Famous composer Don Spike (45, real name Kim Min-su), who was prosecuted on charges of drug use, was sentenced to two years in prison and taken into custody at the appellate court sentencing hearing held on the 15th.

On that morning, the Criminal Division 3 of the Seoul High Court (Chief Judge Lee Chang-hyung) sentenced Don Spike to two years in prison at the appellate court sentencing hearing, where he was charged with stimulant drugs under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes.

Don Spike was prosecuted for purchasing methamphetamine worth 45 million won over nine occasions and using it 14 times since the end of 2021. The first trial court sentenced him to three years in prison with five years of probation, ordering probation, 120 hours of community service, 80 hours of drug treatment lectures, and a fine of 39,857,500 won.

At the recent appellate court sentencing hearing, the prosecution requested the court to sentence him to five years in prison, the same as the demand in the first trial.
