Nam Tae Hyun Posts Message Promising To Return With Music After Receiving Suspended Sentence For Drug Use
Former WINNER member Nam Tae Hyun, who previously was sentenced for illegally abusing drugs, posted a heartfelt message online.
In January, the court gave Nam a 1-year sentence, suspended for two, while ex-girlfriend Seo Eun Woo received a 10-month prison sentence, suspended for two. He was also ordered to be given 40 hours of drug rehabilitation and fined ₩550,000 KRW (~$409 USD).
Most recently, he updated fans on his status and his goals moving forward.
Hello, this is Nam Taehyun.
I have made a big mistake, but I am sincerely reflecting on and regretting every day. I want to apologize and thank you once again for your concern and curiosity.
After being discharged from the rehabilitation center, I got a space in the same building to continue to strengthen my effort to overcome my drug addiction. In this process, my heart and soul are slowly getting better. I plan to gradually improve my bad lifestyle and way of thinking here and try harder to blend in with the world.
And after a lot of consideration, I realized that what I ultimately have to do is ‘music’. While there are aspects that are intimidating and challenging, I think that the only way to repay those who wait and support me is with music that comforts and gives happiness, not controversies anymore.
I am preparing an album that contains all my stories, putting the most effort I can. Since I have to do everything from scratch, working part-time and raising production costs little by little, it may take some time. But when these songs come out, I will make sure they will satisfy you.
I will occasionally update you on the progress of my work.
And I will continue to reflect on myself, repent, and live with a heart full of apologies to those who have been hurt.
Sincerly, Taehyun
