Introduction

Jung Ilhoon (정일훈; or Ilhoon) is a South Korean rapper, songwriter and composer under Cube Entertainment. He used to be the main rapper of the boy group BTOB. He is also best known as the creator of the 'Gwiyomi Player'.

He made his debut as a member of BTOB on March 21, 2012 with their first single "Insane".

He made his solo debut on March 8, 2018 with the mini album Big Wave.

Ilhoon is the last BTOB member that enlisted on May 28, 2020. He is currently serving as a public service worker.

In December 2020, Jung Ilhoon officially departs BTOB following his marijuana controversy.

Jung submitted two statements of reflection on April 15, 2021 and attended the first trial on the morning of April 22, 2021. He admitted to all charges.

On June 10, 2021, Jung was sentenced to two years in prison as well as an additional fine of 133 million KRW for marijuana usage. He appealed to the court later the same month on the basis of misunderstandings during the initial trial and in the November 18, 2021 hearing the prosecution lowered the fine request to 126.6 million KRW. Jung showed remorse on multiple occasions during the case, submitting more than 80 statements of reflection.

An the final appeal trial on December 16, 2021, the original sentenced of two years in prison was overturned into three years on probation, 40 hours of drug treatment as well as a 126.63 million KRW fine. Jung stopped using marijuana in 2019, and had since attended psychotherapy as well as online classes to stop his addiction voluntarily. It is said that the crime not being systematically done, Jung having no previous criminal record, and him having a strong bond with his family as well as other social ties to keep him straight influenced the court's decision. Jung submitted more than one hundred statements of reflection to the court in total, with fan petitions being said to have had an influence.
