SS501 management, DSP Entertainment confirmed the hospital statement in a phone interview, “Kim Hyun Joong had a hard time getting to sleep so he took a sleeping pill. But it didn’t have any effect so he took a couple more. That’s all to it really.” He added, “Kim Hyun Joong sometimes takes sleeping pills when he can’t get to sleep like normal so it isn’t really much of an issue here.”
