Park Si-Yeon, Lee Seung-Yeon and Jang Mi-In-Ae were charged in March with taking the prescription drug for & quot;non-medical purposes. & quot; All three were found guilty by the Seoul Central District Court on Monday and received eight-month prison terms -- suspended for two years, the court spokesman told AFP.
