Smoking weed in Korea comes with a big risk, and public opinion around it is overtly negative. You could face up to 5 years in prison for possession or usage of marijuana. There's a rapper who is trying to change this, and he is coming soon to the infamous rap survival show "Show Me The Money."

His latest album "Detox" has a very clear message and that is "I smoke weed and I love it." Even the cover art is a pile of marijuana nugs.

Not only is he open in his activism(?) through music, but he also headed a national petition to legalize marijuana. The petition was signed by nearly 14K people.

The public is interested in seeing what he would say on TV, and what kind of issues he would instigate. Though opinion on him varies, Bill Stax is unwavering in his dedication towards legalization.
