Composer and entrepreneur Don Spike, whose real name is Kim Min-soo, has announced plans to open a restaurant in Gyeongju after serving time for drug-related charges.
On September 10, Don Spike shared on his social media that he is reflecting on his past mistakes from four years ago. He stated, "I have taken time to look back on my life and reflect on the errors I made."
He added, "This has been a valuable time to determine how I will live the rest of my life to avoid repeating the same mistakes. With the help of good people, I am preparing for a new beginning in the beautiful coastal area of Gampo in Gyeongju."
Don Spike expressed his commitment to not disappoint those who have supported him, saying, "I will do my best to meet everyone's expectations and support."
Previously, he revealed the exterior of his upcoming restaurant, which will be named 'BARBACOA by donspike.'
Don Spike has a history in the restaurant industry, having previously operated a barbecue specialty restaurant.
In September 2022, Don Spike was arrested for purchasing approximately 45 million won worth of methamphetamine and using it with female escorts at hotels and resorts from late 2021 to September 2022.
In January 2023, he was sentenced to three years in prison with a five-year probation in the first trial, but the second trial overturned the original sentence, resulting in a two-year prison term, which he has now completed.
