D.Ark, the Former 'Show Me the Money' and 'High School Rapper 4' Prodigy, Embroiled in Another Controversy
The Fall of a 20-Year-Old: From Potential to 'Illegality,' a Bitter Variation
From "Hip-Hop Prodigy" to "Suspect in Drug Charges"
Rapper D.Ark (Kim Woo-rim) has been arrested by the police on charges of distributing and smoking marijuana.
Mokpo Police Station announced on Sunday the 27th that they had executed an arrest warrant for D.Ark on charges of violating the Act on the Management of Narcotics and are currently investigating. D.Ark is currently denying all charges.
"From a 14-Year-Old 'Show Me the Money' Boy to a 20-Year-Old Suspect"
Born in 2004 in Yanbian, China, D.Ark made his name known through Mnet's 'Show Me the Money 777' in 2018. Despite being only 14 years old at the time, he gained attention as a "hip-hop prodigy" with his skillful flow and rap ability.
Afterwards, he took 3rd place in 'High School Rapper 4' in 2021 and continued his career by releasing several singles such as 'Potential,' 'Bye,' and 'STAY.'
However, the shadow of controversy always followed him. In the same year, he posted a photo of himself in a bar as a minor on social media. When controversy arose, he posted an apology, saying, "I admired the world of the older guys."
"I just wanted to share the world of the older guys. I will be more careful and reflect on my actions in the future."
⚖️ "Denying Charges"... Distribution Charges Could Result in 'Life Imprisonment'
This case is not a simple drug use case, but includes charges of 'distribution,' making the matter far from light.
According to the current Act on the Management of Narcotics:
Simple Drug Use: Imprisonment of up to 10 years or a fine of up to 100 million won
Distribution, Sale, or Mediation: Life imprisonment or imprisonment for more than 5 years
The police are expanding the investigation, focusing on whether D.Ark smoked marijuana and whether he was involved in the distribution channels.
???? Snack's Comment
The boy who rapped about 'potential' at the age of 14 is now being called by the word 'suspicion' at the age of 20. In order for hip-hop to sing about freedom, it must first learn the weight of responsibility.
