4分钟阅读Source

Tracing the fall of Cha Joo Hyuk (Kangho) from the K-Pop group Coed School, from his 2010 debut to his eventual imprisonment for drug and DUI charges.

What happens when a K-Pop star's dream turns into a legal nightmare? For Cha Joo Hyuk, once known by his stage name Kangho in the group Coed School, the stage lights were replaced by the harsh reality of a prison cell. His story is a cautionary tale of a promising career derailed by a series of criminal charges.

A Rare Co-ed Experiment

Coed School debuted in 2010 under Core Contents Media. As a ten-member group with both male and female members, they were an anomaly in a K-Pop scene dominated by boy groups and girl groups. The group later split into two subunits, SPEED (male) and F-ve Dolls (female). However, the original group disbanded just three years later in 2013. Cha Joo Hyuk attempted to transition into acting but his career never truly took off.

A Spiral of Scandals: The Timeline

It was a string of criminal charges that brought his name back into the headlines. According to media reports, his legal troubles began to mount significantly in 2016.

Indicted on charges of smuggling and using drugs, including ketamine, ecstasy, and marijuana.
Sentenced to 1.5 years in prison, suspended for two years. Just ten days after receiving this suspended sentence, he was involved in a DUI car accident.
South Korea's Supreme Court upheld his sentence of 1 year and 6 months in prison for his combined drug and DUI charges, leading to his immediate incarceration.
