[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] It was recently revealed that rappers Nafla and Loopy, who appeared on Show Me the Money, were caught on charges of marijuana use.


On the 19th, Channel A's 'News A' reported that five rappers, including Nafla and Loopy, were caught by the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's Narcotics Investigation Division on suspicion of marijuana inhalation.


According to Channel A, last September, while investigating drug charges against rappers from the same agency as Nafla and Loopy, the police conducted a search and investigation of the agency.


During this process, the police tested the hair and urine of Nafla and Loopy, which showed positive results for drugs.


Nafla reportedly told the police, "I inhaled marijuana with Loopy and others in the agency's studio," and "The marijuana was purchased online by another rapper from the agency."


At that time, not only these two but also three other rappers from the same agency (Blue, Owen, Young West) and five acquaintances tested positive for drugs, leading the police to believe there was group marijuana use.


The agency Mekit Rain acknowledged the drug charges against the five rappers, stating, "The members admitted their wrongdoing and are deeply reflecting," and "We have prepared strong disciplinary measures to prevent recurrence."


The police handed them over to the prosecution on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act.


Subsequently, in July, the prosecution indicted one of the five rappers and gave a suspension of indictment to the other four.


Meanwhile, Nafla and Loopy gained recognition by winning first and second place respectively on Mnet's 'Show Me the Money 777' in 2018.



Blue recently gained attention when singer Lee Hyori performed his song "Downtown Baby" on MBC TV's variety show 'How Do You Play?'. Owen, who inhaled marijuana, has been involved in controversy as he appeared on the recently aired Mnet 'Show Me the Money' Season 9.
