She wasnt trying to smuggle them, in the U.S she was prescribed with them, she thought the drugs were not available in Korea she didnt know they were prohibited even for medical use, after the investigators found out she had a prescription from a doctor they let it off. She is now using a Korean medication. Someone has wronged against her
