The junior Chung is suspected of illegally using a liquid variety of marijuana on three occasions at his home in Seoul last year and smoked marijuana with another chaebol family member, the arrested 31-year-old grandson of the late founder of SK Group.
Chung had left for the United Kingdom one week before the third-generation SK family member was arrested in February for suspected drug use. (Yonhap)
