. The following is a continuation of Literal Translation. ..



The staff concerned confirmed at the local post office that the drug could be shipped from Japan to South Korea by attaching documents such as the ingredient list, but the drug was successfully prescribed overseas. Even so, I delivered (shipped) the drug to South Korea with the ingredient list attached, without recognizing that it could be a problem in South Korea.



I didn't know about customs clearance, trade, and other practices and procedures, so in order to handle and import medicines, I had to get approval from a government agency, and those who got permission also imported after obtaining prior declaration and permission. Without knowing the fact that you have to do it at all and not aware of the problem, if you attach the ingredient list at the local post office, you will only hear the guidance that the drug can be shipped overseas, and the drug I made a mistake in shipping.



A staff member who recently learned of his mistake after being contacted by an investigative agency has been actively cooperating with the investigative agency to investigate this matter and promises not to make such a mistake again. Did.



In addition, in the process of the investigation, he first talked about the drug to be communicated to BoA, explained the facts in good faith with proof materials, etc., and BoA who was to be investigated by this also went to the investigation in good faith. I would like to say that.



We plan to strengthen multifaceted education for all staff to prevent this from happening again.



BoA also feels sorry for the inconvenience caused to many people by this time. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.

I would like to say our position regarding the content related to the affiliated artist BoA reported today.



This was caused by a mistake made by a staff member of our overseas branch office who had no knowledge of trade, customs clearance, etc. First of all, we sincerely apologize for causing concern not only to our fans but also to many people. I would like to say that there is no such thing.



It is true that employees of overseas branch offices delivered (shipped) medicines by mail without formal import customs clearance, but it was not an illegal attempt to bring them in, but a mistake due to ignorance.



Therefore, I would like to give you a detailed background.



BoA took the sleeping pills prescribed by her doctor after a recent medical examination revealed that she needed enough sleep due to a decrease in growth hormone.



However, side effects such as digestive injuries such as dizziness and vomiting have been severe, and I have talked with the relevant staff about such a bad situation.



In addition, the staff who lived with him during his activities in Japan were worried about the health of BoA, and when he entered the United States in the past, he went back and forth between Japan and the United States in a short period of time due to sleep disorders caused by maladaptation. Recalling that there were no side effects on the drug prescribed in Japan, it is possible to receive an agent at the current time, so after receiving confirmation at the local (Japan) hospital, follow the normal procedure for the drug. Was received.
