[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] A man and a woman were arrested by the police for using drugs at a motel in Gangnam, Seoul. Among them, the woman was identified as the person who exposed the theft allegations against Hwang Hana, the granddaughter of the founder of Namyang Dairy Products, last year.

According to the police on the 22nd, the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul has booked and is investigating a woman in her 20s, A, and a man in his 30s, B, on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act.

They are suspected of using drugs at a motel in Gangnam-gu from around 10 p.m. on the 19th until the next morning. Both tested positive in a preliminary drug test, and it is known that they used a white powder presumed to be Philopon with a syringe purchased from a pharmacy. The police have requested a drug analysis from the National Forensic Service.

A was identified as the person who, during a police investigation for another drug use charge in December last year, stated that Hwang had "entered (her) house a month ago and stole luxury clothing and shoes." Based on A's statement, the police conducted an investigation and concluded that Hwang's theft charges were valid, merging the case with Hwang's drug use charges and sending it to the prosecution for detention.
