JUST a day after singer Man Wenjun apologized publicly for taking drugs, his record company, Taihe Rye, vowed yesterday to address the issue of drug abuse by musicians.

"We will definitely warn our artists against taking drugs, and will take concrete measures to stop it from happening," Song Ke, director of Taihe Rye, told Xinhua yesterday. He did not elaborate on possible measures.

Song said Man's arrest was the first time in his 10-plus year entertainment career that he has had to deal with a singer's drug problem. He said he will show tolerance and support him.

On May 19, Man was caught taking drugs in a club and tested positive for ecstasy following a drug test. He was put under detention and was released on June 3.
