Korean netizens react to Nam Tae Hyun sharing how his drug addiction ruined his life

AKP STAFF

Korean netizens reacted to Nam Tae Hyun sharing how his drug addiction ruined his life. 

On the July 14th episode of KBS's 'In-Depth 60 Minutes,' Nam Tae Hyun said his life is in ruin and he has 500 million KRW (400,000 USD) in debt due to his drug addiction. He soon made headlines following the broadcast as he publicly disclosed his financial struggles and drug addiction. This revelation has brought mixed reactions among Korean netizens. 

Some netizens demonstrated empathy and encouraged him for his journey towards rehabilitation. Others, on the other hand, questioned his character saying his drug addiction is a personal responsibility. 

Some of the top comments include: "It's not too late. You can start fresh. I'm not condoning drug use but I think people should have more empathy towards him than to those who do drunk driving and scam others." 

"5 years of Moon Jae In only increased national debt and drug users. We should never let the Democratic party reign again."

"He was under a big label. He could have been successful than anyone else yet he ended up like this due to his choice. It's all his personal responsibility. He can't blame this on anyone else."

"No one forced him to take drugs. I propose the death penalty for hard drug uses."

"He should indeed take accountability for his actions. But I do hope he successfully recovers and do good things for the rest of his life, like any other people. He is still very young. The time is on his side."

"You are still young. I bet another opportunity will come later in your life. I hope you don't ruin that opportunity due to drugs again. Wishing you the best on your journey to recovery."

"I won't worry about a celebrity."

The person that suggested the death penalty for a drug user needs to take a chill pill! Do I think he should get in trouble for illegal drugs, yes but not at the cost of his life
