Yoon Byung-ho's agency, FTW Independence Records, reported on the 31st that Yoon Byung-ho's new song 'Already' is not stopping working on music even in prison.
According to the agency, Yoon called his family in prison on a collect call while in prison and asked them to record the verse he wrote. The agency is then preparing a new sound source based on the voice.
The agency will release the voice file recorded by Yoon Byung-ho as an official sound source after working on it later. The agency said that "Yoon Byung-ho has not lost his passion for creation despite the current difficult situation" and that "this single is a work with his sincerity and passion."
In the meantime, `Yoon Byung-ho is deeply reflecting on his wrongdoings and pledges to make a comeback while being legally punished for drug administration" Attention is focusing on how the release of the song will affect his musical journey and whether he will be able to announce a new beginning," he added.
Yun Byung-ho, who was also charged with buying, possessing, smoking, and taking drugs such as hemp, fentanyl, and methamphetamine from January 2018 to July 2022, was sentenced to seven years in prison in December 2023.
Among them, he was additionally tried for dabbling in drugs. Yun Byung-ho was sentenced in October last year to take two years of probation and 40 hours of lectures on the prevention of drug crimes in August, 2022, after being accused of administering psychotropic drugs containing diazepam, lorazepam, and zolpidem in an unknown way at the Incheon Detention Center on August 17-26.
At the time, Yoon Byung-ho denied the allegation, claiming that it constitutes a so-called 'Pongdang case' that allows others to administer drugs without their knowledge, but the court did not accept Yoon's claim on the grounds that it was difficult to have someone else take an unprescribed drug without the defendant's knowledge, and that there was no other way to explain that psychotropic drugs were detected in urine without the defendant taking them.
On the other hand, in October 2020, he was accused of assaulting acquaintances with weapons such as baseball bats and fluorescent lights and threatening them not to report them. In this incident, the victim suffered four weeks of injuries before treatment, including joint dislocation, concussion, and facial contusion.
Yun Byung-ho, born in 2000, made his face and name known when he appeared on Mnet 'High School Rapper' in 2017. Since then, he has participated in several hip-hop survival events, including 'High School Rapper 2', 'Show Me the Money 777' and 'Show Me the Money 8'.
