A shocking drug-related incident has been uncovered at a remote rural rental cottage, far from the prying eyes of the public.

Two female college students and a group of men were arrested for participating in a mass drug party. Some of the individuals involved were later identified as illegal immigrants.

On Wednesday, the narcotics unit of the Criminal Investigation Division announced the arrest of six Vietnamese nationals living in South Korea. The group, which included three women and three men in their 20s, was charged with violating South Korea’s Narcotics Control Act.

According to police reports, the suspects were allegedly involved in a collective drug use event, known as a mass drug party, at a rental cottage in Okcheon, North Chungcheong Province, on November 16.

Acting on a tip-off about the planned drug party, the police swiftly raided the location and apprehended the suspects in the act. During the raid, authorities seized 32.5 tablets of ecstasy, 9.41 grams of ketamine, and 1.15 million won (approximately $803) in drug-related proceeds.

The arrested individuals included two female college students and three men, all of whom were of Vietnamese nationality

The primary female suspect reportedly recruited the two female students after receiving requests from men who sought to party with young women. The group, which had initially met at Vietnamese restaurants across the country, gathered in Okcheon for the drug-fueled event, traveling from different regions, including Gyeonggi and Gyeongsang Provinces.

During police interrogation, the female suspect confessed to procuring the drugs through the encrypted messaging app Telegram.

A spokesperson for the Daejeon Police Agency commented, “Since September, we’ve been conducting targeted narcotics operations in entertainment districts, including nightclubs. Drug-related crimes not only destroy lives but also pose a significant threat to public safety. We strongly urge citizens to report any suspicious activity immediately.”
