Hello. This is Starship Entertainment.

Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency’s drug investigation unit ended their drug investigation on March 10th for ex-Monsta X member, Wonho, and cleared him of all charges of drugs, including marijuana.

In late October of last year, Wonho was being suspected of smoking marijuana and Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency’s drug investigation unit conducted an investigation to look into all drug charges. During this investigation, Wonho was very compliant and actively cooperated with all investigation procedures including scientific testing done by the investigative agency.

The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency’s drug investigation unit conducted detailed investigations for the past 5 months, but found no evidence to charge him and concluded the internal investigation on Wonho on March 10th. 

Regardless of what was discussed above, Wonho said he wants to once again deeply apologize for greatly worrying the fans during this time. We would also like to deeply thank the foreign and local fans for the dedicated support during the investigation.

The company was making efforts to minimize media exposure on Wonho and we waited patiently until we made sure there were no wrong charges made against him. We will do our best to continue to support Wonho in whatever career path he wants to choose.

Thank you.

K-pop star Wonho has been cleared of all charges by Seoul police in an investigation into allegations of past drug usage.

On Friday (March 13), Starship Entertainment announced that the former Monsta X member had been cleared of all charges by the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency after an investigation was launched against him last year following a series of allegations made against him.

“During the investigation, Wonho actively cooperated with the police and all investigation procedures, including scientific examinations by the investigative agencies,” reads a statement from Starship. “The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency’s drug investigation unit conducted extensive investigations for the past five months but was unable to find any charges. Finally, on March 10th, Wonho’s internal investigation was concluded.”

Though the singer, who is known as both Lee and Shin Ho-seok legally but has used the stage name "Wonho” for his entire career, left Monsta X and halted his career as an artist last year, Starship’s statement hints to a renewed future path for the beloved star, whose departure from Monsta X amid the investigation resulted in widespread protests from fans. “We will continue to fully support Wonho for developing his own career in the future,” said Starship. At this time, there is no clarification regarding what his “own career in the future” entails.

Wonho most recently participated in Monsta X’s English-language All About Luv LP, which debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 in February.
