Hemp had been grown for cloth for centuries, and smoking it was not an offencea 1970 law had put Korean hemp under drug control on paper while arrests stayed confined to the camp towns. The Act banned possession and use in all forms, with prison terms, in the middle of a government campaign against youth culture that had already filled jails and blacklists with pop stars the year before.

A proposal and its progress through the year; the scored easing sits with the November passage.

On 3 December 1975 South Korean prosecutors arrested three folk singers for smoking marijuana.[@1] Within a month more than eighty entertainers had been taken in.[@1] The country's strict cannabis law, passed the following year, grew out of that winter, and the winter itself grew out of a five-year campaign against the way young people looked and sounded.[@1] ## A campaign against youth Under President Park Chung-hee the state had been policing youth culture since 1970, when a month-long drive went after long hair, short skirts and experimental art.[@1] | Year | Measure | |---|---| | 1970 | First yearly crackdown on long hair and miniskirts | … | The authorities film an anti-marijuana picture | By 1974 Korean folk, rock and pop had pushedtopped the older trot off the top of the charts for the first time. Park warned that young people smoking marijuana would "bring ruin to our country".[@1] ## A law nobody knew about Korean hemp had always been legal: the 1957 Narcotics Act banned only imported Indian marijuana.[@2,4] Washington pressed Seoul to close the loophole around the American bases, and in July 1970 parliament passed the Habit-Forming Drug Control bill, through the [marijuana criminalisation of July 1970](/history/south-korea-habit-forming-drugs-law-1970/).[@2] For four years arrests stayed inside the camp towns, so home smokers never realised the law had changed.[@2] ## The arrests The crackdown on smokers began late in November 1975; prosecutors had planned to arrest several dozen.[@1] On 3 December they took in three folk singers, among them Lee Jang-hee. The rock musician Shin Joong-hyun and Kim Jung-ho followed, then members of a band and a film director. Newspapers printed cartoons and "psychedelic" pictures to teach readers[@1] Shin drew the signs ofharshest treatment: a userpsychiatric hospital, prison time with torture, and a blacklist from concerts and radio that lasted until Park's assassination in 1979.[@3] Most of those arrested were not sent to prison. The Entertainers' Association banned them from recording and performing, some for life, and magazines reported that some were confined in mental institutions as addicts. Bans[@1] Newspapers printed cartoons teaching readers the signs of a user, and bans on more than 200 Western pop songs followed.[@1] ## The law that came after Hemp had been an ordinary Korean crop: it was, grown in every province as late asinto the 1930s, and on 9,000 hectares in the late 1950s.[@4] A law of 1957 had forbidden only imported "Indian marijuana".[@4] The [Cannabis Control Act of 1976](/history/south-korea-cannabis-control-act-1976/) banned the plant as a drug in every form. In, and in 2000 it was folded into a single narcotics law, with the ban unchanged. In February 1976 Park spoke against "degenerate fashions introduced from foreign countries", and that July his culture minister told an American newspaper that foreign influence would have no future part in Korean culture.[@4] ## Why the index moves a year later [The arrests](/history/south-korea-entertainers-arrested-1975/) were made before the ban on the plant existed in its later form, and they The December arrests changed no statute, so theybut mass arrests, prison cells and lifetime performance bans are recorded as context. The score for why the [South Korea](/country/kr/) enforcement score falls within 1975, before the [Cannabis Control Act of 1976](/history/south-korea-cannabis-control-act-1976/), which made possession and use crimes punishable with prison Act completes the ban.[@1]
