Ketamine Drug Use (Club Drug) – Foreign Client Received Suspension of Indictment, Avoided Deportation

Law Firm Dongju 법무법인 동주 

A foreign national was investigated for ketamine use, commonly referred to as a club drug, after being named during a police investigation into drug distribution.
The client had used ketamine once at a club under the influence of alcohol and peer pressure, without fully realizing the seriousness of the act.

Because ketamine is classified as a high-risk synthetic drug, even first-time offenders can face arrest, imprisonment, and deportation — especially foreign nationals.

Dongju Law Firm’s defense strategy included:

• Acknowledging the act and showing full cooperation with law enforcement.

• Emphasizing that the use was one-time and non-habitual, influenced by peers.

• Proving that the client had no prior record and showed deep remorse during investigation.

• Submitting evidence of rehabilitation intent and commitment to lawful behavior in Korea.

✅ The result?
The prosecution granted a suspension of indictment (기소유예), recognizing the client’s cooperation, first-time status, and sincere reflection. The client avoided criminal penalties and maintained visa eligibility without deportation.
