W2,897,500 is the value of whatever it is that was confiscated -- and that's a lot of money. I'm surprised he got such a light sentence, although the court undoubtedly factored in the Army's certain punishment as well.

Kim, Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment, 121 Combat Support Hospital, was convicted of violations of the Act on the Control of Narcotics. His adjudged sentence was imprisonment for 1 year and 6 months, suspended for 3 years, and a civil assessment in the amount of 2,897,500 Won." PFC Kim dumb move for narcotics use -- and he's headed out the door. But my question is how the heck did the courts come up with a sum of 2,897,500 won??? Couldn't they just round it off?
