Joo Hi Hoon joins the military to avoid drug charges

Joo Ji Hoon, the model and actor who starred in Princess Hours as Crown Prince Lee Shin, has successfully avoided his sentence of one year probation and 120 hours of community service for drug charges by attending the military – so far.

Being found with narcotics is a huge crime in countries like Korea and Japan. People are almost always thrown into prison and face heavy fines. But not for the good-looking and popular Joo Ji Hoon. He decided to join the military and lay low under the public spotlight to try to escape his judgment.

He joined the military in February of 2010 and he will stay for two years. I wonder what’s better, serving the military or going to jail? The worst case would be that immediately after he is done with his service he would have to go to jail.
