According to information released by Korean media in the past, from July 5, 2016 to January 9, 2019, Jung Yi-hoon smoked marijuana 161 times with 7 accomplices of the defendants and 8 people, and spent about 130 million won (about NT$3.5 million) to buy 862 grams of marijuana, and the money they bought drugs was traded in cryptocurrency.
However, Zheng Yixun wore a brown prison uniform and had a heavy face on the 2nd, refuting the results of the prosecution's investigation, believing that he had not smoked marijuana so many times and purchased so much, and appealed through the defense lawyer, "Although Zheng Yixun turned himself in at the first trial, the number of times he smoked marijuana and purchased marijuana was exaggerated." Zheng Yixunfang believes that the criminal responsibility is too heavy, and he believes that he has not smoked so many times, so he also hopes that the court will re-sentence the amount of recollection.
