They are accused of holding a so-called "drug hallucination party" by collectively using drugs at a pension in Okcheon, Chungbuk, around 1 a.m. on the 16th of last month. It was reported that the prosecution first obtained intelligence, and based on that information, the police raided the scene and arrested them in flagrante delicto. The police also seized 32.5 ecstasy tablets, 9.41g of ketamine, and 1.15 million won in drug sales funds from the pension.

According to the police investigation, A, a housewife, was found to have involved two female university students of the same nationality in the crime at the request of men who wanted to have a party with young women. A and the accomplices met at a Vietnamese restaurant in Korea, and although they all lived in other regions, Gyeonggi-do and Gyeongsang-do, they gathered in Okcheon for the drug party.

Additionally, A stated in the police investigation that she obtained the drugs through the closed social networking service (SNS) Telegram.
