    …he made the tragic choice to end his life after a third 19-hour police summons

    The article doesn’t make it appear like they are asking for, or suggesting, drug law reform. They’re only advocating that the police treat investigations into pop-culture artists with more care…?

    Maybe that’s just Variety’s spin on it, but that’s what the article makes it appear like.

    Can anyone with more knowledge, or who speaks Korean, clarify if that’s accurate?

    What a sad story. The “war on drugs” has in fact always been a war on the people.

    Legalize drugs!
