[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] Rapper Killagram (Lee Jun-hee, 29), who was arrested for smoking marijuana at home, has been indicted.

The Criminal Division 7 of Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office (Chief Prosecutor Park Gyu-hyung) announced on the 2nd that Lee was non-detained indicted last month on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act.

According to the prosecution, Lee was caught in the act by police officers who responded to a resident's report of a "smell of burning herbs" while he was smoking marijuana at his home in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, in March.

Initially denying the charges, Lee reportedly admitted to smoking marijuana after the police found powdered marijuana and inhalers as evidence at his home and questioned him.

Lee, a U.S. national, has released several albums and continued broadcasting activities in Korea after appearing on the hip-hop competition program "Show Me the Money." After the arrest became public, he admitted the charges on his SNS, saying, "I did something that I absolutely should not have done as a public figure."
