Singer Fankey opened up about his situation of not being allowed to enter his home for six and a half months during his past drug case, along with his feelings at the time.

On the 14th, a video titled "'After praying, this happened...' Fankey♥Kang Da-hye couple share their testimony together for the first time" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Lee Seong-mi's "I Can't Go"'.

That day, Fankey mentioned the drug incident. Fankey said, "When I moved to the United States and lived there, my awareness of such drugs was low, and my perception itself was different. Things that were considered normal in the U.S. are illegal in Korea, so I lived with the thought, 'What kind of drug is this?'"

He continued, "I had the mindset that 'it's illegal in Korea, so I shouldn't do it,' but I didn't have a negative perception of these drugs. It was different from the sensibilities of Korean citizens."

Fankey stated, "About two or three years ago, I was taken by the Prosecution Service due to an incident," adding, "The Prosecution Service came to my home. At first, I was flustered."

Fankey's wife, Kang Da-hye, recalled the time, saying, "The prosecutor called me. They said I had to inform one family member that an investigation was being conducted on them. (Fankey) sounded completely terrified. It was a side of him I had never seen."

She continued, "(Fankey) told me, 'It didn't show up in my body, there's no evidence. I was hanging out with bad guys back then, and I'm being held unjustly because of them. I'll be released tomorrow, so don't tell my in-laws or the company.' I knew he was friends with bad people, but I never thought he would do something like this. Yet, after that, I couldn't enter our home for six months."

Fankey said, "I thought I'd spend two nights at the detention center and then go home. It was during the event season." He added, "But during the substantive review of the arrest warrant, I was told to go to the detention center, so that's where I ended up. That's where it all began."

He shared, "For six and a half months, all the crimes I committed came back to me. They didn't give me any room for injustice."

Meanwhile, Fankey was indicted from 2011 to 2012 for allegedly injecting ecstasy three times with acquaintances Song Mo and Bae Mo at hotel party rooms in Seoul's Songpa-gu. He also faced charges of selling methamphetamine and ecstasy to Song and Bae between 2011 and 2013, earning 5.5 million won. As a result of this incident, Fankey, who was indicted in 2014, received an eight-month prison sentence with a two-year probation period following the trial.
