Mr. Choi Jin-seok (pseudonym), who has been using muscle-building drugs for 15 years. Mr. Jin-seok, a former bodybuilder and health trainer, says that he could not quit drugs due to the nature of his job. The drug that Mr. Jin-seok uses is 'anabolic steroids'. This drug is a type of synthetic male hormone. It promotes protein synthesis and significantly increases muscle mass in a short period of time. Steroids are not used except in very special cases such as sarcopenia and hereditary angioedema. They are prescription drugs that must be used strictly according to a doctor's diagnosis and prescription. However, these prescription drugs are being traded among the general public. Steroids purchased directly through overseas sites or obtained through dealers. Personal trading of prescription drugs is clearly illegal as it violates the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act. Steroid sellers are subject to up to 5 years in prison or a fine of up to 50 million won. Since July of last year, buyers have also been subject to a fine of 1 million won, but it is still easy to find people purchasing steroids on the Internet. Mr. Oh Seong-jin, a former famous bodybuilder. He started taking drugs to perform well in bodybuilding competitions. After two years of taking the drugs, all that remained were worsening health and azoospermia. “I was so greedy that I thought I would die in my youthful spirit. But when I couldn’t have a child, I got tested and found out I had azoospermia. (When you use drugs) it looks good on the outside but rots and decays on the inside.” From an interview with Oh Seong-jin. The side effects of steroids include hair loss, gynecomastia, skin necrosis, and azoospermia. In addition, they can cause various endocrine diseases such as decreased kidney function and heart attack.
