Asian Junkie Asian pop. Without discretion.
As you may have noticed, the drug scandal with YG, YG Entertainment, B.I, T.O.P, Han Seo Hee, and others is quite the mess. As such, it’s understandable that details might get lost in the shuffle or mixed up. Given the track records of … uh, just about everybody involved, there’s reason to question all of them and I noticed some of that confusion going on in the comments on these stories recently.
So I decided to try and piece what I could of this together into some kind of relatively cohesive timeline just for reference sake going forward.
Not saying this is complete by any means, so if you have other dates or whatever, feel free to let me know so I can update it.

Han Seo Hee has clarified that her August 2016 and October 2016 cases were combined into one case and that she was already sentenced in August of 2017.
Anyway, for all the questions about the timeline, it does generally seem to check out. Assuming this is all true, it makes sense why YG would be freaking out about T.O.P seeing/dating HSH when he knew that HSH was trouble from the B.I investigation. Her being overseas also appears to have worked as intended. That said, this timeline does seem to call into question what exactly the police and prosecutors were doing, so it’s no surprise they are currently continuing to blame each other.
Of course, whether all this turns out to be accurate is still up in the air, as while there are many confirmed events through admission, texts, and records, there are also those that are just reported and alleged as of now. Still, as it stands, it appears that the timeline holds up, it’s just a matter of whether the reports and allegations that contribute to it do.
