Last week, Kai Ko (柯震東) and Jaycee Chan (房祖名) were arrested in Beijing for illegal drug use. Police seized over 100 grams of marijuana at Jaycee’s house, in which Kai was one of the party guests. Numerous reporters waited outside at Dongcheng Detention Center to await the latest breaking news details. Under police supervision, Kai released an apology to the public, in which he admitted that he is a terrible influence on young people. Reduced to tears, Kai said, “I’ve set the worst example. I’ve made the biggest mistake. I am especially sorry to my family and friends. They were the ones who have supported me the most and loved me the most. I did the wrong thing and I am worried, but I know my family and friends are even more worried for me. My heart really hurts. I really want to tell them I’m sorry. I’ve disappointed them. To all the youths of society, I want to let them know that I did the wrong thing.” Kai Ko’s parents and elder brother arrived in Beijing Monday night to visit Kai, who is under administrative detention. However, due to strict procedures, they could not visit Kai for the time being. Kai’s manager Angie Chai (柴智屏) released a second statement, expressing that she will respect the procedures and hopes Kai will reunite with his family soon. She said she felt very emotional after watching Kai’s apology video and hopes that he learns from the mistake and starts anew. Detained for 14 days, Kai will be released from detention on August 27. Reportedly, Kai’s agency will arrange for the 23-year-old to issue another public apology. As mending his public image will take time, his management is considering having Kai enlist for Taiwan mandatory military service in advance. Creds: Oncc
