‘Change of name to Seo Eun-woo’ Seo Min-jae “After taking drugs, I lost everything, I was ruined”

Channel A's 'Heart Signal 3' cast member Seo Min-jae's current status has been revealed.

Episode 1346 of KBS 1TV's '60 Minutes Chase', which airs at 10 p.m. on the 1st, is the 'Why I Couldn't Quit Drugs' episode, which confirms the shocking reality of drug use and examines the current state of Korea's drug treatment and rehabilitation system.

On this day's broadcast, Seo Min-jae appears and confesses his feelings for the first time since the drug incident. He, who made his face known by appearing in 'Heart Signal 3', posted on his Instagram in August last year that he had taken Philopon with singer Nam Tae-hyun, who was his lover at the time.

The post, which seemed to be posted while under the influence of drugs, shocked many fans. Seo Min-jae, who was investigated by the police for this incident, was sent to trial after a hair analysis by the National Institute of Forensic Science (National Forensic Service) tested positive for drugs last May.

Seo Min-jae, who is currently on trial and abstaining from drugs, said, "I lost everything I had (to drugs)," and added, "I really hope other people don't use drugs. The only end of drugs is destruction."

Seo Min-jae said she hopes that through her appearance on '60 Minutes Chase', more female addicts will be able to receive treatment. Women face greater difficulties with treatment and rehabilitation. As of September this year, the number of female drug offenders arrested was 6,670, a record high.

Seo Min-jae, who admitted all charges, is scheduled for a second trial on the 7th.
