Yoo Ah In, who always makes remarks on SNS regarding various matters, is expected to speak up against his recent drug use accusations.
According to the Korean police on February 8th, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency is investigating Yoo Ah In for violating the Narcotics Control Act. In particular, it is suspected that Yoo Ah In had been prescribed propofol – a drug illegal for non-medical use, at various hospitals since early 2021, so the actor is banned from leaving the country and his body hair has been collected for analysis from the National Forensic center.
Regarding this, Yoo Ah In’s agency acknowledged that the actor is under investigation by the police regarding the use of propofol. They also added that they will further clarify the situation in the future.
As of the moment, a media outlet has reported that Yoo Ah In tested negative for propofol but positive for marijuana. However, Yoo Ah In’s side refuted this claim.
On the other hand, fans are expressing regrets and anticipate an official statement from the actor, as Yoo Ah In is known for always freely stating his mind.
Previously, Yoo Ah In has spoken out on various social issues. In the case of the disaster that occurred in Itaewon on Halloween last year, he expressed his anger, saying, “People are keeping their screens on and using the lost lives as weapons, shields, materials, snacks, and roadblocks. Dog noises are now louder than the wailing of those who suffer. Those who are doing well by selling big data, shut up, you should be ashamed of yourself.”
As Yoo Ah In is known as a celebrity who openly makes several remarks, netizens are paying attention to his SNS updates in response to his controversy. Currently, his most recent Instagram update is a photo promoting an acquaintance’s solo exhibition posted a week ago.
Meanwhile, Yoo Ah In is currently set to appear in his upcoming films “The Match” and “Hi.5”, so it seems that this controversy will cause a bigger damage.
