BoA (Kwon Bo Ah, 34)'s drug smuggling charges have been dismissed by the prosecution.

On the 4th, SM released a statement to address charges against BoA for smuggling an anti-psychotropic sleep inducing drug Zolpidem from Japan last year under an SM employee's name.

SM stated, "We would like to inform you that at the end of May the prosecution decided not to indict BoA regarding charges reported last year. Our staff that delivered the sleeping pills prescribed to BoA did not properly understand the relevant laws and regulations so he didn't properly comply with drug approval procedures, the domestic delivery process and the deficiencies that arose. The prosecution has taken this into account and both BoA and our staff have not been prosecuted. We bow our head once again for causing concern through this incident."

1. [+923, -39] ??? Didn't Park Bom smuggle drugs and all those propofol cases too so how can she claim not to know the law when she smuggled Zolpidem in? 
2. [+728, -43] This is so ridiculous. Once again celebrities are flaunting their money and power... true justice doesn't exist when celebrities are involved. 
3. [+552, -123] Her oppa is battling cancer right now, what is she doing?
4. [+112, -0] Korean law is limitlessly harsh to the weak and infinitely generous to the strong.
5. [+112, -1] Celebrities, chaebols and their families are never indicted. If you have money and power in our country, there is no sin you can't commit because you're untouchable..
6. [+63, -3] Huh?! Couldn't justify charging her with drugs? So just because she didn't know the laws justifies a non-indictment?? She clearly knew what would happen if she was caught with the wrong drug...the judge that ruled this is problematic too..
7. [+26, -0] The entire entertainment industry in being held up on the backs of druggies, it's no wonder Burning Sun was never properly investigated.
8. [+24, -0] Are there celebrities with any mentals left? Because they've lived their lives chasing money and fame, their minds are exhausted and their lives became dependent on drugs.
9. [+20, -1] I used to think BoA was so refreshing as a celebrity so to see her falling apart like this...hul ~ SM has been in a lot of scandals lately too
10. [+11, -1] After the Seungri incident, its become clear how intertwined the entertainment industry is with drugs. It's no wonder they closed their eyes. It's not surprising because it's the expected result...
