On November 1st, Amy reportedly launched a new Instagram account, sharing several photos with the caption, "Now begins my new life."
In the photos, Amy is seen smiling brightly at the camera. She shared, "I'm trying to smile and be brave again. I've picked myself up and am challenging everything."
She further expressed her determination to change, stating, "I've lost weight to return to my former self. I'm trying to go out and not be afraid of people, to be confident."
However, some netizens referenced Amy's past controversies, commenting, "Isn't she the druggie sister? Have you quit now?" In response, Amy clarified, "I'm not a druggie. Someone spiked my coffee without my knowledge," expressing her frustration over her drug-related convictions.
She added, "I hope the day comes when I can speak about it. I haven't had any cosmetic surgery or dermatology treatments for a long time. Since the propofol incident, I haven't gone anywhere."
Amy was sentenced to eight months in prison with a two-year suspended sentence in 2012 for propofol use. However, during her probation period in September 2014, she was fined again for zolpidem use, leading to her deportation in December 2015. After her deportation period ended in January 2021, she returned to Korea but was involved in another drug scandal within seven months, resulting in her arrest.
