Kim Bada Uploads Handwritten Apology Ahead of Concert Following Marijuana Charges: "I Will Become a Better Person"

Singer Kim Bada, who was arrested by police last March on charges of possessing and smoking marijuana, has posted a handwritten apology ahead of a free solo concert scheduled for October 10.

Through social media on the 28th, Kim Bada released a handwritten apology, writing, "My actions last March caused worry and hurt to those who cherished and trusted me. My heart aches when I think of those feelings." He added, "I know that time passing does not make everything simply vanish. That is why, over this past time, I looked back on my life and thought deeply about what kind of person I should live as."

He went on to emphasize, "In the end, what I can do is show you slowly through my future actions, my life, and my music rather than with words." He continued, "I realize more deeply than before how truly grateful I am to be able to sing and stand on stage. I will live more cautiously. I will strive to become a better person. I want to greet you once again with music filled with sincerity."

Kim Bada was arrested by police last March on charges of possessing and smoking marijuana at a house in downtown Sokcho, Gangwon Province. Police conducted a tracking investigation for about two months after receiving related intelligence, and Kim Bada reportedly admitted to the charges during the investigation.

Previously on April 14, Kim Bada apologized via social media, stating, "I have decided to part ways with my agency, Another Place, and all the members. I deeply reflect and feel apologetic for my fault in creating this situation. I will someday return with a good album."

Debuting in the 1990s with the band Bank, Kim Bada made a name for himself as the fifth vocalist of Sinawe. Afterward, he has been active as a rock vocalist in various bands, including Butterfly Effect, Ratios, and Art of Parties.
