Amy, who is of U.S. citizenship as a Korean-American, was found guilty of abusing Propofol and Zolpidem several times throughout the past few years. She was first sentenced for her Propofol abuse in 2012, but while she had been still under her probational period for that, she secretly obtained and abused Zolpidem, once again getting her into trouble. She had also been associated various other controversies throughout the years revolving around her prosecutor boyfriend and his threats against her plastic surgeon, causing much commotion.
With these offenses under her record, the Seoul court decided to deport her from Korea earlier this year. This is in accordance with immigration laws which specify that a non-citizen can be deported from the country if he or she fails to abide by the laws. The court also revealed that it appeared that she does not seem to show sincerity in reflecting on her crimes.
Amy's lawyers protested this decision back in April, saying that it is too severe and goes against Article 37 Section 2 of the Korean constitution. But the court ruled today to uphold their original decision.

Hearing the news about the rejection of her petition, Amy told Star News, "I want to die. I don't have any strength left in me." However, she says that she still plans on filing an appeal to try to fight it once more, although her lawyers have stated that nothing has been decided on at the moment.
