Q
Are foreigners more likely to be detained in drug cases?
A Answer
Foreign nationals often face a higher perceived flight risk, because they can leave the country. Drug cases also carry a strong concern about destroying evidence or contacting dealers. To counter this, your lawyer should present concrete proof of stability: your residence, employment, family in Korea, length of stay, and willingness to surrender your passport. Preparation before the hearing makes a real difference.
