The topic related to Ju Ji Hoon's success has recently been a hot topic. It is known that the actor born in 1982 is currently reaping exorbitant praise for his extraordinary acting in the Netflix drama "The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call".
Ji Hun has also been promoting 3 projects in a row in the past 3 months. Many believe that the actor will return to his peak once again. Amidst Ji Hun's rising popularity, some people are looking back at his past and bringing up his drug scandal 16 years ago to discuss.
Apparently there are still some comments that allude to his past controversies, such as "Why do we need to support a drug addict?" to "How can an actor who uses drugs continue acting?". Ji Hun debuted at the same time as Gong Yoo, Lee Min Ho, Lee Dong-wook and other actors.
Although he started his career as a model, he created a sensation across Asia with his debut role as Prince Lee Shin in "Goong" (2006). While the public had high hopes for Ji Hun's acting potential, the actor shocked everyone with an unexpected drug scandal in 2009.
In April 2009, Ji Hun was arrested by the police along with 15 suspects and an actress on suspicion of drug use and storage. Although the drug test results were negative, he admitted to using drugs. In his statement, Ji Hun confirmed that he had consumed ecstasy and ketamine while partying with his friends.
However, the actor firmly denied any involvement in sending or trafficking drugs from Japan to Korea. So, what is the reason Ji Hun is still successful after being involved in a drug scandal? To answer this question, many have put forward reasons that make the "Light Shop" drama star different from other celebrities who use drugs.
Ji Hun's acting is the first reason. Since his successful debut with "Goong", the actor has led many of his projects to success, with high ratings, high grosses, and record-breaking achievements ranging from "Along with the Gods", "Hyena", "The Mask", "Five Fingers", "Jirisan", and more.
In particular, Netflix's "Kingdom" series even opened a new era for the zombie genre on the OTT platform. Most recently, "The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call" immediately rose to No. 1 in the global rankings, proving that Ji Hun has a good choice of projects.
In addition, Ji Hun has also appeared in many film festivals and received many awards for his acting. Despite his past controversies, the actor has proven his talent and gained recognition not only from the audience but also from critics and film experts.
Secondly, Ji Hun’s sincerity and efforts to rebuild his career after the drug scandal also contributed to his success. Despite the challenges and hatred from the public, the actor insisted on pursuing acting and only focused on improving his performance while accepting all the feedback and criticism from netizens.
