Earlier in 2019, Yoochun received a suspended sentence for drug use with his then-girlfriend. He was sentenced to 10 months in prison with a two-year probation and was released. At that time, Park Yoochun apologized for his involvement in drug use and expressed his intention to retire from the entertainment industry. However, he later reversed his decision and made a comeback, actively engaging in activities both domestically and internationally from January 2020 onwards.
He then signed an exclusive contract with the agency Re:Cielo Entertainment and started activities overseas, but last year, Park Yoo-chun entered into a legal battle with Have Fun Together, the company that had acquired the management rights from his former agency, Re:Cielo. The Seoul Central District Court cited Have Fun Together’s application for an injunction to prohibit Park Yoochun from appearing on broadcasts and engaging in entertainment activities domestically and internationally. As a result, Park Yoochun’s entertainment activities came to a halt.
