The lawyer that previously spoke to Section TV has revised his statement amid Yoochun's additional confessions.

Previously, lawyer Kim Hee-joon revealed that because Yoochun purchased and took drugs 3 times, he was facing a maximum of 7.5 years in prison. But with Yoochun admitting to 2 more instances of drug use, the singer is looking at a maximum of sentence of 15 years in prison with at least 10 years behind bars.

Kim Hee-joon said, "Under the narcotics law, for one instance of drug use, you're facing no more than 5 years in prison. If you purchase drugs, no more than 10 years in prison. If you've done it many times, it's a weighted range up to 15 years in prison. Because Yoochun didn't repent his wrongdoings at the beginning, he's expected to be punished more severely than a first-time offender usually will be."

In the meantime, Park Yoochun's case will be forwarded to the prosecution this week after his investigation his complete. He's currently in jail pending prosecution.

    Damn that´s really a lot of time. I know he was stupid for holding a press conference and not just admitting right away, but 15 years is really too much. He needs rehab. Meanwhile jjy could receive around 7 years? That's just weird.
