[Financial News] Kim Ba-da, a former member of the band 'Sinawe,' has announced plans to resume his activities after being caught on suspicion of smoking marijuana.
On the 28th, Kim Ba-da posted a message on social media that said, "I am sorry for causing you pain over what happened last March. I have deeply reflected on my actions."
He continued, "Rather than words, I want to greet you again through my actions, my life, and music filled with sincerity," expressing his intention to resume his activities.
Kim Ba-da was arrested in Sokcho last March on suspicion of possessing and smoking marijuana, but avoided detention after a court rejected an arrest warrant. In 2010, he was also sentenced to one year in prison, suspended for two years, for a similar offense.
Kim Ba-da rose to prominence after joining Sinawe as its fifth vocalist in 1996. He later performed with the bands Butterfly Effect and Art of Parties.
