Broadcaster Robert Holley (64, Korean name Ha Il), who has been embroiled in controversy over past drug use, has revealed his current status.

On the 5th, a video was uploaded to the YouTube channel ‘Bejjangi Entertainment’ featuring Robert Harley as a guest.

In the video, Harley confesses, “Two years ago, I suddenly developed a strange rare disease. While receiving treatment, I developed inflammation all over my body.” She adds, “I was hospitalized and couldn’t leave the hospital for two and a half months. I developed sepsis and pneumonia.”

“It’s been a very difficult five or six years,” Harley said, recalling the drug controversy. “I had a big incident five years ago and I’ve been at home since then,” she said. “I’ve just been staying home quietly (with my family and dogs).”

“Five years ago, I wanted to die. I’ve had those thoughts of death many times,” Harley confessed. “Before that, I would go out and meet friends and hang out together. Five or six years ago, people I was close with completely cut off contact. Some people blocked me, and I blocked some friends,” she added. “Among my celebrity friends, there’s a younger sibling who’s been through a hard time, and he told me, ‘Forget those people. There’s no point in holding grudges in your heart. ’”

“I have two dogs. They love me unconditionally. They have been a huge help to me. I was able to overcome it thanks to the help of my family and five or six close friends,” Harley said.

Harley said that he is about to appear on a variety show with his wife. “First of all, I made a mistake. I regret it a lot and apologized a lot. I want to say no to the rumors about me and my son (the rumor that Robert Harley covered up his son’s drug charges).” He also said with a laugh, “My wife once said she wanted to kill me in front of the camera.”

Meanwhile, Harley, a former American lawyer, is a first-generation broadcaster who became naturalized in 1997. He married a Korean woman in 1988 and has three sons. He gained popularity for his savory Gyeongsang dialect and honest personality. However, he was arrested on drug charges in April 2019 and sentenced to one year in prison and two years of probation in August of that year, and disappeared from the broadcast.

Last August, Harley appeared on CBS Radio’s “Kim Hyun-jung’s News Show” and confessed that she had a hard time because of drug use. It was Harley’s first public appearance in about four years since she was arrested on drug use charges in 2019. He emphasized, “You should not touch drugs at all.”
